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,…

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability

We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

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."

"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 very simple and effective, so I prefer Box."

"The interface is very good."

"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."

"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."

"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."

"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."

More Box pros

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."

"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."

Cons

"They could integrate better with other platforms."

"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."

"The price must be lowered."

"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."

"The solution's data security should be improved."

"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."

"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."

"Better integration with other solutions is needed."

More Box cons

"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
