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

"It is a very user-friendly product; the solution is stable and, for me, it's very easy to navigate whether I'm in my email, Smartsheet, or SLAM so that I can get my documents, make changes, and load them back without any complexity."
"The word Box has become a verb at Morehouse College."
"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."
"For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the set of security options that can be set when sharing files with a group."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"Box - Intelligent Content Management stands out compared to most of the other platforms we have used, purely from the security standpoint."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"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."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"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."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"Excellent service."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
 

Cons

"I see significant room for improvement with Box - Intelligent Content Management. Right-to-left functionality in Hebrew and Arabic is not working, and the GUI does not work with different languages."
"My biggest problem with Box.net is the lack of a free desktop syncing feature."
"The price must be lowered."
"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"I recommend doing the trial first, because it's not cheap ware. It's not overly expensive, but it's not cheap ware, and enterprise has a minimum number of users."
"Box - Intelligent Content Management could improve by making the interface more intuitive for new users and simplifying some advanced settings."
"One aspect of Box - Intelligent Content Management that could be improved is the search functionality, which can occasionally be slow or less intuitive when locating specific files with large repositories."
"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"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

"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"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."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
