Manager, Technology & Integration at GlobalMac IT
Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

Helps us secure viewing of customer accounts; scalability streamlines production of large reports
You can control who views what, as far as security is concerned, in viewing customer accounts. I'm not sure if that was available in the product at the beginning, but we use it extensively now. Also expandability. It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"The sharing feature, with its various permission settings, such as viewing or uploading, is convenient and helpful."
"The best features of Box for me include the structured file organizing, which is the most important part I found, and apart from that, secure sharing and integration with automation platforms, along with its smooth integration and usage in automations, is a very big plus for me."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"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."
"For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along."
"We standardized our CIS log processing with CA View. We support a whole bunch of LPARs, about 80 or so. When we go to an LPAR, we know just where the CIS log is, it's in CA View, and we know how to get to it, we don't have to search around for it."
"I would suggest you strongly consider CA View and Deliver; take a big look at it, it's straightforward."
 

Cons

"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"I wish the search was faster, like a google search."
"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’)."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"There was one customer we were trying convert over, and it was complicated. There were retention criteria which seemed a little more limited than with some of the other products."
"I believe they do probably have a GUI interface for the laptop, so you can just use the interface instead of the mainframe ISPF interface. I think that's already available but, if not, that would be my only issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Box's pricing is excellent."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"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."
"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"It requires other pieces of CA software and license keys, thing like that. That's one thing to keep in mind. It requires CA Common Services in order to actually be licensed to run on LPAR."
