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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"They're the most compliant company we've ever encountered."
"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."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"The editable features and upgrading capabilities are great."
"With us being an all Mac managed service provider, we find that the integration Box - Intelligent Content Management has with Finder is really good with the syncing, and it is probably one of the better file-sharing solutions when it comes to that, which is the big reason why we suggest it out to our clients."
"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."
"I want improvement in the AI response, and since we are in the trial stage and still checking it, the experience with Box AI has not been entirely positive so far."
"I would like to see the below additional features: Disposition features, record management and retention policies in this application."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"Search function remove layers."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"I see significant room for improvement with Box - Intelligent Content Management. Right-to-left functionality in Hebrew and Arabic is not working, and the GUI does not work with different languages."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"Iron Mountain Iron Cloud is expensive."
