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 extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"Awesome solution that works on many devices."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"File and Folder sharing in the organization and outside of it."
"They're the most compliant company we've ever encountered."
"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"Excellent service."
 

Cons

"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"There are still some management features I would like to see improved, giving more control to IT."
"My biggest problem with Box.net is the lack of a free desktop syncing feature."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Box?
