"I haven't really come across a case where we're not able to use it for what it is, so I don't really have anything holding us up or any customers holding us up at this point that I know of. There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"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."
"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"There's a bit of a learning curve."
"The user interface, especially on Google Drive, could be better."
"The solution needs to be more user-friendly and improve its tools and features."
