Pros
"Box is very user-friendly; more so than SharePoint.""You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly.

Cons
"I don't like the low level of role-based security it provides – it's very cumbersome, and the support is ordinary at times.""Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved.""Maturity of the enterprise security around user management.""The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook.""I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level.""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.""The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem.""Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."

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 rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
