Cons
Merrill Corporation
  • Frankly, I can't think of any missing features or things that need to be improved. From the perspective of the user who is reviewing documents, it works quite well.

Usability
Merrill Corporation
Very intuitive system, mostly drag and drop. There are ample opportunities for user and admin training with the Merrill staff as well.

Return on Investment
Merrill Corporation
  • Merrill DatasiteOne has had a positive impact by allowing us to review large amounts of documents under tight timelines.
  • Really it is just a tool to serve the larger business objective of completing due diligence for our clients.
