Highly functional software allowing for great collaboration environment for teams in multiple locations.

Leader in cloud storage and collaboration, but they need to keep innovating and delighting customers to stay ahead of the competition

We will most likely continue our use of Box and push for even more adoption across our company. However, I am also keeping my eye on Microsoft OneDrive. My company has a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, so we are already entitled to use OneDrive. When I was evaluating Box, OneDrive was not where Box was in terms of features and functionality, but it is improving. If it catches up to or surpasses Box in terms of functionality, ease of use, and extensibility, then I would have a harder time justifying the additional spend for Box.

Box is a great solution, but it isn't the end all cloud solution.

I like the security features and I like the website. It's easy to use and create and move things around as needed. The main reason for a lower rating is because the Box Sync app is just not a good program. It's a memory hog, it's slow, transfer speeds are slow, and it's not the most efficient route. If you have a large Box account and you need to get a computer up to speed on a large amount of data within Box, you are in for the long haul. Last time I had to do this, it took 3 days to sync all of the files and we are talking around 100 GB worth of data.

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.
