Allows you to upload and download files quickly but lacks integration with Office 365
For enterprise users, the data is in a local repository. We use it for files for the end user process. This is a cloud solution. In my current organization, we have over 10,000 people using this solution. I use it very extensively. Users these days are working remotely You can upload your bin,…

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. It provides a lot of other alternatives."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"I like the ease of use."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"The interface is very good."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
 

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’)."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The price must be lowered."
"It could be cheaper."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"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."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
 

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!"
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"My organization pays for the license."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"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."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
