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.

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

"Most amazingly its integration with Office 365 (online) is one of the best features it has other than integrating with other apps like Salesforce, etc."
"The editable features and upgrading capabilities are great."
"Customer service is top notch with having a dedicated customer success manager assigned to the account."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"Some units have migrated their content and processes from on premises storage to Box, saving money and time, and putting the power of collaboration into the hands of the users instead of requiring admin intervention."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
 

Cons

"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"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’)."
"It could be cheaper."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"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."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"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

"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"My organization pays for the license."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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."
