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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"Box's automation capabilities have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team."
"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"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."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
 

Cons

"The upload speed needs improvement."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The price must be lowered."
"I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see who is accessing the document now and see my movements across the document or the file we are sharing together."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"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

"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"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."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
