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."
"The word Box has become a verb at Morehouse College."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"File sharing for projects and other unique activities have been greatly enhanced."
"Some units have migrated their content and processes from on premises storage to Box, saving money and time, and putting the power of collaboration into the hands of the users instead of requiring admin intervention."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"I like the ease of use."
"The beauty of Box is that you don't need to download the document on your computer to edit it and then upload it again, because you can edit the content while the document is in the cloud."
 

Cons

"There could be better web documentation for the solution."
"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."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"Box is extremely user friendly, however our clients have been having a hard time adjusting and understanding Box."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"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."
"There are still some management features I would like to see improved, giving more control to IT."
"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 don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution was very inexpensive in comparison with the other vendors."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
