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.
