Team collaboration has improved through shared access and real-time synchronization
I find the synchronization feature most valuable in Box. When I use multiple devices, it syncs them together and gives excellent results. I can assess the benefits of Box's file sharing. Box's integration with third-party apps is valuable, especially with Outlook. Box has helped my team's productivity by being very helpful with team collaboration when we are sharing certain shared documents between us. I mostly value Box's automation capabilities. They have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team. This gives us a shared workspace to work together on the same document or the same ideas. Box's security features have helped my organization meet compliance needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Awesome solution that works on many devices."
"Customer Service: Great! Technical Support: Technical support people really know their stuff, Great service."
"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."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves, because we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate, and it is also pretty easy to use and is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The upload speed needs improvement."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"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."
"I wish the search was faster, like a google search."
"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"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."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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."
