Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is a very user-friendly product.""The solution is scalable.""Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect.""File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution.""Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists.""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 most valuable feature of Box is security."

"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels.""Provides easy access to our data.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily.""Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."

Cons
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times.""If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great.""Better integration with other solutions is needed.""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.""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.""Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved.""It could be cheaper."

More Box Cons →

"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
  • "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."
  • "A business account has a minimum of three users. If you are more than three people in-house, go for the Enterprise version. All the external users are free of charge."
  • "Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
  • "I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
  • "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."
