| Senior Projects Manager at Tech-hub | 4.5 | I highly recommend Box for its excellent synchronization, collaboration, and automation, saving time and ensuring compliance. It's easy to use. My main desire is for more real-time online collaboration features. |
| Regional account manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I use Box for secure external data sharing, finding it simple, effective, and very stable. While I appreciate its ease of setup and value, I hope for increased capacity and encryption in the future. I rate it 9/10. |
| Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I primarily used Box for stable storage, appreciating its easy search and good UI over SharePoint. While installation was tricky and collaborative editing challenging, it saved time for my small firm, earning an 8/10 rating. |
| Program Administrator at Flextronics | 3.0 | I use Box for data storage and collaboration, finding its setup easy and external security good. However, internal security is weak (insiders bypass restrictions), and deleted data isn't recoverable. Stability is average; I rate it 6/10. |
| Technical Adviser at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 3.0 | I use Box for document sharing and collaboration, valuing its user-friendly interface and versatile sharing permissions. However, its permission system, costly API call limits, and slow support are significant drawbacks, prompting a transition to SharePoint. |
| Software developer at TAIGLE LLC | 3.5 | I use Box for document storage and management, valuing its controlled access and e-signature features. It's stable, scalable, and easy to set up, but I believe the price should be lowered. |
| Medical Director at University OH Partners | 5.0 | I find Box excellent for secure client file sharing and collaboration. Its security is most valuable, though real-time editing needs improvement. Box is stable, scalable, easy to set up, and offers great value, earning a 10/10. |
| Senior Applications Analyst at a real estate/law firm with 5,001-10,000 employees | 5.0 | I rate Box 10/10. I find it user-friendly, stable, and secure, integrating well with Smartsheet. Though general integration could improve and versioning has a learning curve, I value its effectiveness and support. |
