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

"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."
"The ease of using Box on multi-platforms, including my phone and tablet, along with the collaboration features means I've been able to use it with my family (including my non-tech-savvy parents) for simple sharing, as well as with colleagues for team collaboration."
"The features I have found to be most helpful over other cloud storage platforms are: Collaboration - just not that it exists, but it is easy and user friendly, allowing data that is necessary to be worked on to be brought to the surface; Security - focus on compliance, encryption, enterprise grade management; 3rd Party Integrations - allowing for Box to truly be a platform to be used with other software."
"They're the most compliant company we've ever encountered."
"File/Folder collaboration has allowed our users to work together, eliminate silos and reduce unnecessary email."
"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."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"I would suggest you strongly consider CA View and Deliver; take a big look at it, it's straightforward."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution's data security should be improved."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"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."
"It could be cheaper."
"I wish the search was faster, like a google search."
"The costs in accessing the advanced features of the platform are quite high to small users."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"My organization pays for the license."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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."
"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."
