FirmRoom vs. Worldox

This is a great data room for a simple transaction. It does not offer all of the bells and whistles like some data rooms--but the price point is a fraction of what those data rooms cost. And I think this is a great solution for an M&A project. I'm not sure it would be as good for tracking what users viewed a document or how long--although in all honesty, I didn't see such features. These days, most clients want to try and use Dropbox or Google Docs and I feel that firm room is a far superior solution to those often-used choices and the price point is not very painful and does not decrease the attractiveness of the offering.

Ease of navigation is probably the top seller for me. I might work on a dozen or more separate files per day and I need to be able to switch between files efficiently, especially when asked to find something quickly. Naming conventions are simple and easy to use. Searching for a document, even when there are hundreds, is pretty simple and straight forward.

A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

• Securely Store Documents
• Customizable Permissions
• Organize Files

• Forced structure via hooking into every day applications and producing Worldox Open and Save constructs versus the standard application Open and Save menus.
• Extreme customization options including cabinets, folders, and document types.
• The indexing system is very useful for locating documents by name, body, date, etc.

• There is some latency in loading larger documents. So sometimes it wasn't quite as quick as I would have liked.

• Cloud product is a little lacking
• Little bit of learning curve out of the box
• For a larger organization, may need to dedicate a resource to manage the program

Worldox is one of the easiest and user-friendly programs for document management systems that I have ever used. It is incredibly easy to create a document and then there are multiple ways to find a document. You can search by unique document ID numbers, document titles, and keywords within documents

In expensive cost and simple design. There was basically no onboarding needed and you can sign up for yourself online. Security standards are similar to other M&A data rooms, but pricing is much less expensive. Never have to worry about permissions when adding new users to the virtual data room.

Better due to the depth of document preservation options.

• Much less expensive than per page data rooms
• Can view documents quicker with the in-platform viewer
• Almost no training required which saves me time when inviting new users

• Greatly improved productivity for users via searching, favorites, and forced organization.
• Versioning and document preview can also improve productivity versus opening individual files.
• Can require a "revolutionary" change in the workflow as the application's Open and Save prompts are radically different than normal application usage.
