Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure.""The most valuable feature of Box is security.""Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer.""The solution is scalable.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives.""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.""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."

More Box Pros →

"The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically.""It's user-friendly for end users.""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.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""The solution is scalable.""Easy to manage and fully secure."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point. Invoicing is simple. It is one price that includes both licensing and retention requirements, which is rare in today's market. That, I believe, is a significant differentiation for them."

More Keepit Pros →

Cons
"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.""With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have.""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.""I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times.""Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved.""The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents.""The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."

More Box Cons →

"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode.""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.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."

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."

  • "I give the cost of the solution a five out of five."
