As for the mobile functionality not being the same, we do have an iOS app that will help with this problem instead of logging into an online mobile browser. PP Peter P. VP Treasury Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Data Room" May 5, 2023 5.0 Pros Firmex is easy to use and when I have questions, the support is timely and of excellent quality. Cons Changing certain settings can be challenging and not intuitive. Alternatives considered [Egnyte](https://www.capterra.com/p/159288/Egnyte/) Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room Our Egnyte contract is based on a per user license. This makes it expensive to add too many third party users to the data room. Review Source Response from Firmex June 8, 2023 Appreciate the feedback and outlining how responsive our award winning support team is when needed. I am interested to better understand what setting changes you are referring to, as there may be some areas we can help with to improve your user experience that you may not be aware of.

As for providing permissions, we have folder level security as well as a View As tool that allows you to see through that groups perspective on what they have access to.

Partner Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for continuous use " September 4, 2023 5.0 We are using it both as a virtual data room in M&A projects and for securely collecting data from customers - Firmex excels at both. Pros Easy of use as many of our invited users have never used a virtual data room before. Cons The Q&A module is perhaps not as advanced as other solutions on the market. Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room More flexible pricing model and to some extent easier to use for first-time users. Review Source Response from Firmex October 23, 2023 Thanks for the feedback on the ease of use of the platform. As four our Q&A module we are always looking at making improvements to this feature. I am curious to know from your perspective what you would like to see improved compared to other providers. Feel free to reach out to me at james.lehuquet@firmex.com PP Philip P. Consultant Capital Markets Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Firmex - Tradelogiq Review" April 15, 2022 5.0 Honestly this is the best data room I have used to date. I can’t believe intralinks is so big and yet their vdr is horrendous. I’m genuinely shocked by the lack of user friendliness of other data rooms, and the lack of permissioning options elsewhere. Firmex has the best permissioning and security features available. Pros Honestly the management of users and permissioning is really easy. Also the interface is intuitive. Intralinks is GARBAGE. I’m currently using intralinks on another deal it is impossible to permission users effectively. Cons I think maybe you could have alternative pricing schemes for deals that get delayed or have a regulatory component. This happened to us and our vdr needed to be used for much longer than originally intended. In any case more pricing options could have been useful. Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room Referral through Laurence Rose. And now I’ll try to use firmex going forward on any deals. Switched from [Intralinks VDRPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/131416/Intralinks-Virtual-Data-Room/) Notes above. Review Source Response from Firmex April 29, 2022 Thanks for the positive feedback, especially in comparison to one of our competitors which you are currently using. As for alternative pricing, we offer a fixed pricing, we try to accommodate our clients based on their needs. I would be happy to discuss with you how this particular example turned out price wise and what we can work on going forward. My contact information is james.lehuquet@firmex.com. Thanks again and I look forward to connecting. - James Le Huquet, Director of Sales SM Scott M. Director Investment Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "firmex" January 19, 2021 4.0 We have found Firmex to be a high value solution (low cost with decent functionality). Pros Firmex is very intuitive and straight forward. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but we don't really need that. Cons It would be very nice if it was easier to convert Firmex into a traditional folder view that you get with PCs instead of just the web interface view. Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room cost Review Source Response from Firmex April 16, 2021 Hi Scott, Thanks for your feedback on the Firmex platform. As the lead contact here at Firmex for SDR Ventures. I am happy to know Firmex is working for you. We greatly appreciate your feedback about having the user interface similar to a traditional folder view.

If there is anything I can do to help create an even better environment, either by offering some complimentary product training or taking down requests for improvements, please let me know. We are always eager to help. Jorge - Customer Success Manager JL Joseph L. Of Counsel Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly and Useful" April 4, 2024 5.0 We use Firmex as a data room for mergers and acquisitions. It is very helpful in the due diligence process. The security and organizational features are also good, as it allows us to grant or deny access to the various files based upon the user and the stage of the transaction. Pros It is easy to upload and organize data and documents. Cons The initial set up of a new matter is somewhat cumbersome. However, we don't have any substantial cons. Review Source Response from Firmex May 2, 2024 Thanks for the update and feedback.

