Competitive Overview

Box® Besting SharePoint: Security, Mobility, Simplicity

As businesses wrestle with clunky information systems and an ever-extending mobile workplace, many knowledge workers resort to alternative tools for managing and sharing business content. Workers are shifting time away from desktop computers and bulky productivity software and are in turn demanding simple, mobile collaboration solutions.

Specifically, SharePoint users demand an easier way to collaborate with external vendors, clients and partners, from anywhere on any device. When the existing systems are inadequate, users bring in the tools they use at home to get their jobs done. As a result, confidential business content becomes dispersed across non-sanctioned consumer file sharing tools, creating IT headaches about security, governance and content access beyond the firewall.

Box gives end users a simple sharing solution that lets them get work done from anywhere, while providing IT with a powerful platform for managing and securing information. The end result: knowledge workers can easily, flexibly and securely share and collaborate on content, with anyone.

Key Differences Between Box and SharePoint Online

• Cross-Platform Mobile Access: From anywhere on any device, view content, make edits, give feedback via comments, share folders, send links to files, invite collaborators, sign documents and more, using Box’s native iPhone, iPad and Android apps or HTML5-powered mobile site. Boost on-the-go productivity even further with hundreds of third-party applications that securely integrate with Box on your mobile device.

• Secure Collaboration With Partners and Clients: Set up a secure workspace to easily share files externally with clients, vendors and partners, without issues around shared logins or firewall restrictions. Box offers seven levels of role-based permission controls, password-protected shared-links and shared-link expiration.

• Robust Enterprise-Grade Security: With Box’s admin console, track mobile device activity in the field and manage devices remotely with auto logout and locking. Box is a cloud security leader, featuring a 99.9% uptime guarantee, a SSAE16 Type II report, audit-trail reporting and 256-bit data encryption both in transfer and at rest.

• Seamless Partner Integrations: Box has an extensive network of partnerships that allow content on Box to extend to many other business applications, including Salesforce.com, Google Apps, Netsuite, Jive and more.

“ We use SharePoint as our internal intranet solution. Unfortunately it has a lot of limitations in terms of

sharing files internally and externally. Box has filled

the gap, not only in helping to transfer information

between our users but also to share with external users

on-the-fly.” Sean Andersen
