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

"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."

"The solution is scalable."

"The interface is very good."

"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."

"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."

"I like the ease of use."

"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."

"The collaboration of the solution is good."

More Box pros

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

Cons

"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."

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

"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one. That was my recent experience. They might have a bulk delete, but I could not find that option. If you want to delete something, you have to go to each and every file and delete it."

"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."

"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."

"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."

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

"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."

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

"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."

"My organization pays for the license."

"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."

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

"Box's pricing is excellent."

"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!"
