How to be reviewed by ClearBox
Our review process is open, structured and impartial. Vendors bring the demos and context – we bring a consistent framework, experienced reviewers, and a commitment to producing fair, transparent, evidence-based assessments.
It’s a process that gives buyers confidence – and gives your product the chance to be understood properly.
Why vendors choose ClearBox
Being reviewed by ClearBox means joining a report trusted by organisations around the world. Our reviews are independent, detailed and shaped around real business scenarios, not feature tick-lists.
Buyers tell us they rely on our work to save weeks of research. Vendors tell us our insights help shape their roadmaps. Consultancies and investors use the report to support their own recommendations.
If you want your platform to be visible in that decision-making space, this is the route.
Who we include (and why)
We intentionally keep the list of reviewed products tight. That means any platform included is there because it stands out in ways buyers value.
When deciding which products to include, we look at:
- Maturity – a product or vendor with a solid reputation and a track record with customers
- Innovation – features or approaches that stand out in the marketplace
- Understanding – how clearly the product’s capabilities, benefits and case studies are presented on the vendor’s website
- Experience – what we see during demonstrations and our experience of working with the vendor
- Activities – participation in the wider industry, such as webinars, white papers or blog posts
- Presence – overall market presence and visibility
These factors help us ensure the report features the products we believe should be on readers’ shortlists.
Two ways to take part
1. Full Review
A deep dive designed for vendors who want their product explored in full.
It includes a three-hour demo, around 25 pages of detailed analysis, scenario-based scoring, non-functional requirements, product highlights and a 12-month licence – plus an extract of your review that you can use directly in your sales cycle.
2. Product Overview
A lighter option. You provide a standard 90-minute demo and we’ll produce a concise overview covering key information, non-functional requirements and a “ClearBox view” summary. You also have the option to receive an extract of your review and/or a 12-month licence of your overview content.

Our Independence
ClearBox has no reseller relationships, no sponsorships, and no software to sell. Our reviews highlight both strengths and areas for improvement, and every score is based on a consistent scenario framework used across all products.
That independence is central to how we work – and why buyers, analysts and vendors trust the results.
