Allows you to upload and download files quickly but lacks integration with Office 365
For enterprise users, the data is in a local repository. We use it for files for the end user process. This is a cloud solution. In my current organization, we have over 10,000 people using this solution. I use it very extensively. Users these days are working remotely You can upload your bin,…

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

"The sharing feature, with its various permission settings, such as viewing or uploading, is convenient and helpful."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"I like the ease of use."
"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
 

Cons

"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"The price must be lowered."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"I recommend doing the trial first, because it's not cheap ware. It's not overly expensive, but it's not cheap ware, and enterprise has a minimum number of users."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"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

"Better sign a full year's contract to get 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."
"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"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."
