Considered Both Products
Box
Chose Box
I believe that anyone with exposure to software like Dropbox or Google Drive will have an easier transition when attempting to use Box. Where Box could improve is having a refresh of the UI/UX design. With an improvement to the design, Box can be more responsive and widely …
Chose Box
The best user experience of any of the major cloud data providers. As it's not a product of any of the other major technology companies, it remains agnostic to the many platforms / features that everyday users want to have.
Chose Box
I slightly prefer Box over Dropbox, especially if I need to store and manage thousands of files. DropBox online file management was not as easy to navigate as Box. However, DropBox also has a similar cloud sync feature that worked similar to Box and was pretty comparable to the …
Chose Box
Box is nowhere as deep as Google Drive due to the breadth of Google's ecosystem, but it is a self-contained mini-DAM that most will find works really well. The added bonus of built in Gmail sharing is a nice addition.
Chose Box
Google Drive is a bit slower for sending and receiving files. Box helps sending links for files directly once you share it with team members.
Box is good for user interaction for files sharing. And helps users to quickly download files for internal review. I like using Box for …
Chose Box
They are kind of the same. And both of them do their job as promised. But for company and project wise I think that Box slightly wins for some points. Which [makes him] win over Google Drive (don't forget that google drive is very easy to use and has a lot [of] nice features …
Chose Box
Box has fewer features than Dropbox and that makes it easier to use.
Chose Box
The first benefit of using Box that comes to my mind is the cost advantage. Box is generally more affordable and easy-to-use than Dropbox Business because it eliminates the cost of hardware and maintenance which translates into significant cost savings. Box team maintains, …
Chose Box
Most of these cloud storage platforms have a simple interface and provide a feature of drag and drop to easily upload a file to the online drive with little or no expert knowledge. However, Box goes a step further to store data across redundant servers so that even if one of …
Chose Box
The first reason that makes Box worth considering is the ability to ensure each authorized network participant can access the stored files. Another key advantage of using Box is that essentially all organization files and backups can be stored on the Box server and with the …
Chose Box
Among many other solutions box has been vetted by our security professionals and deemed to be the best solution for our particular organization. This lends to many of box's security features that still allow for collaboration and secure file sharing.
Chose Box
Neither pCloud nor Sync.com comes with unlimited storage, even though they are cheaper than Box. They also do not match most of Box's business features like custom branding and data loss protection.
Chose Box
Box has cheap storage pricing and so is preferred by small organizations, and easy to use app and sync make it a good product to use.
Cross platform file sharing and editing over the cloud is one of the best features it has.
Chose Box
It gives different bands to give access to others to see documents which [helps] us to maintain confidential information easily and do what need. The best alternative to other cloud storage because of uploading and sharing the document.
Chose Box
For us switching to Box [was] a big move. It saves us from big problems and troubles which we were already facing while using the other software. Those use a lot of effort and have zero results in terms of results. Box has been a great find for us.
Chose Box
Compared to all the listed alternatives I would give Box a good rating, because regardless of all the things normally associated with data, Box is always protecting all types of data with great efficiency and full responsibility.
Chose Box
We have definitely come a long way to finally reach Box. It is undoubtedly a powerful and secure tool that is embedded with many modern features. Moreover, we wanted a platform that has more features and involves less cost. Altogether, it successfully stored many problems …
Chose Box
I prefer Box over all of these alternatives because I find Box to be a lot more user-friendly and intuitive. Box has a lot more integrations as compared to the previous alternatives I used in my company. Moreover, this tool has led to an improvement in risk mitigation because …
Chose Box
We use both Box and SharePoint for different purposes.
Chose Box
Simply put, having unlimited file storage is a clear differentiator. Furthermore, the number of integrations offered by Box is simply unmatched. If you are looking for pure document and file sharing, I don't think there is a better product on the market. The benefits from …
Chose Box
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
OneSpan Sign
Chose OneSpan Sign
Both products had similar functions, but I found that OneSpan Sign just had the edge when it came to use ability and user experience. It is very clear how to use the system and it integrates very well into our business. Are use it on a regular basis, and even though I’ve tried …
Chose OneSpan Sign
OneSpan was more affordable than DocuSign.
Chose OneSpan Sign
we realized some insurance companies are using OneSpan and also our admin office uses the same program. Therefore, it is more friendly in terms of everyone knowing software.
Chose OneSpan Sign
OneSpan Sign had better audit history capability and better pricing.
Chose OneSpan Sign
My experience with OneSpan in the customer service has been very positive. However, since my experience with OneSpan is much more recent, most of my technical experience with OneSpan includes technical areas that were not available in other products at the time I was working …
Chose OneSpan Sign
All other evaluated tools allowed for changes within the document after the first signature. Within OneSpan this action kicked off a completely new signing process. This along with the security compliance was our main factor for approval.
Chose OneSpan Sign
Docusign wanted $1500/mo for access to the equivalent feature set of creating links to standard forms.
Chose OneSpan Sign
I haven't used a competitor nor would I as esignlive meets our needs.
Chose OneSpan Sign
eSignLive has made it easy to send and receive documents. No other program has been as user friendly as it is!
Chose OneSpan Sign
We are being introduced to similar products; I'm loyal, but any improvement with the unlocking of documents, and yearly subscription cost would make me more loyal!
Chose OneSpan Sign
DocuSign was probably one of the alternatives but to be honest we just did not evaluate alternatives at all. We were simply happy to integrate easily with an approved (by our financial institution) eSign product. We just moved from the POC to a "That's a go" decision given the …
Chose OneSpan Sign
I didn't research alternatives since I was approached directly.
Chose OneSpan Sign
I was told that the other services may have a better API but for our needs, the cheaper the better and eSign Live's prices could not be beat. I believe that DocuSign's similar product was roughly four times as much as what we are currently spending on eSign Live.
Chose OneSpan Sign
Our primary market is the enterprise. We reviewed other tools at the outset but these are small to medium scale tools trying to move into the enterprise, mostly with public cloud only offerings. We needed a platform with a proven record in the enterprise with options like …
Chose OneSpan Sign
DocuSign has a reminder function if the paperwork is not complete. You just click Remind and it sends the person a reminder to complete.
Chose OneSpan Sign
We've used a few other programs for sponsorships, and looked into using them for scholarships but the cost was in the thousands to create an additional form. eSignLive was much more cost-effective for our department as our organization was already using it for other forms (I …
Chose OneSpan Sign
It all comes down to workflow and UX. e-SignLive is the superior choice when it comes to these factors. The product lays out the signing process in an easy-to-follow format that is easy to understand both from the client side and the customer side. As a SaaS user, security was …
Chose OneSpan Sign
We were also considering Docusign but with the similarity of product and functional offering, it boiled down to price and possibly a better support system.
Chose OneSpan Sign
e-SignLive provided us with more cost control options around implementing and using the service than competitors. e-SignLive seems to offer stronger legal and audit attention to details around electronic signature processing.
Chose OneSpan Sign
no one
Chose OneSpan Sign
I dont have the feeling it's as secure or recognized as E-SignLive.
Chose OneSpan Sign
It is not so expensive, and easy to use.

