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 →

"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives.""The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files.""The most valuable feature of Box is security.""Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it.""The collaboration of the solution is good.""The solution is scalable.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."

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

More BlackBerry Workspaces Cons →

"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level.""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’).""Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could 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 integration with other products should be improved.""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.""The upload speed needs improvement."

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."
