Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Box is a platform that makes it its priority to be highly secure when uploading files in it and sharing it with others inside and outside of the platform, and I like that I am able to encrypt all files for more security. When working on files inside of the software, I can easily control the security when collaborating with other members and choose what type of access everyone has. Aside from this security aspect, I also like that it's able to integrate with other well-known security tools like Cisco to ensure a better experience in terms of safety. The best functionality of Box, in my opinion, is in its collaboration features, the digital whiteboard is one of them, because it's very easy to annotate things in different manners during a meeting and build ideas with other team members where there is a big creative process going on. There is a space specifically made for creating and working together on projects and I really love that it's possible to access it on a variety of platforms without the files getting altered, the way the mobile application is designed makes it easier to work on it compared to other solutions. In addition to that, the notes feature is such a great tool to obtain a quick overview of what we'll eventually be working on in a certain project.
  • The best i like about Box is how it provides very high security for our sensitive documents. Permission management is an outstanding and fantastic feature which allows us to control who has access to what information.
  • Box makes it extremely easy to manage important and sensitive documents safely and securely in the cloud. It had a simple and user friendly interface which makes it easy to use. It's a cloud-based solution thus making it very easy to access from anywhere anytime.
  • I use Box daily and it's a brilliant and exceptional tool that allows me to easily and safely manage my documents. It has a very clean and intuitive interface making it easy to use. It provides very high security for my files and i highly recommend it.
  • I like how its advanced encryption ensures that our sensitive data is protected during storage and transfer. In addition, permissions management is another outstanding feature, as it allows us to control who has access to what information, minimizing the risk of data leaks. Box also offers flexibility in collaboration that allows teams to work together efficiently.

Cons

  • I don't have a lot of negative things to say about Box, it's a software that does what it promises, although I do have a few things that I would like to point out. Firstly, I dislike that it takes a long time to upload files to the platform, this has never happened with any other tool that requires uploading files to work on the cloud, but for some reason, it happens with Box, we usually do file back-ups from time to time and it takes so long that it becomes inconvenient at some point. Secondly, I don't like that some formats are not supported by Box and some formats are supported but the viewer makes it hard to actually work on the file. If they improve these two aspects, I feel like Box could be a top-tier tool for collaboration on the cloud.
  • There is nothing to mention as a dislike about Box. It's a brilliant and exceptional tool for document management.
  • I use Box daily and till today i haven't experienced any challenges so nothing negative to mention about it.
  • I have been using Box for years now and i can't remember anything that disappointed me so nothing to dislike.
  • While Box is a powerful tool, we have experienced that syncing large files is sometimes slow, which can affect operational efficiency.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • I will be honest I only tried this because I was fed up with what we were using before. Did not go in with high hopes. But the document and spreadsheet editors actually impressed me. Everything works the way you expect it to, files open clean, formatting does not go haywire when someone on a different tool sends you something. As someone who handles the IT side of things the self hosting option was something I really needed and it delivered. Getting the API connected was smoother than I anticipated too which was a nice surprise.
  • I like the ability of ONLYOFFICE Docs to create centered, professional-looking formal documents. As someone working in a law firm, this is a vital tool for preparing letters and account statements. I appreciate how easy it is to adjust margins and position text exactly where needed. The program also quickly recognizes formatting patterns such as indents and spacing changes, making document creation smoother and more consistent. Overall, everything appears well-structured and proportionate.
  • What I like most about ONLYOFFICE Docs is that it is almost free and accessible to everyone. It offers a wide range of tools, including spreadsheets, word processing, and presentations, making it a complete productivity suite.
  • ONLYOFFICE Docs made my teaching work much easier by helping me manage lesson plans, assignments, and presentations in one place. The editor feels lightweight, fast, and very similar to Microsoft Office, so there was almost no learning curve. I also liked how accurately it handled formatting when opening DOCX and PPT files shared by other teachers. Collaboration features are simple and useful during group projects and faculty coordination. Their customer support was quick and polite when I needed assistance, which gave a very professional experience overall.
  • I like most of the features in ONLYOFFICE Docs, but one of its most useful and impressive aspects is that it is easy to learn and use.
  • I have found that ONLYOFFICE Docs has made the process of editing and exporting documents easier than ever without the need for multiple extra tools. During my remote work, the PDF editing capability has also been very useful.
  • ONLYOFFICE Docs is affordable and continuously improves its services and features. It also supports the creation of documents in a wide variety of formats.
  • ONLYOFFICE Docs is easy to use and works smoothly for document editing and team collaboration. I liked the clean interface and compatibility with Microsoft Office files. It helped our event team manage schedules and reports efficiently.
  • ONLYOFFICE Docs offers a wide range of features and formatting options, making it easier to create and customize documents exactly the way I want
  • ONLYOFFICE Docs is simple to use and very helpful for managing event schedules, reports, and team collaboration. Real-time editing and good file compatibility make daily work faster and more organized.
