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.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."
"Customer service is top notch with having a dedicated customer success manager assigned to the account."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"The ease of using Box on multi-platforms, including my phone and tablet, along with the collaboration features means I've been able to use it with my family (including my non-tech-savvy parents) for simple sharing, as well as with colleagues for team collaboration."
"The word Box has become a verb at Morehouse College."
"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."
"In terms of scalability, it is easy to scale."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
 

Cons

"I truly believe that Box should have a box consulting division which would really enable customers who do not necessarily want to work with ISVs."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"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’)."
"Its functions need more stability."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"I would like to see better performance."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Box's pricing is excellent."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
