A stable and inexpensive solution that can be used to share files with external clients securely

Streamlines document management and enhances collaboration through its robust features and intuitive interface
It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework. It employs document management methodologies. The personalization and customization capabilities of Oracle Content Management system are highly praised by customers. When they receive responses using this solution, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Customers love the ability to customize and personalize Oracle products to suit their needs. Integrating three Oracle products into one seamless solution enhances the user experience, making it easier for end-users to engage without being aware of the individual products involved. They simply interact with the solution, streamlining their digital processes. One significant challenge that our customers faced before implementing Oracle Content Management was effectively managing a large volume of documents. They struggled with centralizing document storage and organization. However, Oracle Content Management provided a solution by centralizing document management, making it easier and more efficient to handle. The user experience, especially in terms of simplicity and design of the Oracle Content Management interface, was a priority. I utilized the Oracle Content Management API for this purpose, ensuring seamless integration with other solutions. We consolidated three solutions into one user interface through the Oracle portal, which incorporated BPM and DPM for task management. This unified interface provided a streamlined experience for customers, rather than directly interacting with the Oracle Content Management interface. Our main challenge in implementing this was using ADF from Oracle. At the time, there was a scarcity of programmers skilled in the ADF framework in Brazil, necessitating in-house training for our team of developers to successfully execute the integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"The sharing feature, with its various permission settings, such as viewing or uploading, is convenient and helpful."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."
"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
 

Cons

"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"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’)."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"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."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"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."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
 

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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
