My digital filing cabinet & more!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julie M. | H, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Box Shield?** I like everything! I like best because I can have everything that used to be on paper in one place. I can also make folders private or choose who I allow to share them with, which is beyond impressive for privacy or confidential information. I can also have anyone in or outside of our company upload files and documents to the folder of my choosing, which also is great for having someone send confidential information that should not want to be sent over email. **What do you dislike about Box Shield?** I have not found a downside as of yet! So far we have only solved issues with Box Shield and not encountered them. We have not come across an area we feel has not addressed our needs. Usually I have suggestions or ideas of how to make something better or easier, however, with Box we are crushing our issues!!! **What problems is Box Shield solving and how is that benefiting you?** So many problems have been solved with this program! We have moved 18 years' worth of documents into a digital format with Box Shield. We have been able to go completely digital in today's world, which is very important! We have solved the dilemma of access to documents when working from home. We were thrown into that during the height of the pandemic. At first, we had to keep one person in the office in case someone needed access to something that was not yet digitized. We were able to get everything we needed to be uploaded and in the appropriate folders very quickly. We have storage folders with information clients can also access as needed. ### 2. Very good for sharing files and documents in a more secure way. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gary C. | Senior Human Resources Recruiter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 07, 2020 **What do you like best about Box Shield?** I like that it makes sharing files and documents safer and has a traceability of "who is shared" and "with whom it is shared." It also has content controls that give some freedom and, at the same time, security to make sharing processes inside and outside the company less worrying. **What do you dislike about Box Shield?** Price is not a negative thing, but it should be evaluated by small and medium-sized companies and related to its possible benefits **What problems is Box Shield solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is advantageous to have an extra layer in the security of the files that are shared on the network, especially when they are documents or elements that must have a certain degree of confidentiality, thus avoiding information leakage, duplication or original copies of projects, invoices or any item that must have a limited range of sharing ## Box Shield Discussions - [What is Box Shield used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-box-shield-used-for) - [View Box Shield pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/box-shield/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+13%3A19%3A15+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=428fbdc9-0477-4b2a-b32e-8126f89c3776&secure%5Btoken%5D=f93cedf9d1415a9a7d5ea5267c94e6ef4bb235b41c5cc0ed911a4520a0f5ea7b&format=llm_user) ## Box Shield Features **Administration** - Data Management - Incident Logs - Reporting **Compliance** - Access Management - At-Risk Analysis - DLP Configuration - Sensitive Data Compliance **Governance** - Access Control - Compliance - Data Visibility **Administration** - Database Management - Deduplication - Backup - API / integrations **Security** - Encryption - Endpoint Intelligence - Activity Monitoring - Breach Detection **Security ** - Multi-Factor Authentication - Data Transport - Data Types - Security Tools ## Top Box Shield Alternatives - [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/veeam-data-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (676 reviews) - [Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)](https://www.g2.com/products/check-point-next-generation-firewalls-ngfws/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (502 reviews) - [Paubox](https://www.g2.com/products/paubox/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (549 reviews)
