Senior Projects Manager at Tech-hub
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.

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

"File and Folder sharing in the organization and outside of it."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"The word Box has become a verb at Morehouse College."
"Awesome solution that works on many devices."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"File sharing for projects and other unique activities have been greatly enhanced."
"Box's automation capabilities have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team."
"We use Box as a cloud-based storage service for our employees to share documents, such as presentations, between people, and some of our customers have many gigabytes in files and we set up shared access to them using Box."
"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
 

Cons

"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"There are still some management features I would like to see improved, giving more control to IT."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"Box is extremely user friendly, however our clients have been having a hard time adjusting and understanding Box."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"My biggest problem with Box.net is the lack of a free desktop syncing feature."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"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

"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."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"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."
"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."
