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."
"Customer Service: Great! Technical Support: Technical support people really know their stuff, Great service."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"File/Folder collaboration has allowed our users to work together, eliminate silos and reduce unnecessary email."
"They're the most compliant company we've ever encountered."
"The sharing feature, with its various permission settings, such as viewing or uploading, is convenient and helpful."
"We use Box for collaboration with files or folders, and our use is mostly for collaboration, especially on the documentation."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"Box is extremely user friendly, however our clients have been having a hard time adjusting and understanding Box."
"Sometimes, their website doesn't work properly."
"The security settings are such that if I have a folder with subfolders several levels deep, whatever security setting I have for the parent folder gets inherited at all the subfolders. This has been limiting."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"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."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"A business account has a minimum of three users. If you are more than three people in-house, go for the Enterprise version. All the external users are free of charge."
"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."
