### "Very pleased with iDeals VDR service"

September 11, 2020

5.0

The team is attentive and responsive. The system was easy to deploy and use. I will use iDeals the next time I need a VDR.

Pros

Extremely easy to get started and set up our VDR. The customer service is unparalleled.

Cons

If there is anything I can critique it is using the access privileges feature, which is a bit less intuitive than other features of iDeals. However, even this feature is easy to use in comparison to other tools I have used.

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

Best combination of features, price and easy of use.

I received great customer support from the team

Pros

It does what it said yet the customer support is what stands out

### "A friendly alternativa to dataroom facilities"

November 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

iDeals is being very helpful in our company, considering the amount of M&A and financing transactions that are constantly on going and, in my standpoint, its friendl functionality is its main strenght, specially when you are dealing with a great amount of counterparts. The fact that the counterparties can easly understand the tools and move forward with the work is extremely helpful.

Cons

So far, I haven't had any complaints about iDeals. The software is being very helpful.

### "Perfect VDR Software"

November 1, 2019

5.0

It is a great virtual data room software.

Pros

User-friendly, easy to use and custom according to your need, very easy to upload files in the hierarchy you wish to have, easy to add users, grant them permissions and view reports about their activities.

Cons

For specific report types, I sometimes needed their customer support services since I did not understand how to generate them, but they responded quickly so eventually I managed to solve the issue.

### "Does what It promises, lack some features"

November 25, 2019

4.0

Pros

The ability to customise users access on multiple levels.

Cons

The lack of capacity to replicate the same file on multiple folders. Whenever both the audit firms asked for the same file, i had to duplicate it on the VDR. As the charging is based (among others) in memory usage, this felt like cheating. Also, the inhearitance of permisions between folders, subdirectories and files felt inconsistent and generated some trouble to the deal.

February 5, 2020

4.0

Pros

Ease of use and setup, navigation and monitoring.

Cons

Competitor products have added functionalities around user/usage information, I am not sure if similar data is provided by iDeals. There needs an option to download the newly updated data (exclusively).

Reason for choosing Ideals Virtual Data Room

Value for money.

### "An excellent service at a fraction of the cost"

March 13, 2020

5.0

Great value for money compared to competitors.

Pros

It was very easy to understand, exactly as succinct as it needed to be. The customer service it came with was brilliant from the set up to time critical troubleshooting. Our biggest worry was that a less popular name would get flagged by firewalls but this wasn't the case.

Cons

That you had to pay premiums to download all the files on to a stick more than twice. I thought this was gimmicky since you could download everything individually anyway, it'd just take more time for the user.

### "Recomend to your business"

August 10, 2017

5.0

This was my first experience of using virtual data room and I'll definitely be happy to recommend iDeals for any France-based businesses.

Pros

The user interface is really good: the fact that it's available in French is also one of the reasons why we have decided to go with iDeals. The customer support is really helpful and assisté me with some little issues that I had had.

Cons

The pre-established data room index was a bit confusing sometimes and did not always fit quite well so I had to ask for assistance. And that is another thing that can be improved possibility to make changes to data room index without relying on customer support.

### "Great service"

August 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

The response time of the customer support is incredible and they were able to answer all (technical) questions that I had. Besides that, the data room was quite easy to use and initiative. Make sure to request a demo from them if you are new to VDRs in general.

Cons

So far really nothing, easy to use, the Q&A section is hard to master, but it is not impossible.

### "Powerful features under the hood"

April 4, 2018

5.0

Our company first selected another provider, but then we had to switch because of a critical feature which was missing there. So I was in a bit of a rush during the data room set up. To my surprise, the uploading didn't take much of my time and energy. I just dropped my structure into the uploading screen, and in some 10-15 minutes all my documents were in the data room and in their respective directories. Importing user list was more complicated, I had to create the groups first. But afterwards, the bulk inviting worked just fine.

Pros

Great support! They don't put you on hold at all, the questions are answered and the staff can even guide you through the process. It was a big help given the urgency of our project.

Cons

Didn't notice any. Maybe some useful features went unnoticed, but we had everything we wanted from the tool.

### "Good Data Room"

November 24, 2020

4.0

Pros

Drag and drop feature was very helpful, easy to move through / navigate the VDR itself once online

Cons

If I was uploading multiple files from a folder on my personal desktop, I didn't get an error if there was one or a few that didn't upload... made it very difficult to track what was and wasn't uploaded. Also, did not like the indexing function (static index, if we had 5 folders and deleted the 4th, the 5th was still indexed at 5)
