Box takes file security to another level.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Box from other similar products?

Security of saved data is what differentiates Box from other similar products . From granular permissions , to multi-layered watermarking and user authentication, I do not think there is any file storage program which comes remotely closed to Box in terms of security architecture.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As I mentioned earlier -file security. I also like to add fast synchronization as well because Box does very good in that aspect too.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Box lacks a proper collaboration add-on, the way Google docs is linked to Google Drive as a document collaboration add-on.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For individuals or organizations very concerned about file security, Box is the ideal file storage tool.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features

Easy to use and integrates really well

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Box from other similar products?

Box has got some unlimited storage plans which are really convenient when working with a team. I even made use of the built in note-taking app a couple times to keep certain info related to the files in mind.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The value for money is great compared to a lot of similar services. It integrates with Salesforce and Google Docs which was certainly useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing negative stood out, as such, but some extra filtering and search options could've been great especially when one's working with a huge amount of files.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In terms of reliability and uptime, it's just as good as any other industry standard. Personally, I don't find them too different from each other, so if the pricing and plan requirements work for your team - I can recommend the service.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service
  • Transparent

Cons

  • Commodity Features
  • Charges for Enhancements

Used to share project documents

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Box from other similar products?

Continue to transmit data from the old file server to BOX as a transfer destination internally. Externally, partners, as well as a location, to share project materials with the customer, and the use of BOX data It is generally handled through a browser on a commercial PC, and it is only used for navigation when leaving on smart devices. The moment of modification and who amended the content for each document may be displayed in the BOX interface, allowing you to view the confirmation component at a glance when confirming the material with several parties.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For security considerations, even if we use alternative internal storage systems, Box must be used to transfer information to the outside world. Because it can be utilized on mobile devices, files and links may be accessed from anywhere. It's a positive since, despite its tight security, it's still usable. Furthermore, because a shared link to a specific piece of material or directory can be sent. It was quite beneficial for me to be able to work while sharing data with others. Furthermore, because it is no longer necessary to send attachments through email or save files on a PC, it would be ideal to be able to work remotely.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It may depend on how the box is arranged, but as the number of items to share rises, I believe a better file search option would be good.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

When file sharing with the outside world is required, access privileges might be granted to members with unique job titles and job titles related to specific projects spanning many departments rather than all departments or employees constituting an organizational structure. We were able to achieve collaboration that eliminated the need for external security without being constrained by the file server and other storage services. Sharing resources within and outside of the company has improved usability and security. Previously, the PPAP approach involved distributing documents via email and then communicating with the password via email.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
