Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""The solution is scalable.""I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines.""Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities.""The collaboration of the solution is good.""Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."

More Box Pros →

"It's user-friendly for end users.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""The solution is scalable."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."

More Laserfiche Rio Pros →

Cons
"The upload speed needs improvement.""I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level.""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.""Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage.""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component.""If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great.""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’)."

More Box Cons →

"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."

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."

  • "You have to work hard in order to get the suitable licenses."
  • "If you are already a Citrix customer, I recommend having the Platinum licensing level, as it provides licensing for a number of various features that all integrate together."
  • "Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a five out of five."
