Box vs Nifty: Which is a better fit?

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.

Aryana R.: Hi, I'm Aryana, the founder of a coaching and training company, and I give Nifty a four out of five. I was working in Basecamp, and I found it hard to navigate. When I was looking for something, I'd spend a lot of time trying to find that post or that document, and it was frustrating. I decided to go with Nifty. One, the pricing. It was better than anything else that I'd looked at. I also liked it was more intuitive, and it was like I was looking at a desktop, not just this blank screen. I was able to put my calendar in there, my team members, alert people easily. It had kind of this feeling of a dashboard that was modifiable. My team and I are still working on onboarding. I found that this is what I do as a business owner is I get my team to do, "How does this all work?" Then they teach me how to do it. I would say we really ran at it very quickly and we got some projects in there. I was really impressed as we were doing it. Then things got busy, so we started to go back to Google Docs. Interestingly, just yesterday, I was like, "I'm done Google docs. I'm done emails back and forth. I need to get us using Nifty again." I started to put some projects in, some task lists. There's something really satisfying about that, when you can be like, "Tick it off. I did it." If you're considering Nifty, I suggest doing their free trial, if they still have it, and really give it a robust, try. Get your team members working in it and put an entire project in. It's going to help you because you can still use the content if you decide not to continue with their trial, but that's one thing that I wished I'd done when I was researching is just give it a good solid test because then once you do commit to it, you're going to stick with it and you're going to use it fully.
