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…

Team collaboration has improved through shared access and real-time synchronization
I find the synchronization feature most valuable in Box. When I use multiple devices, it syncs them together and gives excellent results. I can assess the benefits of Box's file sharing. Box's integration with third-party apps is valuable, especially with Outlook. Box has helped my team's productivity by being very helpful with team collaboration when we are sharing certain shared documents between us. I mostly value Box's automation capabilities. They have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team. This gives us a shared workspace to work together on the same document or the same ideas. Box's security features have helped my organization meet compliance needs.

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."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward."
"Box had a very easy-to-use search feature and a good user interface on its website, which was faster and better than SharePoint."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"Box is very simple and effective, so I prefer Box."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"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."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"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."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"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’)."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"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."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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 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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."

What do you like most about Box?
The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Box?
I found the pricing reasonable because when I was working for an IBM partner, Box was free for us. We did not go to payment and other matters like this.
What needs improvement with Box?
I believe Box has a lot of features that put it in a good rank among the file-sharing apps. I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see...
