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

"It is a very user-friendly product."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like the ease of use."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
 

Cons

"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."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"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."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"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’)."
"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 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."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"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."
