A new way of working
Impressed. Very stable product, dont think I've come across a single problem in day to day use. I rely on the software everyday and in over 18 months of usage, its never let me down. The app supports a broad range of enterprise apps, and so it has now become my central tool that I use every day. Chrome (and others) are now relegated to the casual web browsing tool, that they were always meant to be.
PROSOvercomes all of the limitations of using a general purpose browser, such as Edge or Chrome, and provides a single "work in a box" environment. When I start up the application, I know that I have all of my web based enterprise apps loaded and ready to go. The app gives me the ability to operate multiple, independent personas (i.e. running multiple Gmail accounts) without having to log-in or log-out in order to switch.
CONSWould like to see more features around the personas (i.e. I use several different apps in relation to one persona and it would be nice to see a set of apps linked together in support of a single persona).
Reasons for switching to Focos
Browsers are general purpose web tools, and never really intended for day to day, focused work. This app takes the browser to the next level and provides a secure, focused working environment.
Vendor Response
Hi Chris, Appreciate your comments, great to see the productivity benefits you are getting from the product! Thanks for your feedback about the persona grouping, expect to see that soon, we want to ensure user experience remains paramount as we add features. Best wishes, WFHBOX Team.

In general, it is nice to receive notifications about changes or e-mails that occur in some accounts that I am logged into in this software and inform me.
CONSIt doesn't have too many bad features, obviously. I can only say that it is open to development. Also, it used to have a lot of bugs, but it's better now
Reasons for switching to Focos
It's nice to use new or undiscovered software from time to time.
Vendor Response
Hi Nurullah, Thanks for your review, we're happy to hear you are enjoying Focos, and appreciate your feedback. Team Focos.

Review of wfhbox
My daily work involves a wide range of activities, including internal management, CRM-based activity, and the use of a wide range of applications. I feel WFHBOX and similar solutions can help to improve business performance and help users to manage their different software and applications more effectively.
PROSI found the installation and set-up extremely easy, and very intuitive in terms of connecting to specific apps via a pre-loaded menu. The navigation bar is extremely user friendly, enabling the user to jump easily between different apps. The fantastic thing about WFHBOX is it eliminates the need to have multiple applications and windows open at a single time, helping to prevent my PC from slowing down and boosting productivity considerably. The software integrates seamlessly with all the apps and platforms I use on a day-to-day basis.
CONSThere were a few bugs here and there, so as some difficulties with Google logins. It would perhaps be good to expand the list of pre-loaded app options, as there were a few we use that weren't available and needed to be set-up manually (Formsite, People HR, ClearReview, WeTransfer). Having clearly identifiable App logos is much easier, so the more pre-loaded apps there are the better the user experience (or perhaps having option to customise the icons). I also wondered whether the WFHBOX logo should be moved away from the App navigation bar as it is a bit of a distraction.
Vendor Response
Hi Mark, Happy to hear you found the set-up and use of our product as extremely user-friendly! Thanks for your feedback and yes we're also adding more apps as you mentioned. Best wishes.

If you are seeking how to streamline your team's work, you're in the right place
Our use of SaaS apps has been going up, even more so now with work from home. We wanted to provide our teams with a solution from which they can launch and use all the apps in streamlined and safe way.
PROSWas super easy to setup for my team. Customized workspace, + predefines technology stack for collaboration. Finally whole team is communicating in the same place. Even tho it's virtual.
CONSNot all the app i'm using are currently in system. More apps would be nice. More data on apps usage would help analyze my team activity.
Reason for choosing Focos
Easy to setup, easy to use, new and promising.

We were looking for a platform to help bring our teams together whilst working remotely as we're doing much more of that now.

A simple to use time-saver in the battle against browser tabs
A really handy tool that saves me time and organisations my information far more effectively. I'm getting less distracted by 25 open tabs, a problem that had initially got worse with increased home working.
PROSThe user interface is slick, and makes it much easier to find my apps than Chrome
CONSThere are some features that that could definitely help even more in the future - hopefully they are on the roadmap
Reasons for switching to Focos
Although it's lower on features, the user interface is better
Vendor Response
Hey, Nice to hear you are loving the user experience, we will certainly be adding functionality whilst ensuring we do not bloat the product experience. Best wishes, WFHBOX Team.

Email notifications are very nice. My overall experience is also on a positive level. The minimum system requirements are also quite adequate.
CONSI am encountering errors when logging into some sites. I think these bugs are software related. It would be nice if they fix this
Reasons for switching to Focos
Because I need to use more than one web browser
Vendor Response
Dear Eyup, Thanks for your valuable feedback, we appreciate it. Glad your overall experience of Focos has been good. We are continuing to resolve some apps which are working differently. Thanks, Focos Team.

I use it every day!
It really helps me keep my customer environments separate and in my role that is the real win.
PROSI work as a consultant and need different environments for my different customers. In the browser it's a nightmare of switching login all the time. In WFHBox, I can simply have separate apps for each of my customers. Easy.
CONSI'd like support for browser tabs and for grouping apps into 'session groups' so that links from one app to the other worked without requiring multiple logins.
Reason for choosing Focos
Clean UI: Wavebox is powerful, but messy

Hi Tony, Glad you like the user experience of our product! Thanks for your feedback on grouping apps, its on our roadmap! Best Wishes.

Provides better communication and collaboration platform to my remote colleagues
We’re a remote first company and in that regard wanted to ensure our team members have access to all their SaaS apps in one dedicated workspace. I was the "Guinea Pig" within the business and I'll be recommend others adopt it.
PROSThe simplicity of the platform is why I've stayed with WFHbox beyond the initial free trial. Initially I was sceptical about whether this would add value but once I got used to it and integrated the app's I use daily, it became a breeze and get so much more done.
CONSNone really other than I'd like to see multiple apps in groups for ease of use in the future.

My inbox hub!
Easy and simple. Like having my iphone but on a big screen! I can access all my email, messaging and documents from one hub. I have seven inboxes and four messaging platforms, so this really does make like simple. All logged on and ready to use.
PROSEasy to install, then about ten minutes to set up my various inboxes and then all working. Really helped my issues of having to sign out of my two Microsoft Outlook accounts , or having multiple tabs open on my browser.
CONSNothing negative at this point to report.

Everything in one place
wfhbox has really improved my efficiency switching between the various apps on my PC.
PROSI love that I can have all of my standard apps open in one place rather than having several windows and browser tabs open. This has a huge impact on my productivity.
