Facilitates monitoring and control of our repositories, but would benefit from the inclusion of workflows
Our primary use case for this solution is secure file sharing All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure. The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after…

Allows you to upload and download files quickly but lacks integration with Office 365
For enterprise users, the data is in a local repository. We use it for files for the end user process. This is a cloud solution. In my current organization, we have over 10,000 people using this solution. I use it very extensively. Users these days are working remotely You can upload your bin,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"Box is very simple and effective, so I prefer Box."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"I recommend doing the trial first, because it's not cheap ware. It's not overly expensive, but it's not cheap ware, and enterprise has a minimum number of users."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"It could be cheaper."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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 pricing may seem steep at first, but delve into the features and you'll soon realize it is incredible value for what you get."
"My organization pays for the license."
