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.

Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

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."
"For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine."
"Most amazingly its integration with Office 365 (online) is one of the best features it has other than integrating with other apps like Salesforce, etc."
"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"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 ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"Customer service is top notch with having a dedicated customer success manager assigned to the account."
"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."
"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable, and everything works together really well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing."
 

Cons

"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"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."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"There are still some management features I would like to see improved, giving more control to IT."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
"Right now, we don't have any monitoring."
 

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."
"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."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"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."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
