Despite the limitations, I love Box
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Box from other similar products?
I am impressed with how securely Box saves my files. However, this isn't even the most impressive part for me. The most impressive part of Box for me, is its electronic signature functionality. I can send unlimited documents for signature collection on Box and having e-signature and file storage capability in the same sphere, is greatly helpful for streamlining my workflow. I can conveniently save files securely and at the same time append my signature on them, without the need to switch apps.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Box integrates with over 1500 applications and while I do not make use of that number of applications in my workplace, Box integrates with every single, major third party application I use at my workplace. This makes it super easy to move content between multiple apps seamlessly without always needing to switch apps or import data.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Audit trail on box is weak. The is as a result of Box versioning platform setting a limit on the number of times, you can access previous version of a single file As a result, I run the risk of loosing critical data as a result of accidentally overwriting or deleting a file.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Teams or organizations looking to utilize Box, have to work around the file versioning limitation obstacle ,on the platform.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Security Protects
