(1-4 of 4)Meets basic needs, but not the best in the market
- Update emails notifying users of new uploads
- Basic folder organization
- Uploading is easy and intuitive
- Identifying new uploads on the merrill website
- Times out users too quickly
- Searching all documents; poor functionality
- Streamline document sharing
- Slows down diligence efforts when it's difficult to identify new documents
- Fair pricing
- Monitor users activity
- Selectively allow which files certain users see
- Too expensive
- Transparency with pricing as data is added to the data room.
- We have successfully closed three financing on time while using the product.
- We successfully ran a business development international out-license process to completion.
Best in class system that keeps getting better
- 24/7 help desk is the top differentiator. Every help desk agent I've interacted with has really known the product end to end.
- Cross-platform compatible with no plug-ins, software downloads needed.
- Beautiful UI, looks very professional
- Reporting at the page level (with timestamps)
- Small issue, but the ability to replace a file to an unpublished state.
- Ability to clone security profiles.
- Mobile app development.
- 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.
Merrill DatasiteOne is a great datasite
- Automatic text recognition on uploaded files (including PDFs).
- Search: when combined with the text recognition on files, this creates a powerful search feature that allows you to search for content within all of the uploaded files.
- E-mail updates, when new files have been uploaded.
- Frankly, I can't think of any missing features or things that need to be improved. From the perspective of the user who is reviewing documents, it works quite well.
Merrill Datasite is less well suited to smaller transactions -- for smaller transactions, it might make more sense to just deliver the due diligence documents by USB or e-mail.
Similarly, Merrill Datasite does not appear to be as well suited for collaboration (sharing files between two or three organizations that are working collaboratively). Dropbox seems to be a more common way to solve this type of issue.
- Merrill DatasiteOne has had a positive impact by allowing us to review large amounts of documents under tight timelines.
- Really it is just a tool to serve the larger business objective of completing due diligence for our clients.
- I don't think I've ever had a negative experience when the target has elected to use Merrill DatasiteOne for their datasite.
