Box provides workplace solutions for every industry and business size, from SMBs to global enterprises.
Invest into spending the time to explore the capabilities of the software and take advantage of the amazing support that is offered.
Can be a bit buggy when within an activity, which may force it to crash. This is primarily because of user error though and you learn ways to stop this from happening.
The best I like is you can create your company database with all the cost and production rate and it's easy to pull those data to your estimate. Vendor support to is the best.
Some of the character limitations are ridiculous and entering bid prices for comparison is not as intuitive as it could be.
What I like best about this product is the many ways that you can get the same result. I also like that you can customize almost every report to give you what you are looking for.
If you do not have experience using the software, you are lost. Even experienced users such as myself wouldn't mind a friendlier experience.
So far it has been user friendly for most of the basics and the help hotline has been great.
Only 3 are allowed as compared to other competing softwares. Also the reports are limited in what is shown.
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.
