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…

Used for data storage and data collaboration, but its data security could be improved
If I have restricted access within an organization by keeping the data in Box, there are other applications through which I can barge into the data. If anyone wants to keep a file restricted to four people, I can access it because it's available in the cloud. I can directly access the file and pull in the data by entering the file's name. Someone from outside the organization can't access it. However, someone from within the organization who is not supposed to access the data can access it, provided it is in Box. Box is almost like a folder structure outside your system. The solution uses the cloud, and you don't need any separate storage in your system. Even if your system crashes down, the data will be saved. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

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 a very user-friendly product."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The solution is scalable."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"The interface is very good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"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."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"The price must be lowered."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
