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…

Allows you to upload and download files quickly but lacks integration with Office 365
For enterprise users, the data is in a local repository. We use it for files for the end user process. This is a cloud solution. In my current organization, we have over 10,000 people using this solution. I use it very extensively. Users these days are working remotely You can upload your bin,…

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."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"The interface is very good."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"It could be cheaper."
"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’)."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"The price must be lowered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"My organization pays for the license."
"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."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
