Easy to download and save to your file as needed. > > **Cons**: That if you don't log in for a while it's like you have to get a reset password to log back in. Time consuming when need documents quickly. > > Great experience being able to receive documents shared by another party and can download as needed to file. ----- ### "Best Document Management Solution." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 April 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box is hands down the most robust document management solution in existence\! It integrates with some of the most powerful tools out there like Salesforce. The ability to have collaboration similar to Microsoft or Google, is crucial. Especially when integrated with other tools. It is very intuitive and easy to use. Support is top tier and always has a solution. > > **Cons**: Honestly, nothing. This application has yet to show me any signs of faults. While it can be cumbersome to setup with integrations, it still is superior. > > Overall, Box has provided me with solutions in more than one case, that have made me look good. Box integration into Salesforce is one of the best features. With the ability to auto create folders based on record creation, it simplifies so many processes. ----- ### "Easy Access on important docs on move" — 5.0/5 > **Muhammad** | *22 March 2026* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Storage on the go and access from every device easily and securely. Can setup multiple devices simultaneously > > **Cons**: So far nothing i can describe which can count as Cons. But prices for high capacity storage may effect aomw users > > Perfect in general usage and can be recommended for all platforms users. Windows OS and IOS and Android ----- ### "Very good file storage & collaboration platform" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *17 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to send an "upload" only link to someone is a great feature when working with external people. It allows them to upload their files without being able to view or access the original folder or see what other people may have uploaded. The folder structuring is pretty standard compared to other platforms but Box does a really good job with granular collaboration permissions from the parent folder and down. Configuring organization wide settings is easy to setup as well. UI is modern, clean, and easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: Box is a little on the pricier side when compared to other platforms and some of the more advanced features are hidden behind an additional license/add-on. There is no native "team/shared folder" feature. If you need to create a team/shared folder, it has to be created within someone's individual account. You essentially need to start off with creating a service account user and then creating all your team/shared folders within that service account. > > Box overall is a very good file storage and collaboration platform. Web interface is easy to use and navigate and the desktop app syncs and works well within File Explorer or Finder. Its great when collaborating with external users because you can either give them access to a folder with granular permissions or you can generate a link for them to upload files to only. Reporting is good as well as you can report on all user and file/folder activity (for both internal and external users). It can be on the pricier side especially if you want some of the more advanced features such as a Shield or Goverance or Retention Policies. ----- ### "Secure, Reliable Document Management Built for Enterprise" — 5.0/5 > **Radha** | *23 April 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Box was its strong focus on secure, enterprise‑grade file storage and collaboration, combined with ease of use. In particular: Robust security and compliance – Box excels at protecting sensitive information with granular permission controls, encryption, and compliance features, making it especially well‑suited for organizations handling confidential documents. Easy, intuitive file sharing – Sharing files and folders—internally or externally—is simple and user‑friendly, with clear control over access levels and expiration settings. Strong collaboration features – Real‑time comments, version history, and file previews made collaboration straightforward without needing to download files. Excellent Microsoft integration – Seamless integration with tools like Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook) made it easy to edit and collaborate on documents without leaving Box. Centralized document management – Box did a great job of keeping documents organized and accessible, reducing version confusion and scattered file storage. Overall, what stood out most was Box’s ability to balance security with usability. It felt reliable and professional while still being easy for users to collaborate efficiently—particularly valuable for teams or organizations with strict data protection requirements. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Box was that, while it’s very strong on security and compliance, it can sometimes feel heavy and less flexible for everyday use. In particular: Interface can feel cluttered – With many enterprise features layered in, the user experience isn’t always as clean or intuitive as some lighter file‑sharing tools. Performance with large folders – Navigating or syncing folders with many large files could occasionally feel slow. Offline access limitations – Working with files offline wasn’t always as seamless, especially compared to native desktop file systems. Administrative complexity – Managing permissions, policies, and settings requires careful attention, which can be time‑consuming for administrators. Cost for advanced features – Pricing can add up, particularly when advanced security, collaboration, or compliance features are required. Overall, the main drawback was that Box sometimes felt overbuilt for simpler needs. It’s excellent for regulated or security‑focused environments, but for teams looking for speed and simplicity first, it can feel more complex than necessary. > > My overall experience with Box was reliable and professional, particularly in environments where security, compliance, and document control are priorities. Box performed very well as a centralized document management and collaboration platform. It provided strong confidence that files were stored securely, with clear version history, access controls, and auditability. Sharing documents—both internally and with external parties—was straightforward, and the ability to manage permissions at a granular level was especially valuable when working with sensitive or confidential information. Collaboration features such as file previews, comments, and real‑time editing worked smoothly and reduced the need to download documents or rely on multiple versions. Integration with Microsoft 365 was a notable strength, allowing documents to be edited and co‑authored efficiently while remaining within Box’s secure environment. That said, the experience sometimes felt heavy for everyday use. The interface can feel busy, especially for users who only need basic file storage and sharing. Performance occasionally slowed when working with large folders or many files, and offline access was less intuitive than native desktop file systems. From an administrative perspective, managing settings and permissions required careful oversight, which added complexity. Overall, I found Box to be a strong, enterprise‑grade solution that excels in security and governance. While it may feel overbuilt for simple file sharing needs, it delivers significant value for organizations that require structured document management, compliance, and controlled collaboration. ----- Page: 1 / 227\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/18947/box-enterprise?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/18947/box-enterprise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
