Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The interface is very good."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"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 is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"I like the ease of use."
"The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management."
"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."
"An advantage is integration with your IP directory."
"It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn."
"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."
"The product can be integrated with different solutions."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"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’)."
"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."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The product could improve its scalability."
"Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution."
"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find."
"The ease of use should be addressed."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
"The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made."
