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.

A SaaS solution that improves efficiency and helps to save time
The tool helps with hidden cloud storage. We can build security practices according to our needs. It is reactive rather than proactive.  The solution must conduct extensive research, build a product based on compression and OCR techniques, and improve scalability.  I have been using the product…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution is scalable."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"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."
"We've never had a penetration. We've never had a security issue that their support didn't solve. We love their audit trail. We can know exactly when a collaborator opens. We love how you can define a collaborator."
"The editable features and upgrading capabilities are great."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"The tool helps with hidden cloud storage. We can build security practices according to our needs. It is reactive rather than proactive."
 

Cons

"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."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"Technical support has some room for improvement, but nothing insurmountable."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"I wish the search was faster, like a google search."
"I truly believe that Box should have a box consulting division which would really enable customers who do not necessarily want to work with ISVs."
"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 solution must conduct extensive research, build a product based on compression and OCR techniques, and improve scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Box's pricing is excellent."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"My organization pays for the license."
"Iron Mountain Iron Cloud is expensive."
