We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution.""File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution.""Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities.""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.""You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives.""The most valuable feature of Box is security.""The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization.""I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."

"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process.""For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."

Cons
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage.""They could integrate better with other platforms.""One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component.""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""It could be cheaper.""If you want to delete something in Box, you have to do it manually, one by one. That was my recent experience. They might have a bulk delete, but I could not find that option. If you want to delete something, you have to go to each and every file and delete it.""The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook.""The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."

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."
  • "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."
  • "I'm in Higher Ed, so we purchase through Internet2-Net+. I absolutely recommend going that route for Higher Ed customers."
  • "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."
  • "Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
  • "I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
  • "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."

  • "While the price may be considered slightly high, it is still reasonable within the context of other options available on the market."
