You can assign multiple tasks to different people on the same document, which works seamlessly
One drawback is its permissions system, which has caused issues prompting our transition to SharePoint. The reporting functionality could be improved; currently, they utilize Excel for reporting purposes. Making API calls is challenging because API calls are necessary when moving data from Box to SharePoint. Payment is required beyond a certain threshold of API calls per user, which has been quite difficult. The support could be enhanced during the transition from Box to SharePoint. Box's pricing model is based on the number of API calls, with a cap applicable to all enterprises. This limitation has been an issue. There could be better reporting systems. For example, if something gets deleted, I need to go to the user activity to check who did it. Having a more efficient way to retrieve reports would be beneficial.

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
