Box · Enterprise content management and sharing

Box review

Box is a general enterprise content management platform that many companies configure as an ad hoc data room using folder permissions and classification labels, valued for its extensive certification list but lacking dedicated fundraising diligence tooling.

What it does well

  • +An extensive certification portfolio, including ISO 27001 and FedRAMP on eligible tiers, suits regulated industries with strict vendor security review processes.
  • +Granular classification and retention policies allow legal and compliance teams to apply consistent rules across a shared external folder.
  • +Integrations with a wide range of business applications mean Box can sit inside an existing enterprise workflow rather than requiring a separate tool.

Where it falls short

  • −Box was not built specifically as a due diligence room, so it lacks native investor facing analytics, watermarking on view and NDA gating found in dedicated VDR products.
  • −Configuring it correctly for a formal data room use case requires more administrative setup than a purpose built alternative.

Pricing

Box Business starts at roughly $20 per user per month with a minimum seat count, while Business Plus and Enterprise plans cost more and add advanced governance, security and storage features.

Security and compliance

Box publishes a broad set of certifications including ISO 27001, SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3, with HIPAA support and FedRAMP authorisation available on specific government focused tiers.
