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.

Built-in integrations increase efficiency but cluster support requires improvement
On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments. Multiple instances need to be set up and configured. In the cloud environment, improvements are ongoing. The fallback and benefit assessment of the product suggest a need for a rating of seven or eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is very good."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"It could be cheaper."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"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’)."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"I recommend doing the trial first, because it's not cheap ware. It's not overly expensive, but it's not cheap ware, and enterprise has a minimum number of users."
"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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