If I have restricted access within an organization by keeping the data in Box, there are other applications through which I can barge into the data. If anyone wants to keep a file restricted to four people, I can access it because it's available in the cloud. I can directly access the file and pull in the data by entering the file's name.

Someone from outside the organization can't access it. However, someone from within the organization who is not supposed to access the data can access it, provided it is in Box.

Box is almost like a folder structure outside your system. The solution uses the cloud, and you don't need any separate storage in your system. Even if your system crashes down, the data will be saved.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

We are a customer and end-user.

We're using the latest version of the solution at this point.

My own preference is to have one system for sharing files so that everybody's on the same page. They do have governance, which we didn't implement. However, it would be important to keep retention consistent. 

I did work at one point with the sales rep, and they were very informative. They helped us understand what all the different options we had for different Box products. The governance would also be a really good thing to implement along with just the enterprise version of Box.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

I think the vision of the leadership in the company is amazing. More importantly it's not hackable and it's a secure, easy-to-use platform. And that's what people really want.

I would rate Box a ten out of ten.

Box is an online cloud platform, and I am using its latest version.

The solution is on par with ShareFile and inexpensive.

Overall, I rate Box ten out of ten.

This solution is good for file storage but there are better options out there.

Leverage the existing community of expertise out there. Ask the sales rep to put you in touch with other customers. We're happy to talk with folks looking to deploy Box.

My advice to anybody who is considering this type of solution is to first formulate the use case. Box has certain limitations, but it is very plain and easy to use. If you need collaboration in terms of document management then it provides a simple interface that offers differing levels of granularity in terms of access control.

This is a good solution but it does not address all of the use cases for a content management system.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Separate internal folders from externally shared ones and lock down the internal security so that staff can't invite non-domain users to internal folders; nice, clear demarcation.

For basic file storage and a little collaboration, the product is fine. But for anything more integrated from a security point of view, it is not.

Besides Box, we also run SharePoint, and in terms of a holistic approach, I would say that SharePoint is probably the better option.

I would rate this product a six out of ten.

On a scale of one to ten, I'd rank Box a 10. And I rank their customer service a 9.5. Because they're not as good as GravityZone, but they're better than anybody else out there.

We like this solution, and we prefer to work with the Box consulting team. Basically, for a large company, we would recommend that people work with their professional services just to get things set up quickly and completely. It is possible to do this on your own, but it is faster if you have help from Box. Their pro services are very good.

I would rate Box an eight out of ten. Eight is about as good as somebody is going to get. There is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable to make it a ten.

Check first all the possibilities where to store the data. (Where are the data servers located and how are they synchronized/mirrored.)

It's a good tool for everything. It's very similar to SharePoint.

I would recommend Box if you are going off-site to meet clients, for mobility purposes. If not, then I would suggest SharePoint.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Box a rating of eight.

My biggest problem with Box.net is the lack of a free desktop syncing feature. They were the first out of the gate with an Android tablet app and a WebOS tablet app. They were ahead of the game everywhere but where it counted, unfortunately. View full review »

You can use the free trial and evaluate it, before actually jumping into this great product.
