Stop Paying Rent on Data You Already Own
Govern 365 is the only Intralinks alternative that provides Unlimited Users. Unlimited Data. One Flat Fee.
The “VDR Tax” is Costing You Thousands.
Legacy VDRs like Intralinks operate on a scarcity model. They charge you for every page you upload, every user you invite, and every month you keep a deal open. Then, they hold your data hostage with “Archive Fees” long after the deal closes.
See how much you can reclaim by switching to a VDR that is native to your Microsoft 365 environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Intralinks uses custom-quoted, per-page or per-volume pricing – typically around $0.60 per page, with extra fees for users, deal extensions, and post-close archiving. A 10 GB transaction can run into six figures annually. Govern 365 is a flat subscription with unlimited users, unlimited storage, and no archive fees, layered on the Microsoft 365 capacity you already pay for. The cost gap widens with every additional deal and every year a closed deal stays on file.
Technically yes – you can export documents, audit logs, and Q&A from Intralinks and re-stand-up the deal in a Govern 365 SharePoint Data Room. In practice, mid-deal switches disrupt bidders and audit continuity, so most teams don’t do it. The far more common path is to close the current deal in the existing VDR and start the next one on Govern 365, where every subsequent transaction runs at no per-deal cost.
Because deal content stays in your Microsoft 365 tenant, the certifications that govern your data are Microsoft 365’s – including ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, SOC 1/2/3, FedRAMP High, HIPAA, HITRUST, GDPR, PCI DSS, and a long list of financial-services and government frameworks. That footprint is at least equivalent to Intralinks on the headline standards and broader on government and global financial regulators. Govern 365 itself, as a zero-knowledge governance layer, SOC2 certification is underway slated for H1 2026.
Yes. The underlying platform is SharePoint Online, which already runs the document workloads of the Fortune 500 at far greater scale than any single transaction requires. Microsoft 365 provides the security and certification posture, and Govern 365 adds the deal-grade controls – DRM, watermarking, bidder groups, Q&A workflow, deal-context audit, and lifecycle automation. The one scenario where a stand-alone VDR may still apply is when a sell-side advisor mandates a specific platform as part of their standard process.
Intralinks ships DealCentre AI with AI redaction, document summarization, categorization, and a conversational assistant (“Ask Link”). Govern 365 AI capabilities are slated to be released in May/June 2026.
