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…

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."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"We've never had a penetration. We've never had a security issue that their support didn't solve. We love their audit trail. We can know exactly when a collaborator opens. We love how you can define a collaborator."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"I like the ease of use."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The price must be lowered."
"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."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."

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