Box named a Leader in Forrester’s 2021 Wave for Content Platforms
After a year of jam-packed product innovation and business milestones, we’re thrilled to announce that Box is a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Content Platforms, Q2 2021!
According to Forrester, “the enterprise content management (ECM) market continues its evolution to cloud-first, flexible, extensible platforms.” Further, Forrester states that “modern content platforms now dominate the vendor landscape, and customers continue a steady pace of migration to these platforms — away from aging, on-premises repositories.”
This couldn’t be more aligned with what we’re hearing from our customers. We have been laser-focused on helping organizations fundamentally rethink how they get work done. Rather than rearchitecting on-premises software in the cloud, we’ve reimagined the way people work together. And as a result, we’ve seen a significant shift in customers who are trading in their legacy software for our modern, cloud-first approach.
According to Forrester, “Box’s cloud content platform continues to deliver comprehensive content services designed to meet the needs of large, regulated enterprises — without taking its eye off usability.” As shown in the report, Box received 5/5 scores in 12 criteria, including product vision, collaboration, integrations and interoperability, content migration, developer support, and partner ecosystem. We believe these have established us as a leader in this space.

Box is the Content Cloud, a single, secure platform to manage the entire content journey – from the moment content is created, to when it’s uploaded, classified, automated, signed, retained and everything in between. Our product has been built out to deliver on every one of these capabilities, including most recently with the launch of All New Box Shuttle and the announcement of Box Sign, coming this summer.
This recognition from Forrester follows multiple years of success with the analyst community. We’re proud to share that Box has also been named a Leader in:
- Gartner’s 2020 Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms
- Gartner’s 2020 Customers’ Choice for Content Collaboration Tools
- Aragon Research’s 2020 Globe for Enterprise Content Platforms
- Nucleus Research’s 2020 Value Matrix for Content Sharing and Collaboration
- IDC’s 2019 MarketScape for Cloud-Content Applications
