Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is scalable.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint.""File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution.""The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box.""I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines.""It is a very user-friendly product.""Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."

Cons
"The integration with other products should be improved.""Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices.""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 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.""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.""It could be cheaper.""Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’).""The solution's data security should be improved."

More Box Cons →

"The response time for read requests can be improved.""InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."

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."
  • More Box Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
  • "The best features come included without any additional cost."
