What differentiates Box from other similar products?

Box provision for collecting signatures electronically is one of the things, which differentiates it from similar products. I must also point out the enterprise grade-level security provisions that comes with Box , which is essential for safe storage of critical or sensitive work files.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The fact that Box allows me share files with non-Box users, without them even needing to have a Box account or access to a Box software. Another important aspect of my experience with Box so far, is the Box relay feature. This feature is critical to our positive experience with Box and we are utilizing it to create and automate workflow processes for streamlined content collaboration and accelerated completion of simple day to day, operational tasks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

No unlimited file versioning option available for users. At the moment , we are limited to twenty-five versions per saved file. Likewise, I sometimes struggle to upload files through the Box app for Android device. This infact is a regular occurrence as I have seen similar complaints on the Box Android app.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Accessing critical work files from all locations , through different devices is a critical provision for the day to day operational success of businesses. Box is the tool , I will recommend to accomplish the above.
