Pros/Cons
Pros
- Really great tool that makes life at the office better. It has a fun interface that is intuitive and works.
- The Box interface is awesome, and i like the simplicity and good speed the software has in order to send files from any device to the box.
- I love Box's reliable and easy to use file sharing service. Box's secure software allows you to share important files with people inside and outside your company.
Cons
- The main disadvantage of this solution is related with the file sharing. It is a bit restricted and provokes some problems when downloading if the files are big (in the order of tens of GB).
- I have a problem that when i upload sometimes it stops and doesn’t go on, so i have to cancel and upload again.
- There is something very weird when I access Box with multiple devices, that it fails to automatically sync between them. It has caused a great deal of trouble for me.
Pros
- We've been using Firmex as our M&A data room for over 5 years and I'm always impressed with the platform, the company's constant improvement, and the amazing customer service.
- Easy setup, great documentation, amazing customer support, and provide reliability for clients.
- Easy to use, clean, organized well. It's a great tool to keep track of files in a shared but secure place.
Cons
- Sometimes difficulty with users not receiving their invitation emails, the inability to assign different permission levels to different members within a group.
- Attaching a newer version of a document can be difficult at times due to having to change the file name manually.
- Could add some additional document restriction features.
