Overall a great way to share data and keep it secure. Also love the desktop version so I can access things from there as needed.

Great to securely store and share files, ease of use, customer service is excellent, very niche features, Value for money.

A great place to keep all your files, good for collaboration between multiple employees, recommend using the box sync app to quickly move files around with ease.

It's easy to set up, and the fact that it has a desktop version is great. The drag-and-drop ability is intuitive and exactly what a user would expect.

Box is great for team collaboration, BoxSync makes it even better, and accessible from any computer. With Box you can seamlessly store and retrieve files from around your company.

Box can crash randomly and can be a bit confusing to use for first time users.

Box is great for a low budget company and also when you are looking for something a bit specific to your needs.

Box's partner friendly/integration friendly philosophy positioned itself perfectly for the current and future state of business software.

Ability to save and attach documents via email. The ability to work collaboratively with files for example ability to share and update documents.

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.

The benefits have been outstanding. The cost verses the value is incredible, it has great security, and it has great ease of use.

Providing clear API documentation. Quick technical support.

E-Signature make it more secure and Integration with lot of apps is wonderful. The cost and price is very reasonable and economical compared to the many features it provides to the user.

Really great tool that makes life at the office better. It has a fun interface that is intuitive and works.

It isn't limited by this fact, however, and can be as advanced as you want it to be. The ability to password protect links is great.

During the trial days in which I use this service, my experience with the product has been good and satisfactory. It is a very good alternative to other similar services.

The app makes really easy to safely store files and access then anytime. To me this is the most important and desirable feature an app like this should have.

I liked being able to share documents with other people super easily. It was great for group projects I was working on.

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.

I can get lost of what I’m trying to find if there is a lot in the folder.

Overall I think it's a great system. Feels good knowing that all our content is backed up and accessible to the entire team at any point.

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).

The software is versatile and users pick up the management quickly. Pricing is very competitive and support has always been responsive.

Great idea, great software, flawless integration I am loving it.

I'm big on systems being intuitive and not requiring tutorials for basic functionality. I like to jump right in and if I get frustrated, ask for help or look for something better.

Some devices do not allow opening a web console but this is a limitation of the device rather than the signage software.

We have had a bulletin board for years that nobody looks at but people are drawn to the digital signage. We are able to communicate key messages in our church hall and people pay attention.

Intuitive software with fantastic customer service.

PDS is awesome software. Easy to use , great support  system.

I also love the variety of devices that can be used as players instead of being forced into a proprietary solution.

Play offers an incredibly robust product at the absolute best price-point available.

The WebCam pages are very erratic in their design approaches, but I was able to get them sorted out, PLUS YouTube and Facebook integration - AMAZING.

It's the most intuitive and user-friendly software we've used. The editing capabilities and plugins make it easy for us to display various forms of content on our screens.

We can easily push updates to the screens which means we are more likely to keep them up to date. The 1st screen free deal is great and for our other screens they offer a NFP discount which is nice.

Integrated with other composition products such as Google Slides. Produces a solution that runs on inexpensive controllers.

I only had a problem with one screen that didn't update contents but I reinstalled it and the problem was solved (I guess there was a wifi connection issue, nothing to do with the software).

The best part is there is not a hundred different settings you HAVE to set up every time you want to change a display.

And being able to have a fully functional software with no annual fee is the best for us. Having access to a support chat that will answer simple questions is over the moon awesome.

The customer service was super helpful with troubleshooting and with some features that we didn't know how to use. I would totally recommend it.

So many great options and ways to make your content come to life. Best of all, you don't need to be an expert to figure out how to make it work.

The only con I have run into is that when setting up a schedule and you if you want to say put up the same 5 min playlist every hour there is no button for that.

Great bit of software - didn't expect it to be this good.

Screens and playlists are easy to create. I had an issue with some scripting for a login and support was fantastic in working with me to get the script working, fantastic experience.

Other solutions were very rigid in the layouts they supported and the ability to share assets between different sign layouts. Plus the price is great.

The software is very easy to use, but the services are outstanding. Helping me right away and keeps on helping until the problem is solved.

The software is really easy to use - I taught the club pro to use in in less than 5 minutes (no exaggeration!). Easy configuration and easy deployment - what more can you ask for.
