Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box.""The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization.""The most valuable feature of Box is security.""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 system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""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.""The solution is scalable.""Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."

More Box Pros →

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

More DocuWare Pros →

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."

More Laserfiche Rio Pros →

Cons
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component.""I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable.""The integration with other products should be improved.""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’).""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great.""I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times.""The solution's data security should be improved."

More Box Cons →

"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly.""It should have collaboration features."

More DocuWare Cons →

"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."

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