Likelihood to Recommend
Very likely to use it. It gives you the comfort that all the files are being stored in [the] same places from different team members. It is easy to organize in folders and also very useful by adding time stamps. [With] an easy setup u can have and box extension installed on your laptop and use it directly. So you can sync files easily.

It is well suited for financial professional field. At the moment, i cannot think of area that will be less appropriate. It all comes down to if the admin office or head office can accept OneSpan as authorized software. Often enough, program can be very good but not recognized by head office due to its compliance issue. For example, in the Canadian regulatory rules for investments, sometimes it requires companies to process/store documents in the same country. If there is a cross border issue, it will be a big compliance issue.

Pros
  • The main feature that I like the most in Box is that it makes collaboration seamless, workers can easily check the documents any time and make changes according to the needs.
  • Box manages and backs up all of your files on its cloud servers, and provides a very nice interface for creating, viewing, editing, and collaborating on the most commonly used file types (PDF, XLS, DOC, etc.).
  • Over the past few years, Box has built on top of its basic cloud storage management with a host of other tools, such as workflows, AI, monitoring, and analytics.
  • It is helping us to make good connections with clients and our workers themselves as to its syncing and viewing feature to all is very much helpful and easy to go.

  • The product has very limited functionality in some areas which could be a bit frustrating at times.

  • Search capabilities can be improved by a great extent. We still can't search documents by name of the signatory

As I've stated Box is very easy to use and to set up. The documentation provided by Box is easy to follow and the interface is designed in a way that makes sense. With only a few limitations on the administrator side the system is fully capable to get the job done for our company

I don't see any reasons to change as their solution covers all my need for now. I could make even more integrations but that might be something that I will do down the road. I'm used to working with the interface and my data is all there as well.

Usability
I think I can only describe it as excellent. All aspects of Box work without problem, quickly and efficiently. The file upload and download systems are quite fast, the process of access from different platforms is carried out without problems, so far no document has been generated in conflicts or unexpected copies, or any type of error.

Performance
It's performance is great. Everything loads as soon as you open a page. The same goes for the local file application, if is just like going through folders on a native "My Computer" or "Finder" folder. The integration into other softwares is also fantastic, as Box keeps them all running smoothly and quickly

Support Rating
I found their support community lacking in clarity when I experienced a login issue. The error messaging was poor on my Box Sync application. I did not reach out to support staff for help, instead, I reasoned that I should try downloading the Box Sync application again and reinstall it. That fixed my issue, thankfully. I think a less computer-savvy user would've been much more frustrated.

The product is so well designed and built that we rarely need to reach out to customer service. But we have reached out to them in case of downtime, and we have always gotten a satisfactory response. We never had to follow up, as customer service executives were very responsible.

Be careful with settings. It is easy to get overwhelmed with updates. For example, you don’t want to be updated when doing historical data uploads. I recommend taking off notifications initially and then turn on post you have done your historical data upload.

I slightly prefer Box over Dropbox, especially if I need to store and manage thousands of files. Dropbox online file management was not as easy to navigate as Box. However, Dropbox also has a similar cloud sync feature that worked similar to Box and was pretty comparable to the Box feature. The main reason my team switched to Box was because our organization provided it at no cost to our team, whereas for Dropbox we had to use our own research grant money to pay for it.

Return on Investment
  • Box has been an only positive experience. It provides a seamless way for me and my team to collaborate on documents in such a way where we're not sending the document back/forth via email. It's a huge timesaver.
  • Box reduces the risk of sharing a sensitive document to the wrong person via email.
  • Box has provided a platform where my team can share notes in meetings - this has helped streamline and organize our meetings. Our meetings are more productive and actionable.
