Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The collaboration of the solution is good.""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.""The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint.""File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions.""It is really easy to load files to and from this solution.""You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."

"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive.""The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."

Cons
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component.""The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents.""The upload speed needs improvement.""I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level.""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook.""Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services.""They could integrate better with other platforms."

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."
