Box vs Rock: Which is a better fit?

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.

The task management is easy and the feature of mentioning tasks is awesome. The interface is good too.

There is no possibility for external apps or integrations, unlike Slack. I couldn't integrate Notion with Rock or install any other app for team management.

I love that Rock is a very strong competitor and even better than Slack's features. It freemium and I can use it with all my teams.

No possibility to integrate other solutions at the moment, also not via Zapier to build it on your own.

Chat/Messages is of course very important and I love that you can chat on each space and thus focus the conversation on the Space's content.

Ease of use is especially important when you work with people outside of your org - and ease of use is what Rock provides. We can organize several aspects of our work (projects, tasks, notes etc.).
