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.

Integrates cloud workflows with databases and has revealed areas we still want to explore
The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us. The database link feature helps my team because we have a lot of database linking. Nomad has positively impacted my organization as it is still in an evaluation phase, so I cannot comment on that right now. I have early signs and expectations that Nomad might improve efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"Being able to securely invite, share folders, do version control, and comment on files so quickly and easily without using unsecure large email attachments is a major productivity gain."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"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."
"File and Folder sharing in the organization and outside of it."
"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."
"I like the ease of use."
"In my opinion, the best feature that Nomad offers is quality, meaning its reliability and performance."
"The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us."
 

Cons

"The security settings are such that if I have a folder with subfolders several levels deep, whatever security setting I have for the parent folder gets inherited at all the subfolders. This has been limiting."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"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."
"I wish the search was faster, like a google search."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"Right now, I have not seen a return on investment and cannot share relevant metrics with you."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"They are very price competitive when pushed. Initially, they come out with a standard list price, but they are willing to be very competitive. The Box price was pretty much equal to or lower than the Citrix price, and Box has more features."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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."
