    Considered Both Products
    Datasite
    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    Our primary VDR provider is Firmex. We like its UX, pre-post customer care experience, and overall ease of usability.

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    The indexing, file structure and document viewing are better in Datasite than each of the others. It's also easier to download or open documents in a new tab (vs. in browser) and easier to search and do targeted bulk downloads in Datasite.

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    Much easier to navigate folders and data within the specific projects. The data rooms mentioned above sometimes only allow for one download at a time which significantly bogs down our team members. Datasite does a great job of allowing users to quickly review and download data …

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    They are all very similar. Straightforward use case. The most important factor is price. We usually go with the cheapest option of the same vendor as the client. No site has a better function than the other. The sites and data rooms all work as intended to help manage the M&A …

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    I always prefer Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room because of the user interface and ease of use. It provides the most seamless experience out of all of them and removes any concerns that the data room will cause us any challenges in the process.

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    I think Intralinks is the closest competitor. Relative to the rest of the providers (outside of Intralinks), Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room is easier to use and more reliable.

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    Most of the time we do not have an option to select one data site over the other -- that's chosen by the target internally, and the lawyers just have to use it. Most of the major data room sites tend to have pretty similar features, so while I think Merrill DatasiteOne is …

    Chose Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room
    I prefer Firmex. They have a strong search function and a user interface that makes it easy to identify new documents. Merrill is robust and offers the same basic tools, but I find its interface less intuitive.

    Firmex
    Chose Firmex Virtual Data Room
    I think Firmex stacks up well with Merrill DatasiteOne, and I do not really have a preference between the two. Likewise, there are other data room services out there, and the good ones generally work pretty much the same, and I do not really have a favorite (this coming from …

    Chose Firmex Virtual Data Room
    I think Firmex has one of the best visual displays -- I like its basic user interface a lot. It's easy to recommend that clients use it who have no prior datasite experience because they onboard quickly. It is far more intuitive than Dropbox and has more organizational …
