Pros

“As a physiotherapist working in Canada, I use it regularly for documentation, organizing patient-related information, creating reports, and managing day-to-day work tasks.”

Physiotherapist

“Microsoft 365 is a reliable service that integrates email, file storage that can be shared, and other apps that allow for customization/editing or creating files and while also being able to collaborate with others.”

Clyde W.

System Adminstrator

“I enjoy real time co authoring in Word and Excel, the ability to edit same paragraph together at the same time without any issue. When we are on large project the direct video conferencing feature in Teams ensures our day to day work moves forward smoothly.”
OK

Olesya K.

CTO

Pros

“The folder permissions are good for when we have to share certain docs with clients or freelancers without letting them see everything else. Plus, version history has saved us a few times already whenever someone accidentally overwrote a file.”
PP

Pritam P.

Early Childhood Educator

“It offers strong collaboration features, version history, and advanced security controls, making it a great choice for businesses and teams working on shared documents.”
VC

Viergela C.

Aba

“An optimal choice for cloud storage, the one stop place for collaborating on various documentation (including versioning). While I'm using Box both within the organization, and also for personal usage, I find it suitable and easy to use for document management, for accessing older versions when needed, and for syncing with local Box Drive.”

Data Visualization

Cons

“The platform is used to manage our day to day activities from attendance to parent contact. Although not happy about the annual increases in prices, the change is too disruptive now.”
KR

Katherine R.

School Administrator

“OneDrive syncing occasionally causes duplicate or conflicted files if several users are editing documents at the same time.”
VP

Valentin P.

Administration Manager

Cons

“I do not like how image/video storage works on box and the latency. If you are storing and sharing images and videos through box, it will take you a lot of time if you are looking for a specific image/video and clicking on each image, it takes so much time to load even with a very high speed internet.”
VK

Vatsal K.

Software Engineer Intern

“The interface can feel less intuitive than some competitors, and certain advanced features are only available on higher-priced plans.”
VC

Viergela C.

Aba

“There's an inefficient notification system, difficulties with integration and file sharing, limitations on file size, and a user interface that can feel dated sometimes.”
