Featured Reviews

Jeremey Kenney - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.
