Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Nasuni, Google and others in Cloud Storage."The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"It is really easy to load files to and from 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."
"The solution is scalable."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better."
"In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."
"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"It could be cheaper."
"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."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface."
"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints."
"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."
