An easy-to-setup solution with good scalability
We used the solution for storing digital assets Before implementing Acquia DAM, our organization had all its digital assets spread across various storage systems. We can now centralize all of them within a single infrastructure component, enabling easier discovery, versioning, and utilization of…

Structured cloud storage has streamlined document collaboration and automated workflows
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Box is mainly the pricing part; I think five dollars for this platform is not necessarily justified. While I have used it for integrating and using it as a cloud platform, I have not encountered any significant negative aspects. A few times, I might have faced performance issues, but I am uncertain whether that was due to the automation platform or Box itself. Overall, the only thing I could mention is that it can take a little time to understand how the integration works with Box; setup and figuring out what can and cannot be done might take some time, but other than that, I do not think anything else bothered me. One thing I would want Box to introduce to improve the platform and make it stand out even more would be incorporating AI. For example, the only way to identify documents shared in Box currently is by their names, and if those names are not precise, I can get confused. If Box had an AI feature to summarize and identify documents based on their contents, it would significantly enhance usability. AI is essential for making work easier, so that would be an excellent addition to the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"I like the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"Customer service is top notch with having a dedicated customer success manager assigned to the account."
"It is a very user-friendly product; the solution is stable and, for me, it's very easy to navigate whether I'm in my email, Smartsheet, or SLAM so that I can get my documents, make changes, and load them back without any complexity."
"For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
 

Cons

"There could be better web documentation for the solution."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"I would like to see the below additional features: Disposition features, record management and retention policies in this application."
"Box Sync is still a bit buggy and it is difficult to get used to not being able to organize your view of folders as it is determined by the owner of the folder."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one."
"I truly believe that Box should have a box consulting division which would really enable customers who do not necessarily want to work with ISVs."
"I wish the search was faster, like a google search."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution was very inexpensive in comparison with the other vendors."
"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."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
