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.

Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

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."
"Box is very simple and effective, so I prefer Box."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"Secure sharing makes it easy to collaborate with team members without losing control over who can access and save documents."
"Awesome solution that works on many devices."
"The editable features and upgrading capabilities are great."
"We've never had a penetration. We've never had a security issue that their support didn't solve. We love their audit trail. We can know exactly when a collaborator opens. We love how you can define a collaborator."
"For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
 

Cons

"For a small site, Arc XP Experience Platform is not worth it."
"Arc XP could add structured content."
"The Search functionality needs to be more robust and behave like Google Search."
"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."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"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."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one."
"Box - Intelligent Content Management could improve by making the interface more intuitive for new users and simplifying some advanced settings."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"My organization pays for the license."
"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."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
