User-friendly, easy to navigate, and has helpful support
We are a customer and end-user. We're using the latest version of the solution at this point. My own preference is to have one system for sharing files so that everybody's on the same page. They do have governance, which we didn't implement. However, it would be important to keep retention consistent. I did work at one point with the sales rep, and they were very informative. They helped us understand what all the different options we had for different Box products. The governance would also be a really good thing to implement along with just the enterprise version of Box. I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Box is very simple and effective, so I prefer Box."
"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
 

Cons

"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"It could be cheaper."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
