Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers.""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.""The interface is very good.""The system's performance is impressive, and file sharing is notably straightforward.""The collaboration of the solution is good.""The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box.""File sharing, authorization on the back, its ease of use and reliable uptime performance are valuable features of this solution.""The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."

"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well.""This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."

Cons
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved.""It could be cheaper.""Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices.""I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward.""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.""I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times.""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’).""If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."

"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."

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."
