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

"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 sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"File/Folder collaboration has allowed our users to work together, eliminate silos and reduce unnecessary email."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine."
"Most of the time, they are running a free 50GB for life promotion, which is a pretty good deal."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"Customer Service: Great! Technical Support: Technical support people really know their stuff, Great service."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"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’)."
"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."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"I would like to see the below additional features: Disposition features, record management and retention policies in this application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"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."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
