"The most valuable feature of Box is security."

"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."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"Office Integration. The full integration into the Microsoft Office products is just perfect."
"The solution is scalable."

"The most valuable feature is the integration between net and mobile devices."
"The way the ERP presents information for the user is very good."
"I love all of the applications being interlinked. I do not have to separately work on an independent system when it comes to file storage, email, and other tools."
"The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent."
"It is very easy to deploy."
"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."

"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"It could be cheaper."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"I started working a lot on Microsoft Teams and I find it a bit vast. It should be divided out a bit so that someone can use it for basic functionality, like audio, video, and calls. Then, if someone wants more advanced functionality for file sharing and team creation, and so on, they could use a separate app."
"Data protection and email security are almost the same for all the organizations, irrespective of their segment (SMB or enterprises), with standard subscription at least basic Data loss prevention and Advance threat protection can be enabled for SMB segments, it is available in enterprise version / Premium versions."
"In the next release, I would like to have a more intuitive tutorial."
"It needs improvements around its compatibility with non-Microsoft products."
"The online applications have limited functionality compared to the local applications."
"Could include integration with other single sign-on solutions."
"Microsoft Word is a little bit left behind regarding the tools it has."
"As a private user, I do not appreciate the cloud features, but I doubt that this is something Microsoft would consider a feature request."
