I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see who is accessing the document now and see my movements across the document or the file we are sharing together. I would generally recommend Box to others. I was a user of Box, a good user, and I was an appreciated user. My review rating for Box is 9.5.

Sometimes people get confused. They asked a couple of users who would want to retrieve a file's older version because whatever they worked on, they lost it, and then their version control is handy. You have to ensure it's safe or that part of it complies. It is pre-approved, especially with clinical trial companies. Box has matched all those parameters. We use multifactor authentication to authenticate. We use a tool called Ping, which integrates smoothly with Box. In terms of authentication and security, Box is pretty sensitive. Box is pretty good. We use DocuSign quite often, and it integrates well with DocuSign. Calling those APIs and getting different reports out of the Box are very limited. The market is under the control of Microsoft. So, when it comes to Microsoft products, Box has the best integration. It's pretty decent, except for the permissions issue, which means that if a user has permission at the top-level folder, they would have permission at the lower folders. We are switching from Box to SharePoint. Box has some issues with permissions that we don't see in SharePoint. Certain things about Box and SharePoint are perfect. It depends on what your organization needs. SharePoint comes along with the Office 365 package. Box is a content management tool. Any company looking for a content management tool and who does not have things in place, like all of them are moving to the cloud. Box gives good competition to SharePoint. We need to store content, organize content, and share it externally and internally. It depends on the company's requirements and the features they're looking for. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
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.
Box is an online cloud platform, and I am using its latest version. The solution is on par with ShareFile and inexpensive. Overall, I rate Box ten out of ten.

We are a customer and end-user. We're using the latest version of the solution at this point. My own preference is to have one system for sharing files so that everybody's on the same page. They do have governance, which we didn't implement. However, it would be important to keep retention consistent. I did work at one point with the sales rep, and they were very informative. They helped us understand what all the different options we had for different Box products. The governance would also be a really good thing to implement along with just the enterprise version of Box. I would rate the solution ten out of ten.
I think the vision of the leadership in the company is amazing. More importantly it's not hackable and it's a secure, easy-to-use platform. And that's what people really want. I would rate Box a ten out of ten.

We like this solution, and we prefer to work with the Box consulting team. Basically, for a large company, we would recommend that people work with their professional services just to get things set up quickly and completely. It is possible to do this on your own, but it is faster if you have help from Box. Their pro services are very good. I would rate Box an eight out of ten. Eight is about as good as somebody is going to get. There is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable to make it a ten.
On a scale of one to ten, I'd rank Box a 10. And I rank their customer service a 9.5. Because they're not as good as GravityZone, but they're better than anybody else out there.

It's a good tool for everything. It's very similar to SharePoint. I would recommend Box if you are going off-site to meet clients, for mobility purposes. If not, then I would suggest SharePoint. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Box a rating of eight.

My advice to anybody who is considering this type of solution is to first formulate the use case. Box has certain limitations, but it is very plain and easy to use. If you need collaboration in terms of document management then it provides a simple interface that offers differing levels of granularity in terms of access control. This is a good solution but it does not address all of the use cases for a content management system. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Box is a Modern Content Management Platform for companies of all sizes and industries. The difference that Box brings is that it offers the security and controls admins need with the sharing and collaboration capabilities end users want. Box has made it easier for people to securely share ideas, collaborate and get work done faster. Today, more than 62,000 businesses, including 59% of the Fortune 500, trust Box to manage content in the cloud.
The Box platform provides HIPAA, FINRA, FedRAMP,...
