Allows you to upload and download files quickly but lacks integration with Office 365
For enterprise users, the data is in a local repository. We use it for files for the end user process. This is a cloud solution. In my current organization, we have over 10,000 people using this solution. I use it very extensively. Users these days are working remotely You can upload your bin,…
Naved Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer

Pros

"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"The tool helps with hidden cloud storage. We can build security practices according to our needs. It is reactive rather than proactive."
 

Cons

"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"The price must be lowered."
"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 solution must conduct extensive research, build a product based on compression and OCR techniques, and improve scalability."
 

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."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"My organization pays for the license."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"I have to pay for Box. It could be a little cheaper. On a scale from one to ten, I would give the pricing a five."
"Iron Mountain Iron Cloud is expensive."
