Pros
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer.""I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines.""It is really easy to load files to and from this solution.""Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution.""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.""Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."

"The most valuable features of the N-able Passportal are the password rotations, and the ability to be able to store passwords. You can have it on your phone or your desktop. You're not required to have it only on your desktop computer.""The most valuable feature of the N-able Passportal is its functionality. You can store your passwords safely, and not just anyone can gain access to them. If you have an onsite system, it can change the password for you on a daily basis. This is a great benefit because you don't have to worry about if the account's breached tomorrow, your pass is going to be changed. It's perfect."

Cons
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services.""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""They could integrate better with other platforms.""The solution's data security should be improved.""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.""Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage.""One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component.""Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."

"Sometimes accessing the solution is a bit slow, but that could be due to conditions at many different points. However, some issues that do arise are outside of our control.""N-able Passportal can improve the stability because sometimes I can't log in. I had some issues a couple of months ago where I couldn't log in and that was problematic."

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."

  • "The price of N-able Passportal is approximately $15 for the license."
