DealRoom vs. PitchBook

Well suited for projects where a large number of files need to be securely exchanged with clients. Not very suitable if the engagement does not involve heavy data exchange. We have used it in multiple M&A and due diligence projects and it works like a charm. I strongly recommend DealRoom

If you are a company or an individual that needs reliable information about SMEs or startups, this is the best platform for you to get this information in a very efficient way. If you are just doing a basic due diligence to see active VC funds, figuring out valuations or companies in one industry, or just getting general information about an industry, it is probably better to get it from somewhere else on the internet. The reasoning behind it is that PitchBook is very expensive as opposed to other options out there.

• Fixed cost pricing is unique and refreshing. Saves headache and worry throughout the process and with the client.
• Internal Diligence Tracking through the requests feature is a game-changer. Prevents inefficient excel trackers and unnecessary emails throughout the process.
• GUI and interface are clean and easy to use.
• Customer support and response to inquires is timely and helpful.

• Tools for data analysis, idea generation, and workflow management.
• Easy access to trusted news, data, analytics and insights.
• Industry sector specific metrics and analytics to inform decision-making.

• DealRoom doesn't currently have an option for automatic weekly user analytics. I hope to see this feature implemented soon.
• The software is easy to use, as mentioned before, however, utilizing the setting buttons for folder structures can be difficult to understand at first.

• Can be glitchy when loading
• Contact information can be inaccurate
• Typically a day or two late to real time news and deals

DealRoom is very easy to use and has a clear interface and all the features we needed.

It was the most intuitive data room platform that i used in my work

Support is very friendly and answers fast.

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

DealRoom provides a superior product. We select DealRoom for most of our engagements mostly due to the advanced Due Diligence capabilities that it provides. However, the ease of use, speed, and simplicity of the product are also factors that inspire us to choose DealRoom as our "go-to" provider.

We actually use both. CBInsights we use more regularly for market capture, and PitchBook when we are actively seeking acquisitions.

• It helped us manage documents and share info between our firm and the potential investors and clients. And also helped to manage internal processes and keep an eye on everything in the company.

• Saved us from investing with an incorrect valuation (multiple times)
• You need to pay per license per user. It is definitely expensive for a small accelerator.
