Features Comparison

Both HIVO and Box offer a range of features that can help you manage your digital assets. However, HIVO offers some unique features that are not available with Box. For example, HIVO allows you to manage your digital assets across multiple platforms, including social media, email, and websites. This makes it easier to track your assets and ensure that they are being used effectively.

HIVO also offers advanced search functionality, which can help you quickly locate specific assets based on keywords or other criteria. This can save you time and effort when searching for specific files. A Box alternative like HIVO, on the other hand, offers a more streamlined approach to digital asset management. It focuses primarily on file storage and sharing, making it a good choice for businesses that need a simple and easy-to-use solution.

Functionality

When it comes to overall functionality, HIVO and Box are both highly capable digital asset management solutions. However, HIVO's focus on cross-platform management, advanced metadata management and powerful search functionality makes it a more robust and versatile solution overall as a box alternative.

Box is more streamlined and focused primarily on cloud file storage and sharing. While this may be sufficient for some small businesses, others may find that HIVO's more advanced features are necessary to meet their specific needs at scale.

"   Adopting the HIVO DAM platform has been a true benefit for our organisation. The process of categorising, storing and sharing assets through HIVO has created efficiencies and time savings for staff, and ensures the quality of our assets. An added bonus is the streamlined creator upload option – this has saved us so much time when compared to our previous processes.   "

"   The ability to talk to our marketing team in real time is invaluable. Rather than going back and forth via email; the ability to mark and tag our creative team in posts on artwork, videos and documents allows us to quickly turnaround content and any marketing collateral we need.   "

"   Working with HIVO allowed us to streamline a rapidly growing house of brands under one roof and allow collaboration and visibility from management and marketing through to the sales and field team. We swiftly onboarded and created customised task management for creating and approving artwork to suit our internal processes. The proximity of workflow to assets is crucial for fast and on-brand distribution.  "
