Blackberry WatchDox data room review

WatchDox was founded in 2007 as secure document storage with a focus on mobile device accessibility. The company is headquartered in the “Silicon Valley” in Palo Alto, California, USA. In 2015, Watchdox was acquired by Blackberry, a wireless communication provider, and started positioning itself as a collaborative file-sharing platform.

Blackberry WatchDox caters to small, medium, and large-sized companies. The provider’s primary focus areas are real estate and legal firms.

A WatchDox data room holds the upper hand in several technological segments due to Blackberry’s legacy in the field. There is an option for the users to get WatchDox for Windows and Mac, as well as take advantage of mobile access via iOS and Android apps. WatchDox Blackberry also offers instruments for quick, minimal-damage ransomware recovery.

According to WatchDox review comments, the biggest advantage of Blackberry Workspaces is enhanced security. WatchDox offers granular user permissions beyond firewall file tracking and 256-bit encryption. Users can choose to deny access to files or destroy them even after having been downloaded.

The WatchDox data room support team is available via phone or email. Some users claim that the response time might be longer than expected.
