We performed a comparison between Box and Google Drive Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We've never had a penetration. We've never had a security issue that their support didn't solve. We love their audit trail. We can know exactly when a collaborator opens. We love how you can define a collaborator."
"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"Using Box for cloud storage allows us to focus on the service and maintaining infrastructure."
"Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines."
"The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good. It's very useful and critical for us to communicate with each other nowadays. They integrate well with other Google solutions, such as Google Documents and Google Spreadsheet."
"can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility."
"It is very convenient and easy to access."
"It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product."
"Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer."
"Google autosaves your work, which means you won't lose things."
"I'm satisfied with the basic function. it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need."
"The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure."
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"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."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"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."
"There is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. Some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced so this product is a more complete replacement for Excel."
"I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time."
"I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience."
"The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price."
"I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive."
"I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments."
"A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with."
"The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit."
