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.

Reliable platform that integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems

The product integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems in the telecom sector. Our partners manage services, including detailed integration and migration-related operations. The platform upholds the uptime and reliability of our business applications. We classify our systems into different tiers, ranging from machine-critical to business-critical, and FusionStorage helps us run all the services. It delivers a remarkable uptime of 99.9%. With our expectations for continuous service availability, we are operating 24/7. In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."

"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."

"Box's automation capabilities have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team."

"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."

"The interface is very good."

"The most valuable feature of Box is security."

"We use Box as a cloud-based storage service for our employees to share documents, such as presentations, between people, and some of our customers have many gigabytes in files and we set up shared access to them using Box."

More Box pros

"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."

"This is a good solution and we haven't had any issues with it."

"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use."

"Provides easy access to our data."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."

"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."

"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."

"It is a stable solution."

Cons

"The security settings are such that if I have a folder with subfolders several levels deep, whatever security setting I have for the parent folder gets inherited at all the subfolders. This has been limiting."

"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."

"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."

"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."

"It could be cheaper."

"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."

"I would like to see the below additional features: Disposition features, record management and retention policies in this application."

"They could integrate better with other platforms."

More Box cons

"The only thing I really know about the initial setup is that currently the installation is not that straightforward."

"I'd like to see better product maturity including their branding on the cloud environment. Their cloud services are not up to that of AWS, Azure or Oracle cloud platforms."

"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."

"Their cloud services could be improved."

"The solution’s support could be improved."

"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"My organization pays for the license."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Box pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."

"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
