Box Claims to be a Better SharePoint
April 18, 2014
SharePoint has an increasing amount of competition in both the mobile and collaboration market spaces. And while most services cannot complete with SharePoint as a complete solution, they do pinpoint select functions in which they believe they can out-perform SharePoint. Read more about Box and how they view their role in the competition in the article, “Box CEO: ‘We’re Sort of Like Microsoft SharePoint Done Right.’”
“Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie on Tuesday took a swipe at Microsoft (MSFT), one of his company’s main competitors in the cloud-based collaboration software market space. During a cloud leadership panel at the Ingram Micro (IM) 2014 Cloud Summit in Hollywood, Fla., Levie promoted the Box platform to more than 1,000 channel partners in attendance by comparing it to Microsoft SharePoint.”
Stephen E. Arnold has made a career out of tracking and reporting on all things search on ArnoldIT.com. SharePoint has become a particular point of interest and is often covered. His findings do prove that users want an improved experience that many smaller solutions can offer, but the drawback to smaller solutions is having to patch together a lot of pieces to even come close to the comprehensiveness of SharePoint.
