Datasite VDR - The best-overall solution for transaction datarooms
Comments: Very very happy. Easy and intuitive to use. Would strongly recommend over any other alternative.
Pros:
1. Intuitive and ease of use: ability to "View As" a group is game-changing, and gives you peace of mind in ensuring that permissions are accurate and important sensitive data is shared correctly 2. Customer support: Very dedicated team
Cons:
All the below items are minor and do not change my preference for Datasite VDR 1. Speed of bulk uploads: can be a bit faster

Quality data room option
Pros:
Datasite offers a safe and secure environment where we can share sensitive information without losing control of who has access.
Cons:
The tradeoff with security is speed and ease of access. Resetting passwords and two factor authentication are must haves for a secure environment but this can sometimes slow down the speed of access.

Hi Babar, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Datasite Diligence! Customers that use our Q&A and redaction tools could not imagine using anything else. Also, glad to hear you've had great interactions with our Datasite Assist team. More than support, your Project Pro is an expert always looking out for you!

Datasite Review
Pros:
It is fairly easy to navigate and there isn't 'too much' going on. This makes the VDR feel clean and simply makes it easier for me as the administrator to arrange everything.
Cons:
Permission management can be a bit difficult to navigate, especially in terms of setting up numerous groups (in order to issues different levels of security).

Comments: I like it! I've found it very easy to use and the people at customer support are helpful when I can't figure out a tool / have tech issues.

I think it's easy to use, and I wish I would use it more; however, I don't set up the data rooms (the bankers send me links and I sign up for whatever one they choose)
Cons:
