Structured cloud storage has streamlined document collaboration and automated workflows
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. While I have used it for integrating and using it as a cloud platform, I have not encountered any significant negative aspects. A few times, I might have faced performance issues, but I am uncertain whether that was due to the automation platform or Box itself. Overall, the only thing I could mention is that it can take a little time to understand how the integration works with Box; setup and figuring out what can and cannot be done might take some time, but other than that, I do not think anything else bothered me. One thing I would want Box to introduce to improve the platform and make it stand out even more would be incorporating AI. For example, the only way to identify documents shared in Box currently is by their names, and if those names are not precise, I can get confused. If Box had an AI feature to summarize and identify documents based on their contents, it would significantly enhance usability. AI is essential for making work easier, so that would be an excellent addition to the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"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."
"Most of the time, they are running a free 50GB for life promotion, which is a pretty good deal."
"Awesome solution that works on many devices."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the set of security options that can be set when sharing files with a group."
"File and Folder sharing in the organization and outside of it."
"Customer service is top notch with having a dedicated customer success manager assigned to the account."
"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."
"Our accounts department's invoicing process has been optimized and this has helped us in saving a lot of time."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
 

Cons

"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"The Arabic language text search ability needs to be improved."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
 

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."
"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."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"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."
"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."
"My organization pays for the license."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
