"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"The interface is very good."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"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 collaboration of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"It's more open than Microsoft and easy to use."
"Being able to back up our data on Google Drive is a critical and valuable feature for our customers. It is just in sync. Imagine you change a file on the desktop, and it gets updated directly to your Google Drive. Our laptop is completely in sync with Google Drive. Google Meet, Google Sheets, and Google Docs are also amazing products. They're very versatile and easy to use as compared to Office 365. I am using Google Sheets and Google Docs, which first save the work on my memory or ROM, and then on my RAM. It gives me better productivity through Google Sheets and Google Docs."
"Google Workspace is an excellent tool for communicating with people, which allows users to collaborate and edit files simultaneously."
"There are several online forums and a lot of support materials online."
"The most valuable part of G Suite is the integration among all of the components. It's also highly reliable because it's always available. And G Suite's ability to collaborate on all the standard office tools has no rival. It's amazing because you can work seamlessly with any of your colleagues on the same document."
"The solution is stable."
"Convenient to share and collaborate documents."
"It is a stable platform. It is very easy to use, and most importantly, it is very easy to administer. It also gets up and running quite easily."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"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."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one. That was my recent experience. They might have a bulk delete, but I could not find that option. If you want to delete something, you have to go to each and every file and delete it."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"If you use a name with a special character like a slash in the folder, it will crash the migration, with no warning. There is no pre-warning or anything to tell you that if you use characters in a file name that it will crash the migration."
"The performance speed could be improved when the internet connection is slow."
"Google needs to improve its support."
"The UI could be simplified and made more user friendly."
"The user interface, especially on Google Drive, could be better."
"Google Workspace has limitations as a document or file management system. Without a workspace account, manual actions are required to perform tasks such as managing groups of people. Additionally, managing permissions individually is a time-consuming and inefficient process. It's difficult to articulate, but the process is not very streamlined."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly and improve its tools and features."
"Not all tools are available in the one facility."
