Box Scalability

JL
Senior Applications Analyst at a real estate/law firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

I'm not sure, however, it is my understanding that the solution can scale. 

We are kind of odd in the fact that we have several different file shares. It's hard to gauge how widely used this particular product is used. Whoever wants to use it, it uses it. It's probably strange for most companies. I would imagine most companies don't do it that way.

Whether you have one terabyte or two terabytes of data, your performance is going to remain the same. Box has tens of thousands of servers. Their speed for uploads and downloads and performance is standard for everyone. You are not going to get better than the next guy, no matter how big your company grows or how many people you have in your company. It is not going to be slow for any of your customers.

IT Program Manager at a university with 10,001+ employees

We've deployed it campus wide and currently have nearly 100K active users - a very large deployment. We have not had any issues with scalability from the user perspective. That's been rock solid. However, we have had scale issues with the admin console. With our number of users, sometimes reports can't complete or queries take a very long time. Box is addressing that now with new reporting technology.

Box is quite scalable, they offer several types of subscriptions. There's a free version that allows you to use it with almost full-feature access. Even in the free version, it gives you all you need.
