"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."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"We've never had a penetration. We've never had a security issue that their support didn't solve. We love their audit trail. We can know exactly when a collaborator opens. We love how you can define a collaborator."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"The interface is very good."
"File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution."
"Its most valuable features are the collaboration, the file snapshots, and the data protection the solution provides."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"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."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
