    DealRoom
    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

    Cons
    DealRoom
    • 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.

    • After installing the Chrome Plugin, LinkedIn is a bit slower than before
    • Pricing is okay, but import from Sales Navigator should be included in the Basic Package

    DealRoom
    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.
