Manage extensive content workflows with user-friendly interface and WebScan feature
What we appreciate about Arc XP is its comprehensiveness. For media organizations with numerous content contributors, creators, and curators, Arc offers a complete solution that addresses all their needs. It provides all the necessary tools for managing extensive content workflows, which we find particularly valuable. Another standout feature is its user-friendly interface. It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise. Lastly, the WebScan feature is exceptional. It functions like a newsroom project management tool, helping to organize and track content planning and workflow. This feature is unique to Arc and is highly beneficial for editorial planning.

Structured cloud storage has streamlined document collaboration and automated workflows
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Box is mainly the pricing part; I think five dollars for this platform is not necessarily justified. While I have used it for integrating and using it as a cloud platform, I have not encountered any significant negative aspects. A few times, I might have faced performance issues, but I am uncertain whether that was due to the automation platform or Box itself. Overall, the only thing I could mention is that it can take a little time to understand how the integration works with Box; setup and figuring out what can and cannot be done might take some time, but other than that, I do not think anything else bothered me. One thing I would want Box to introduce to improve the platform and make it stand out even more would be incorporating AI. For example, the only way to identify documents shared in Box currently is by their names, and if those names are not precise, I can get confused. If Box had an AI feature to summarize and identify documents based on their contents, it would significantly enhance usability. AI is essential for making work easier, so that would be an excellent addition to the platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Arc XP Experience Platform is easy to use and flexible for creating different components in the front end."
"It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the set of security options that can be set when sharing files with a group."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"The best features of Box for me include the structured file organizing, which is the most important part I found, and apart from that, secure sharing and integration with automation platforms, along with its smooth integration and usage in automations, is a very big plus for me."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
 

Cons

"Arc XP could add structured content."
"For a small site, Arc XP Experience Platform is not worth it."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"The Search functionality needs to be more robust and behave like Google Search."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"I truly believe that Box should have a box consulting division which would really enable customers who do not necessarily want to work with ISVs."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"There are still some management features I would like to see improved, giving more control to IT."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"The security settings are such that if I have a folder with subfolders several levels deep, whatever security setting I have for the parent folder gets inherited at all the subfolders. This has been limiting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"The pricing may seem steep at first, but delve into the features and you'll soon realize it is incredible value for what you get."
"A business account has a minimum of three users. If you are more than three people in-house, go for the Enterprise version. All the external users are free of charge."
"I have to pay for Box. It could be a little cheaper. On a scale from one to ten, I would give the pricing a five."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"They are very price competitive when pushed. Initially, they come out with a standard list price, but they are willing to be very competitive. The Box price was pretty much equal to or lower than the Citrix price, and Box has more features."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"There's a free version that allows you to use it with almost full-feature access. Even in the free version, it gives you all you need."
