Cons
"It could be cheaper.""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 don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times.""With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have.""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component.""Better integration with other solutions is needed."

More Box Cons →

"The response time for read requests can be improved.""InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More Box Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
  • "The best features come included without any additional cost."
