Box provides workplace solutions for every industry and business size, from SMBs to global enterprises.
The dataroom is user-friendly and it has a great value for money. The dedicated support team is incredibly fast and reliable, with a 24/7 service available.
I have wasted an hour looking for it. The TheoData software system is a nightmare of gratuitous complication and poor user features at the install level.
The overall experience was good and very usefull, the support team and leaders were excellent.
Can be difficult for those using the software who are not administrators. Some users complain about having to download the additional software to use the data site.
We really like how simple and intuitie it is. We saved a lot of time with the help of the relationship manager from EthosData.
I had to call tech support, which itself was very difficult and time consuming. They do not answer their phone, but rather ask you to leave a message.
Ease of use, simplicity, custoemr service was really supportive and friendly.
They call back on an "invalid" number, which is a sign of a scam in itself.
Users are able to simultaneously edit a document at the same time and also it's accessible from any location. Customer support has been amazing and their pricing is very fair.
The Search functionality is so bad (doesn't work the way you think it should and rarely generates the results you're after) as to be almost useless.
I love that you can basically store an unlimited amount of data and share it with anyone who has the link. It makes sharing documents very easy and accessible from any internet accessible device.
At the current price point (charged per user), it's a bit on the more expensive side. The functionalities on the admin console is a bit hard to navigate.
But what makes Box the best, are all the features that they layer on top of that. Collaboration, sync, edit, Office integration, great mobile apps, policies, preview, workflows, automations, and more.
The worst thing about the Box that I have found is that when you first open it, all the files that are on it takes a little bit of time to load.
As positive points I can say that Box is a complete cloud backup software with high reliability and security. It has an excellent friendly graphical interface for organizing files in the cloud.
If you don't know what "folder" a document is in - or even its exact document name, the search tool can be very difficult, and almost useless.
Svetlana: Hi, my name is Svetlana. I'm the executive director at the Children's Guardian Fund, and I gave Box 5-star rating. I used Dropbox but it wasn't working out because we needed something a little more robust for our organization as we were growing. I ended up using/choosing Box because they were very cost-effective for a not-for-profit organization our size, and they offered a lot of the features that we were looking for. It only took a couple of hours to learn the system and onboard with Box. We were able to get all of our users login information very quickly. And once we got all the plugins on everybody's laptops, it's been very easy and streamlined ever since. If you're looking for something to streamline your data and have it accessible on different devices, I would highly recommend Box because they check all the boxes.
