Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the ease of use.""The solution is scalable.""Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer.""The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box.""The most valuable feature of Box is security.""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.""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 application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."

"Provides easy access to our data.""Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."

"This product has good performance.""Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."

More INFINIDAT InfiniBox Pros →

Cons
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents.""Maturity of the enterprise security around user management.""I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level.""They could integrate better with other platforms.""The solution's data security 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’).""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.""If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."

More Box Cons →

"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"The response time for read requests can be improved.""InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."

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."

  • "It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
  • More Huawei FusionStorage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
  • "The best features come included without any additional cost."
