"From a security point of view, Google will alert you if anything strange is happening. They will flag it for you so you are aware."
"The solution is stable."
"Google integrates well with our system. G Suite has an open API, so you can connect any open system with Google capable of working with API. This is the main reason we use it."

"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."

"It could be cheaper."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one. That was my recent experience. They might have a bulk delete, but I could not find that option. If you want to delete something, you have to go to each and every file and delete it."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"Improvements to G Suite would be the ability to collaborate more easily and better quality video compression in Google Meet."

"There's a bit of a learning curve."
"When I compare with Office 365, G Suite has fewer features."
