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

"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"With us being an all Mac managed service provider, we find that the integration Box - Intelligent Content Management has with Finder is really good with the syncing, and it is probably one of the better file-sharing solutions when it comes to that, which is the big reason why we suggest it out to our clients."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the set of security options that can be set when sharing files with a group."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"Excellent service."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
 

Cons

"I truly believe that Box should have a box consulting division which would really enable customers who do not necessarily want to work with ISVs."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"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."
"If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one."
"Search function remove layers."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"The pricing may seem steep at first, but delve into the features and you'll soon realize it is incredible value for what you get."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
