Featured Reviews

Manager, Technology & Integration at GlobalMac IT
Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly, and you can use it on your own, on an iPad, or on your mobile phones whenever you wish to."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"They're the most compliant company we've ever encountered."
"The interface is very good."
"Awesome solution that works on many devices."
"The sharing feature, with its various permission settings, such as viewing or uploading, is convenient and helpful."
"File/Folder collaboration has allowed our users to work together, eliminate silos and reduce unnecessary email."
"Most of the time, they are running a free 50GB for life promotion, which is a pretty good deal."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
 

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’)."
"Box is extremely user friendly, however our clients have been having a hard time adjusting and understanding Box."
"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."
"Box Sync is still a bit buggy and it is difficult to get used to not being able to organize your view of folders as it is determined by the owner of the folder."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"The Search functionality needs to be more robust and behave like Google Search."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"The biggest friction point I have encountered with Box is mainly the pricing part; I think five dollars for this platform is not necessarily justified."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"The mobile app could be better."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"My organization pays for the license."
"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."
"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."
"Box's pricing is excellent."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