Cons I can't think of any cons. Sharing information has never been easier. Review Source Response from Firmex September 8, 2023 Thanks for the great piece of feedback, always great to hear. NB Nick B. Associate Investment Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good platform and always great support" August 5, 2023 5.0 Very positive Pros The platform is very easy to use and the support the team offer is first class Cons Compared to others the platform is on the more expensive side but you pay for what you get. Review Source Response from Firmex September 8, 2023 Thanks for the positive feedback on how easy the platform is to use and the level of support our VDR service provides as it is best in class within the market. As far as price, there are cheaper providers out there, but as you said you get what you pay for. We offer a mid-tier price point with a top tier level of service which is why we do over 20,000 data rooms a year, which is the most within the industry. aW arjuna W. Analyst Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product, Easy to Use" July 14, 2023 5.0 Great product with great features and easy to use Pros Bulk uploading, user access control, data room setup, user access reports Cons The system is somewhat slow when uploading and editing data Review Source BC Bryce C. Analyst Renewables & Environment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of Document Management" October 20, 2023 5.0 it's always reassuring to know that files are kept secure there if I'm missing them from somewhere else. Pros Easy to use, clean, organized well. It's a great tool to keep track of files in a shared but secure place Cons sometimes it takes a small file just as long to upload as a really big file, but this doesn't always happen, and big files don't take very long to upload anyway (just a few moments) Review Source Response from Firmex November 1, 2023 Thanks for the review and feedback on the ease of use of the platform, as it is something we pride ourselves on being one of the easiest to use VDR services in the market. As for your comment about upload speeds based on file size, without understanding your set up or the file type I can understand the issue this may cause. We are the only platform that can handle 50 GB upload through the browser, it is internet based so depending on that set up it can impact file upload speeds. Happy to connect or have my suppor team look into this matter further, feel free to reach out at james.lehuquet@firmex.com KJ Kelly J. Document Control Lead Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly" April 7, 2022 5.0 Pros We use firmex internally for our staff in addition we use Firmex to send documents to our customer. Its user friendly and easy to navigate once you have been granted access. Cons cannot delete documents submitted unintentionally.

Please let me know if you want to connect, my email is james.lehuquet@firmex.com. - James Le Huquet, Director of Sales MI Matt I. Associate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Choice for a VDR" July 14, 2016 4.0 Our firm has used Firmex VDRs for dozens of investment banking transactions and are very pleased with the product they put out as well as the support and service we receive. Pros The functionality is perfect for running a VDR to share documents and files with many parties while controlling the document flow and accessibility of any party on any document. The product is very competitively priced compared to a lot of the service providers out there. Customer service is very prompt and happy to walk you through any issue, small or large. Firmex is also continually improving its services. Cons Security functionality is limited once the files have been downloaded by another party (if you allow them to download). Once a party bulk downloads you lose the ability to track their access and usage of documents and delete the document if you would like to remove their access from the information completely. Review Source Response from Firmex July 23, 2019 Hi Matt, Thanks so much for taking the time to reflect on your Firmex experience. We very much understand the benefits of being able to track how your users are interacting with files once they've been downloaded. We do offer a selection of Seclore-supported document protection options that can be applied to help monitor the document activity of your users even after the documents have been downloaded from the platform. The Lock to Computer, Expire Access and No Print document protections will give you the insight you're looking for! I encourage you to reach out to your Firmex rep or Firmex Support to get more information and explore if these protections are right for your project. Many thanks, Maren Van Zutphen Customer Success Manager AP Alexis P. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product!" September 12, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the simple interface and the ability to copy deal rooms for easy setup processes. Cons Interface can always improve to make processes more streamlined. Review Source Response from Firmex October 23, 2023 Thanks for the feedback on the ability to copy data rooms to streamline your process. This is a great feature if you are doing a lot of buy-side work or have an internal templated process you want to replicate. It is also a great feature we offer with our unlimited data room subscription, an offering only few VDR providers have. In terms of the interface, we have made some improvements already and are currently in the process of finishing this up for the rest of the user interface. EG Eric G. Business Manager Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product that does what it needs" December 14, 2022 5.0 Pros The most important thing about Firmex is it's easiness of use. You can deploy a VDR quickly to people that don't need training or instruction. Cons Other products offer many bells and whistles that Firmex doesn't have but adding those would probably impact the cost of the solution and it's easiness. We've selected the product so it fits a simple situation and would like that it stays that way. Review Source Response from Firmex March 2, 2023 Thanks for the comments and feedback, especially around how easy the platform is to use and deploy at a moment's notice. We have one of, if not the fastest, turnaround times in the industry to get you access to a data room. As for bells and whistles, we are always looking to add more features/functionality to the platform, and with improvements comes an increase in cost associated with those platform improvements. However, we will always offer a top-tier product at a mid-market price point. SI Stephen I. Manager, Electrical Engineering Package/Freight Delivery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use for New Users" October 28, 2022 5.0 Great overall experience and trouble-free. Pros New users rarely ask for help in doing basic tasks. Setting up permissions is relatively intuitive for an administrator. Cons The built-in viewer has trouble with some file formats and so one must download the file to view. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room Lower cost. Review Source ML May L. Legal Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firmex is a contemporary but user-friendly software." July 27, 2022 5.0 Pros I like its convenient and easy to use. The panels are clear at a glance, and the method of operation is great and simple. And I found its accuracy rate was very good as well. Cons I think there might be a bit difficult in file transferring. I found that sometimes if I had saved a document in a wrong location and needed to transfer it to the correct location, then the transfer didn't work so I had to delete the document and reload it to the right place. Review Source Response from Firmex August 9, 2022 Thanks for the positive feedback in regards to the ease of use of the platform. We always like to hear this as it is one of our main competitive advantages within the VDR space. As for transferring documents, I am interested to learn more about how the transfer didn't work and where you are transferring documents from. Feel free to reach out to discuss further. Our support team is always available to trouble shoot any issues that arise here as well. DE Danielle E.
