Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Pros →

"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box.""Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint.""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.""I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines.""I like the ease of use.""Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect.""You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."

More Box Pros →

"The solution is scalable.""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.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution."

More Citrix ShareFile Pros →

Cons
"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Cons →

"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook.""They could integrate better with other platforms.""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’).""The solution's data security should be improved.""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 UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents.""It could be cheaper.""Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."

More Box Cons →

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

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
  • More Box Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
