### "Really great product. Easy to use and well designed. "

March 24, 2020

5.0

With iDeals, my client is able to share highly sensitive information with potential investors in a safe manner.

Pros

I chose the iDeals VDR because it is so customizable. You can choose the level of sharing for each item you upload and for each user you invite. Setting it up was very intuitive and easy. Uploads are lightening fast. I have never once been frustrated with this software. It is really easy and powerful and thoughtfully designed.

Cons

It is somewhat expensive, but my client did not mind.

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

It was simply the best product with the right levels of control.

### "We were running a small deal, and at one point my colleague overtook the data room management. He is"

March 30, 2018

5.0

We were running a small deal, and at one point my colleague overtook the data room management. He isn't a computer person but didn't have to be as iDeals rooms are super easy to use. It took some time to understand and tweak the Q&A settings, but once that was taken care of we didn't have much work to do.

Pros

Positive: Very user-friendly and straightforward. I didn't need to teach my colleagues how to use it or answer any questions from my users as to how this or that is done.

Cons

I was under the impression that the data room would close automatically upon the end of the primary term, so my accounting team got a few extra invoices before we finally closed the project (can be done in the VDR itself, but we were not aware).

### "Good price to quality relation data room provider"

April 23, 2020

4.0

Pros

Is an easy to use product, with all the necessary functionalities for a data room provider, good customer service and fantastic price to quality relation versus their main competitors

Cons

It usually gives errors while trying to upload big size documents or a big batch of documents in one go, and you have to retry multiple times until all documents are finally uploaded, taking quite a longer time than its competitors to upload all the required documentation to start a data room

### "Excellent dataroom site"

May 13, 2020

5.0

Very very positive. It did everything that we needed to get our financing transaction done. My intern was able to access and start uploading documents immediately with no training.

Pros

I have previously used intralinks, but their pricing is another level. I was really impressed with the quality and ease of use for the site. Our banker commented that it was the best and most professiona data room that they had been invited to use.

Cons

The pricing is a little complex like a chinese menu. Perhaps they could tier it better.

### "Ideals Experience"

May 15, 2020

4.0

Very positive and with great SLA's on the Customer Support.

Pros

Its very user-friendly and very intuitive.

Cons

Impossibility of loading folders with documentation directly, would be very useful for massive loading of organized documentation.

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

Essentialy because of the price ratio with inclusion of the requested attributes (time to use vs space occupied).

Dear Guilherme, Thank you so much for the feedback! Bulk uploading can be convenient using our Desktop Application. It's also possible to upload the whole structure of your folders with documents via the browser. If you need VDR for your next project, just reach out to your Customer Success Manager and we will find a solution that would work best in your case. Kind regards, Alexandra O'Brien Customer Success Manager

October 30, 2017

5.0

Special thank you note goes to the UX team for smooth user experience.

Pros

We picked iDeals to orchestrate our project and were very happy with the results. The project went hassle-free thanks to the thought-through interface. After some point, all we had to do was monitoring the reports and answering the questions from potential bidders.

### "Easy to use and deliver all benefits"

November 25, 2019

5.0

Over all the use is very simple to input the data and users list, data is simple to upload/download and control. The cellphone App is a great gadget to follow all the material on the drive, notifications are important and keep the whole team up-to-date on every(or not) simgle update. Flexibility is something to mention about the Data Room, you can control permissions, notifications, access and so on. A 100% recommended.

Pros

Simple to use and upload files, through web or even using the windows software. Synchronization is another great feature of the VDR, works very well.

Cons

App could include upload files instead of only view options.

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

Searching on the web was the most recommended VDR service so we started the trial and really was a great choice.

### "A very good and user friendly product"

March 11, 2022

5.0

Very happy with my experience with iDeals. They're contract flexibility has allowed us to suspend VDRs when not in use, but we'll continue using them indefinitely.

