Parthasarathy Chellapillai - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for data storage and data collaboration, but its data security could be improved
If I have restricted access within an organization by keeping the data in Box, there are other applications through which I can barge into the data. If anyone wants to keep a file restricted to four people, I can access it because it's available in the cloud. I can directly access the file and pull in the data by entering the file's name. Someone from outside the organization can't access it. However, someone from within the organization who is not supposed to access the data can access it, provided it is in Box. Box is almost like a folder structure outside your system. The solution uses the cloud, and you don't need any separate storage in your system. Even if your system crashes down, the data will be saved. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves efficiency and offers reliability along with good flexibility
I have used Oracle in different places, especially in the IT industry, for several years since 2009. I have been in the IT industry for a long period of time. I have had a chance to interact with many systems, and I have been in touch with several programming languages, including the ones in Oracle. As a developer, I use Oracle Content Management as an enterprise tool to enable development. The solution's integration capabilities are doing very well because I work with many of them, and its APIs are flexible, good, and secure. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

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."
"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."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"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 application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"The price must be lowered."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"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."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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!"
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
