Datasite
Datasite is well suited for organizing large quantities of a variety of documents into folders. It is not as well suited for Xcel, which generally requires downloading in order to review, but there are quick preview options for Word and PDF items.

Very user friendly. If you're already using M365 products it offers great integration! If you're using Azure AD it offers SSO for IAM and integrates nicely with Azure AD Groups which can then be used for Access management. As our IT / Azure Administrator, I particularly like the "sharing link" options where you can send a link with an expiration date and not have to remember to remove the link / access after a project / business case scenario is over.

Pros
Datasite
  • User-friendly interface. We download datarooms for a single deal over 30+ times per deal (as the dataroom gets updated), so the interface being easy to access / navigate is extremely important.
  • Features: Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room gives great tools beyond just downloading a dataroom. Easy notifications when something gets downloaded, two factor authentication, ability to search data room or filter for recently uploaded files, etc.
  • Organization: A lot of data rooms do not allow you to keep organized file paths. When you download a dataroom it often looses all the index folder names. Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room keeps files extremely organized and is always available.

  • All services are connected and switching between services is a breeze[.]
  • Solutions to the majority of everyday business problems.

Cons
Datasite
  • Major feature I noticed in other datarooms that's missing in Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room is bulk download feature. I can select multiple files/folders under a parent folder, however, I would like to be able to download selected files/folders from among multiple folders.
  • Another feature I'd love to see is a "New*" menu item in Q&A, just like we have in the Documents section correctly. I know I can still use the date to filter the latest answered questions, but having the "New" option makes it a lot easier to do a quick filter. My idea is that this option will show all activity that I haven't looked at since my last login, irrespective of date.

  • There are far too many good features to choose from, and advanced features are noticeably absent.
  • There is room for improvement in terms of integration with non-Microsoft products, as well as developer Story.
  • It is challenging to provide easier access via file explorer while also granting outside users and guests access.

It is my go to data room provider and I am super comfortable using it. I don't think I would want to use anything else since I can't trust them like I can trust Datasite

It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better.

Usability
Datasite
Tough to figure out at first but after using the platform for some time, you can get used to Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room pretty quickly. Would be great to have more of a tutorial up front to better be able to navigate the software, especially starting off as the data dealt with is sensitive.

No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths

Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers
  • Quick turnaround time for issues
  • A range of support services
  • Access to a network of resources
  • Escalation of issues
  • Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement
The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues.

The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing.

I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.

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.

The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.

  • Increased collaboration - MS Sharepoint has increased knowledge share and collaboration between departments. This saves time and energy because of its efficient and effective communication
  • Increased document security - MS Sharepoint has increased our document security so we're safer knowing that our documents are security and access controlled appropriately. We are less prone to get in trouble by our customers due to the security provided by MS Sharepoint
  • Negative Impact Compared to other software - Not sure if the MS Sharepoint's main functionalities could've been met with other tools we currently have
