Datasite Is Best

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

April 24, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The business problems that the product addresses are the need to evaluate deals in the M&A space and have a secure data room for evaluation of these companies. We use the Datasite Digital Virtual Data Room (VDR) feature as buyers, downloading the initial VDR and then downloading any incremental files uploaded by the bankers on the sellside.

Pros

Organization of folders and ease of downloading key files
Well-organized system to update buyers on incremental files uploaded
Great interactive Q&A feature to help buyers get answers to key diligence questions

Cons

Better search feature within the VDR for certain files
Logging in after a session expiration should take you back to the sub-site you were on before

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a buyer looking to facilitate diligence on a deal, Datasite is the best VDR provider to be able to see key files, download an index to sort through key files, get questions answered, and generally enable easy communication between the sellside and buyside parties on a deal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use datasite to share information as we evaluate potential M&A transactions. We find it is a great way to organize everything in one place, and to act as the single source of truth for information that has been shared by multiple parties. In some cases, we'll use the VDR to store information internally when multiple stakeholders are involved in the aggregation of information.

Pros

Organization
File storage
Ease of use

Cons

User experience / design flow
Reporting
Cost

Likelihood to Recommend

It is one of the most stable / well-rounded VDR platforms out there.
