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,…

Improving data accessibility and security through enhanced interface design
In my current role, we use Mobius to capture data. We are partnered with the government, and the Mobius app is used to ensure accurate data capture. We use it alongside Salesforce to document our clients' entire process as they go through programs, capturing details of their work journey Mobius…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"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."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"Box is very simple and effective, so I prefer Box."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
 

Cons

"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"It could be cheaper."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"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."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
