Manage extensive content workflows with user-friendly interface and WebScan feature
What we appreciate about Arc XP is its comprehensiveness. For media organizations with numerous content contributors, creators, and curators, Arc offers a complete solution that addresses all their needs. It provides all the necessary tools for managing extensive content workflows, which we find particularly valuable. Another standout feature is its user-friendly interface. It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise. Lastly, the WebScan feature is exceptional. It functions like a newsroom project management tool, helping to organize and track content planning and workflow. This feature is unique to Arc and is highly beneficial for editorial planning.

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.

Pros

"It’s very intuitive, similar to Microsoft Word, making it accessible for journalists and content creators who may not have technical expertise."
"Arc XP Experience Platform is easy to use and flexible for creating different components in the front end."
"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."
"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"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."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
 

Cons

"For a small site, Arc XP Experience Platform is not worth it."
"Arc XP could add structured content."
"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."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"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."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"It could be cheaper."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
