Box vs Dash: 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.

Overall the platform is great, the team are brilliant and where we've had hiccups because of our previous platform the team have done their best to help us through it.

We migrated to Dash from a very old version of Assetbank hosted on an equally old in house server. Migrating to Dash meant we could kill off the old server without losing our asset database.

Tagging and other search functions are very useful. For myself the asset based reporting tools helps with grant compliance.

This may be user error, but searching for assets can be difficult.

Dash has been a great addition for us, we're super happy with how it has rapidly become an integral part of our content and asset management.

The search feature works well, but way you use it can get a little confusing.

Easy of use, ease of onboarding, ease of sharing, basically it makes things succinct and easy. Meets our needs perfectly for now.

I am yet to find anything that I don't like. We wanted simple, and Dash delivers.
