Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

Secure collaboration on critical documentation has transformed how our teams share and work
The most important feature for me is that we get to keep control of the data on our end. We can either use ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise's server or our own cloud where we can deploy things. This approach is quite cost-efficient and also scalable. Additionally, the ability to work from anywhere means people can collaborate from any location and on any kind of device through online documentation. Among the features of data control, cost efficiency, scalability, and device flexibility, the most important feature for my team was having security over the data that we have. We have a lot of proprietary processes and financial data and information on our documentations, as well as many things we need to share with the board and our shareholders. Keeping control of the data and being able to collaborate and share with other people has been the most important feature that makes ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise worth it. ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise also comes with many integrations, which we have not really tried extensively, but we know that there are integrations for different types of languages and other options. This is something we are looking forward to exploring in the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is scalable."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"File and Folder sharing in the organization and outside of it."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"Box thinks of features before I realize I want them!"
"Being able to securely invite, share folders, do version control, and comment on files so quickly and easily without using unsecure large email attachments is a major productivity gain."
"Governance and ease of use are why I think a lot of people like Box, including ourselves. Basically, we're concerned about what information is being sent to Box, so we use a lot of the Box governance features to make sure that what is being sent to Box is appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it is not allowed to be sent. It is also pretty easy to use. It is the easiest to use for customers and for technologists."
"The easiest use stands out. Box - Intelligent Content Management is simple, small, and very fast to deploy."
"ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by reducing the processing time, which it usually takes with other tools, by 20% to 40% through its real-time data fetching and collaboration, making it easier for my team as well."
"I see only advantages there; it has had a very positive impact on operations, with cost reduction, and the familiarity that users developed with this tool met our expectations."
"Keeping control of the data and being able to collaborate and share with other people has been the most important feature that makes ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise worth it."
 

Cons

"Maturity of the enterprise security around user management."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"I see significant room for improvement with Box - Intelligent Content Management. Right-to-left functionality in Hebrew and Arabic is not working, and the GUI does not work with different languages."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"In future releases, there could be encryption, to have better security."
"I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see who is accessing the document now and see my movements across the document or the file we are sharing together."
"Regarding how ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise can be improved, I feel that the initial deployment is a bit more complex than a cloud ONLYOFFICE suite."
"One of the points for improvement for ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise needs to be more integrations with corporate solutions, as well as more advanced features in spreadsheets and documents because we are limited to some of the features it offers compared to other corporate solutions such as Office 365."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"They are very price competitive when pushed. Initially, they come out with a standard list price, but they are willing to be very competitive. The Box price was pretty much equal to or lower than the Citrix price, and Box has more features."
"Box's pricing is excellent."
"Our pricing and licensing is excellent. I'd tell all Higher Ed customers to talk with Internet2 for excellent pricing and support."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"There's a free version that allows you to use it with almost full-feature access. Even in the free version, it gives you all you need."
