Featured Reviews

Jeremey Kenney - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Easy to store information and maintan workflow but we use QlikView for reporting because built in reporting is poor.
Workflow Reorganized the workflow for purchase invoice. My customer uses version 6, I haven't seen the new one. If it hasn't yet been upgraded in the new version, I feel that the interface can be improved to be more windows like. Since 2008 We didn't have any deployment issues. While version 5…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to securely invite, share folders, do version control, and comment on files so quickly and easily without using unsecure large email attachments is a major productivity gain."
"The interface is very good."
"Some units have migrated their content and processes from on premises storage to Box, saving money and time, and putting the power of collaboration into the hands of the users instead of requiring admin intervention."
"The features I have found to be most helpful over other cloud storage platforms are: Collaboration - just not that it exists, but it is easy and user friendly, allowing data that is necessary to be worked on to be brought to the surface; Security - focus on compliance, encryption, enterprise grade management; 3rd Party Integrations - allowing for Box to truly be a platform to be used with other software."
"The best features of Box for me include the structured file organizing, which is the most important part I found, and apart from that, secure sharing and integration with automation platforms, along with its smooth integration and usage in automations, is a very big plus for me."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"Our employees can access content from anywhere, no-vpn, no special apps, no extra authentications."
"We didn't experience any issues with the initial setup, it was easy."
 

Cons

"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"My biggest problem with Box.net is the lack of a free desktop syncing feature."
"Integrations, the more integrations the better. Office + Outlook are great but we need more like it."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"Search function remove layers."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The price must be lowered."
"Customer Service: 5/10. The supplier is slow to answer but now it's better with a self employed consultant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
