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.

Easy to store information and maintan workflow but we use QlikView for reporting because built in reporting is poor.
Workflow Reorganized the workflow for purchase invoice. My customer uses version 6, I haven't seen the new one. If it hasn't yet been upgraded in the new version, I feel that the interface can be improved to be more windows like. Since 2008 We didn't have any deployment issues. While version 5…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is very good."
"The beauty of Box is that you don't need to download the document on your computer to edit it and then upload it again, because you can edit the content while the document is in the cloud."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."
"Most amazingly its integration with Office 365 (online) is one of the best features it has other than integrating with other apps like Salesforce, etc."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"File and Folder sharing in the organization and outside of it."
"We didn't experience any issues with the initial setup, it was easy."
 

Cons

"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"I recommend doing the trial first, because it's not cheap ware. It's not overly expensive, but it's not cheap ware, and enterprise has a minimum number of users."
"The Search functionality needs to be more robust and behave like Google Search."
"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."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"Customer Service: 5/10. The supplier is slow to answer but now it's better with a self employed consultant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"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."
"My organization pays for the license."
"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."
