Featured Reviews

Parthasarathy Chellapillai - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for data storage and data collaboration, but its data security could be improved
If I have restricted access within an organization by keeping the data in Box, there are other applications through which I can barge into the data. If anyone wants to keep a file restricted to four people, I can access it because it's available in the cloud. I can directly access the file and pull in the data by entering the file's name. Someone from outside the organization can't access it. However, someone from within the organization who is not supposed to access the data can access it, provided it is in Box. Box is almost like a folder structure outside your system. The solution uses the cloud, and you don't need any separate storage in your system. Even if your system crashes down, the data will be saved. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves efficiency and offers reliability along with good flexibility
I have used Oracle in different places, especially in the IT industry, for several years since 2009. I have been in the IT industry for a long period of time. I have had a chance to interact with many systems, and I have been in touch with several programming languages, including the ones in Oracle. As a developer, I use Oracle Content Management as an enterprise tool to enable development. The solution's integration capabilities are doing very well because I work with many of them, and its APIs are flexible, good, and secure. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

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 system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"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’)."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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 tool's licensing part is expensive."
