Chose Box
We use both Box and SharePoint for different purposes.
This platform was a recent selection but before switching to Box we used Hiver, MS
SharePoint, Dropbox, and Asana. We moved to Box because of many reasons like
cost factors, usability factors, support team rating, and much more. With my
Box and its competitors are all quite similar in their filesharing and storing capabilities. I think the closest, most similar product would be OneDrive, which I use quite often. Google Drive provides a bit more of real-time updating and version control of documentation that I …
Box was selected prior to me starting with the company. We eventually switched to Sharepoint because of the cost savings, but otherwise, we would have preferred to stay on Box. OneDrive did not stack up to Box because it was determined that it was best suited for storing work …
Box is better for large file sets than Dropbox, and doesn't have the collaboration abilities of Sharepoint (But that's not a negative! Sometimes it's just not needed).
Box is infinitely more reliable and easy to use, without the sometimes days-at-a-time delay when the site was down, nor the data loss we experienced when our content was housed in SharePoint. Our day to day workflow has been hugely positively impacted by the switch to Box.
My organization selected Box because it's a product that many organizations use, so it was easy to get users up to speed and collaborating together. The interface is very user friendly and intuitive. This has saved us time and effort in allowing users to become proficient in …
Box is more user-friendly since most of its features are simpler and easier than OneDrive, which has many add-on features. Files in the Box sync folder will sync automatically and can be available for phones and tablets. GitHub users commonly share, and document code sources …
Back when the selection for Box was being decided, Office 365 and the online suite of products were not well developed yet. However, that is no longer the case. Office 365 and the Microsoft stack make way more sense and there's no need to go with Box. OneDrive has covered all …
SharePoint is unusable and nobody should have to use it who isn't being forced to use MS applications by their employer. Drive is great, and for use cases less important/critical, I'd go with them as the free alternative for my storage needs.
We used Box for 2 years and then switched to SharePoint thinking it would integrate more appropriately with our other MS platforms. We had it for about 3 months and switched back to Box because SharePoint was a horrible experience compared to the flexibility and speed of Box. I …
Users have commonly implemented Box for file sharing and collaboration purposes. They affirm its user-friendly interface and robust security features make it seamless to share large files with team members. An added advantage is its integration ability with various applications like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, which facilitates team collaboration on documents.
Microsoft SharePoint, on the other hand, has been predominantly employed by users for document management and storage. Reviewers often mention utilizing SharePoint to set up intranet portals for their organizations, allowing for secure access to team sites and documents. While it also supports document collaboration, robust content management features, and integration capabilities are its standout traits, as mentioned by users.
Despite these differing primary uses, both Box and SharePoint provide robust collaboration tools and have been employed by companies of varying sizes. Organizations seeking a solution primarily for large file sharing and user-friendly collaboration may lean towards Box, as reported by users. In contrast, users who require a robust document management system with intranet capabilities reportedly favor SharePoint. Both services, according to customers, offer strong security features and integrate well with other commonly used applications.
