Facilitates monitoring and control of our repositories, but would benefit from the inclusion of workflows
Our primary use case for this solution is secure file sharing All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure. The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after…

Used for data storage and data collaboration, but its data security could be improved
If I have restricted access within an organization by keeping the data in Box, there are other applications through which I can barge into the data. If anyone wants to keep a file restricted to four people, I can access it because it's available in the cloud. I can directly access the file and pull in the data by entering the file's name. Someone from outside the organization can't access it. However, someone from within the organization who is not supposed to access the data can access it, provided it is in Box. Box is almost like a folder structure outside your system. The solution uses the cloud, and you don't need any separate storage in your system. Even if your system crashes down, the data will be saved. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"The sharing feature, with its various permission settings, such as viewing or uploading, is convenient and helpful."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The price must be lowered."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"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’)."
"It could be cheaper."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"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."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"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."
"My organization pays for the license."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"There's a free version that allows you to use it with almost full-feature access. Even in the free version, it gives you all you need."
