Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The interface is very good.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint.""The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization.""Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities.""Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists.""I like that Box makes it easy to deploy virtual machines.""It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."

More Box Pros →

"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point. Invoicing is simple. It is one price that includes both licensing and retention requirements, which is rare in today's market. That, I believe, is a significant differentiation for them."

Cons
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have.""Maturity of the enterprise security around user management.""Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage.""Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices.""The upload speed needs improvement.""I recommend doing the trial first, because it's not cheap ware. It's not overly expensive, but it's not cheap ware, and enterprise has a minimum number of users.""The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents.""One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."

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."

  • "I believe the MSRP is around $5 or $6 USD per person, per month, and per seat."