Pros

The setup of a VDR is extremely simple. Setting different permission levels for user groups, document restrictions and sign up requirements (e.g. eNDA) is frictionless. I've used a few different VDR providers and iDeals is the best.

Cons

Not much wrong with it. The report function is perhaps the least user friendly feature, but not a major detractor.

### "iDeals review "

December 8, 2020

5.0

My overall experience is positive. I’ve used a lot of different data room software and iDeals is the most user friendly.

Pros

It’s very easy to organize your data room in a way that helps investors easily find what they are looking for and navigate through high volumes of information. It’s also easy to control and track who sees what information.

Cons

Uploading files took a long time because they cannot be dragged and dropped from another secure site.

### "Satisfied First Time User"

December 8, 2020

5.0

We used Ideals VDR for the due diligence of our company to potential investors. Our investors were able to access the data in a timely and discreet manner.

Pros

As a first time user of this type of product I was unsure how to use it. Ideals was very easy to understand and set-up. Any technical concerns I had were ably answered by the online support. I particularly liked the permissions that limit the access to certain documents by the users. I also find the drag and drop option as well as the automatic numbering very convenient.

Cons

I noticed that there is an extra unknown file that shows up when I transfer files from a Mac. Other than that, I am satisfied.

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

It was less expensive.

June 25, 2021

Excellent experience. Keep it up!

Pros

Excellent customer service, easy deployment and use, highly intuitive product.

Cons

There are no obvious faults with the software but surely there are tiny improvements that can make it even better, for instance the ability to create user groups for e-mail sending purposes via the software, but again this is nitpicking.

August 9, 2019

5.0

We chose iDeals nearly 2 years ago as a tool for us to distribute/share highly confidential information to our prospective investors. IDeals proved a great tool with comprehensive controls and solid security!

Pros

Powerful due diligence distribution with a very solid data integrity/protection toolset. We will certainly use iDeals going forward!

Cons

Pricing too high, billing paradigm too manual

November 15, 2019

iDeals is very easy to use, it requires no deeper understanding of data room technologies. We had a great time using it as it was foolproof to upload documents and contribute access rights.

Pros

Easy uploading and management of access rights.

Cons

Again, It's a breeze, no downside that I could see so far.

### "Easy to use, very usefull for sharing large files"

October 8, 2020

5.0

The biggest benefit of using iDeals Virtual Data Room is the ability to share very large files in a safe environment where every user with appropriate access can view, download, upload those large files, which is impossible via email, Skype or other channels.

Pros

The interface is not cluttered, easy to navigate, and I really like the option for upload where I can grab a folder or bunch of filed from my windows explorer and just drag and drop into the file selection box and it's done. I also find the upload speed to be very satisfactory - I'm uploading very large files (sometimes 20-30 files with size between 20-60 MB) and they just go really fast!

Cons

I have not really had any unpleasant experience with iDeal - all has been smooth for me.

### "Would Highly Recommend"

December 8, 2020

5.0

I have had really good use of the product so far with a good customer experience

Pros

iDeals is a very good easy to use and intuitive software that other people can quickly pick up and use. It was easy to implement internally and get access to both key internal stakeholders and external personnel. Would highly recommend

Cons

It really has limited flaws; it lacks in the complexity of some of the larger competitors however I feel that these parts of the software can be found in other places

### "A must have for completing virtual deals!"

September 3, 2020

The most important positive aspect of this software is the 24/7 support. I have asked all sorts of questions with a prompt, friendly, and informative response. The iDeals staff is eager to assist their customers and that makes it easy to use the product as well as recommend it to colleauges!

Pros

iDeals Virtual Data Rooms are not only easy to set up and implement, they are easy to explain to even some of the least tech-savvy clients and/or colleagues. The program is very intuitive and full of features that make completing deals easy!

Cons

I haven't yet found anything in the software that I do not like.

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

Cost, quality of customer reviews, and the help I received from the iDeals staff.
