DealRoom is one of the top VDR providers out there !

Pros

  • Folder Structure is easy to navigate. Interface refreshes only when you need it to. Saves time
  • Finding latest uploaded documents is very easy
  • Can print out folder index very easily
  • Download packaging is well designed and is generally faster than other VDRs

Cons

  • I would like a drag and drop interface for printing out folder structure. It is just easy to do it on your own rather than using the default option
  • Preview feature for documents should be available. Saves a ton of time !
  • Ask me to download if I am clicking on a link. Do not start download immediately

Return on Investment

  • We have managed to deliver engagements smoothly. Can't quantify ROI as such
