Team collaboration has improved through shared access and real-time synchronization

I find the synchronization feature most valuable in Box. When I use multiple devices, it syncs them together and gives excellent results. I can assess the benefits of Box's file sharing. Box's integration with third-party apps is valuable, especially with Outlook. Box has helped my team's productivity by being very helpful with team collaboration when we are sharing certain shared documents between us. I mostly value Box's automation capabilities. They have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team. This gives us a shared workspace to work together on the same document or the same ideas. Box's security features have helped my organization meet compliance needs.

Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors

The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."

"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."

"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."

"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."

"The most valuable feature of Box is security."

"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."

"The solution is scalable."

"I like the ease of use."

More Box pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."

Cons

"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."

"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."

"The integration with other products should be improved."

"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."

"The solution's data security should be improved."

"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."

"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."

"I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see who is accessing the document now and see my movements across the document or the file we are sharing together."

More Box cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."

"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."

"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate 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."

"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."

"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."

"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."

"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
