Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room vs. SS&C Intralinks DealCentre

For any deal diligence / private equity investment activity, Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room is one of the best providers. The website is easy to use, it has all the features of the top competitors, it is secure, and it is priced in line with its competitors. I would highly recommend Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room to any PE or VC investor.

Very well suited for data room usage. Great for project based work where you have a specific group of people who are located worldwide that you want to collaborate with together. Very useful for sharing large documents with virtually anyone. Probably not appropriate or useful for small group or one on one usage involving documents that can be easily emailed (smaller in size).

• Quick preview of document content is something I love! It lets me decide whether the file is relevant to our purposes or not instantly.
• Navigating through the folders is also very easy, and the website is also responsive without any lag/stutter.
• Although I don't use the feature due to confidentiality reasons, quick translate option is a really great addition to the tool.
• Many datarooms can only show excel documents as PDFs for a quick preview. I like the way Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room has Excel online handler to view the file. This is so helpful!

• Workspace creation
• Security at granular level

• More interaction with data room admins. Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room has some of these features, not they are not easily accessible. Instead of emailing the bankers when we need something in the dataroom, it would be nice to request it directly in the portal.

• Drag/Drop of documents directly from emails (this seems to be common among data room type software)

Excellent product, easy to use, and very clean and professional. It makes the data requesting and downloading process seamless.

It's very intuitive, and I can see people getting up to speed quickly. There does need to be a client mode where they can have all of the access of a project admin (prep folders, etc.) except not post anything to external parties, as I've had clients do that, and it was very dangerous. However, we need them to see the Sandbox.

Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room is much better in terms of an interface — very way to use which saves a lot of time. The biggest advantage is permissioning and the ease of doing that. Personally, have made much more mistakes with the other solutions due to complicated navigation of permissioning and the time it takes to get it right.

Intralinks is more robust and has a more professional user interface. I use both products but I would default to intralinks if it was an important project involving outside resources or partners. Box I feel is perfectly suitable for internal projects that involve department members or multiple company departments

There is a bulk download, and it appears there is a bulk upload which makes it easier to get multiple files onto the platform when needed.

• Big time saver on having one data room (instead of a shared folder for each party). Private equity and strategic buyers all know the tool well, so they appreciate if you choose this top solution.
• Mitigating against the unknown security event or reps/warranties dispute is the big ROI if either should happen. With the advanced reporting, your team has airtight proof that the relevant info was disclosed and viewed.
• Really streamlines the administration end of content sharing. Like user provisioning, deprovisioning.

• Good desktop and web versions.
• Simplified basic file management.
