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).

I like that it is user friendly and cost effective relative to alternatives. Also excellent customer service.

Happy to use the platform, but usually have way less connectivity with the reps vs. the other VDR providers who constantly reach out to us to set up events, etc.

Any time I have had an issue or needed help with something they are right there and respond immediately.

I love the ease of setting it up. Other products have more features as far as downloading and tracking, but everyone does bulk downloading so it is irrelevant.

The custom sharing platform which is secured and the visibility control for employees.

The ease of use and customer service rapid support.

I like how easy the software is to use, and how you can set all different levels of users, i.e people can only view documents and other cans download etc.

Attaching a newer version of a document can be difficult at times due to having to change the file name manually.

We have found Firmex to be a high value solution (low cost with decent functionality).

Very good experience; again, great customer service which was key to some time critical work several times, regardless of time of day or night.

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.

It is an essential service used for mid market m&a. Overall experience has been great, with exceptional customer service and ease of use.

Overall we are extremely pleased with our experience.

Integration into our company's needs was quick and easy.

Overall I've found Firmex support to be outstanding. You get answers quickly and they are helpful when dealing with our clients.

The product is very easy to use. Also has good collaboration features.

Importing and exporting documents can be problematic (e.g. files too large, titles too long).

Sometimes difficulty with users not receiving their invitation emails, the inability to assign different permission levels to different members within a group.

Ease of use, simple interface and very responsive customer service.

Easy to use, quality user support, priced right.

Functionality and ease of use relative to other offerings.

Easy to upload information and the customer service team is very quick to respond.

Creating folders once the main folder structure is set can be difficult.

The dataroom is easy to set up and easy to use.

Few cons, but select users have had trouble receiving Firmex automated emails due to spam filters.

For the price, this product is a fantastic value. Easy to use and has most of the features we need without all of the unnecessary functions that some other providers have added to their platforms.

Ease of use, reliability of system, implementation of innovative new features with each update, and of course the excellent customer service.

This is the easiest software to use and the data rooms are incredibly easy to set up, revise, navigate or set up Users.

Some of the features could be less of a hunt-and-find. Adding Users and editing their information with permissions can be hard to find sometimes.

We can control the share and track of the confidential documents.

Ease of use and functionality is the most positive attribute.

Overall, experience has been good and can really recommend.

Could add some additional document restriction features.
