Hi Michael, We appreciate the positive feedback you gave on the platform and our award winning support, as it is one of our competitive advantages within the VDR industry.

very positive - it's our VDR platform of choice

Pros

It's easy to use for lawyers and has excellent security.

Cons

setting up the folder levels is sub optimal. Should be a easier way to do this

Response from Firmex

November 28, 2023

Thanks for the feedback on how easy the platform is to use and the excellent security features we provide. As for creating sub folders, we do offer an excel folder structure document that can be downloaded from the data room. This can be customized to create an entire folder structure for you and then uploaded directly into the data room mirroring set structure. Your Account Manager or our support team would be more then happy to walk you through how this is done.

December 6, 2022

5.0

The features are fantastic and new features are always becoming available. The room is easy to use and very intuitive. I love using this program/hands down my favorite software use!

Pros

Hands down, the support was critical to learning the software. Support always provides quick answers and walks through each request step by step. Some programs out there leave it to you to figure out....to be able to call and ask whenever I am stuck is critical to my job because things move very fast and it is always appreciated when support provide quick easy solutions to any question I throw at them!

Cons

Nothing -no cons/I absolutely love this product!

Michael, we appreciate your review and feedback. Within the platform you can create new folders by using the drop down arrow that is located either at the index level or folder level. This will allow you to create a new folder immediately within the desired folder structure area. Here is a link to support this. We also have an excel template that can be customized to your due diligence folder structure. The excel template can be uploaded into the data room directly which will automatically create an entire index folder structure for you. Andrew who is your rep at Firmex would be more then happy to connect and show you how this can be done within Firmex.

Thanks for the feedback on how easy Firmex is to learn. The times you did have to reach out to support I am sure you had a great experience with them as that is one of our main competitive advantages within the industry. In regards to setting up folders, we have a way to import your folder structure via an excel document that can be imported into the data room. Also, you can create folders on your computer and import. Our support team is available 24/7 to assist with any questions you may have.

Thanks for the comments and feedback. I would be interested to better understand the amount of documents you were uploading as we have the ability to upload up to 50 GB within the browser and have increased our upload speed by 25%. Other competitors lack the ability to upload that amount of data at one time. Feel free to email me with further feedback.

It has been positive. It is generally easy to navigate.

Pros

Easy to mass-upload and mass-download documents

Cons

The platform is slow sometimes when I am navigating the VDR.

Review Source

Response from Firmex

July 7, 2023

Thanks for the feedback and the positive experience when uploading and download in bulk. We have made improvements to the platform recently in order to accommodate large uploads and downloads of up to 50 GB. Some of our competitors can only handle 5 GB upload/downloads. As for the speed of the platform, I would be interested to know when and where you experienced slowness. Since we are a web based platform, internet speed and connection does play a factor. Feel free to reach out to discuss further.

### "Review of Firmex"

January 15, 2021

5.0

It has been great. Never been overbilled. The team provides a heads up if you are reaching storage capacity vs. simply upping your bill. I've never had a client unable to understand how to use or access the data room.

Pros

I love the ease of setting it up. Other products have more features as far as downloading and tracking, but everyone does bulk downloading so it is irrelevant. You get the key features you need: Accessed, % downloaded, ability to revise documents, etc.

Cons

I haven't had any issues with the software. The customer service is the best I've seen. Very amenable if a transaction takes longer or goes on pause (i.e., they are willing to be flexible with pause periods and/or affordable monthly extensions)

Thanks for the feedback, especially around the intuitiveness of our viewer. I am curious to better understand what read only access means and if this is a setting that an admin has permissioned when you were a guest user. If interested, feel free to email me so I can better understand your position and provide a solution.

### "Virtual Data Room"

September 29, 2022

5.0

Compared to other VDRs I was able to demo the combination of cost and performance is outstanding. Customer Support is always available and incredibly helpful.

Pros

The software is intuitive to use and has a user friendly interface. The ability to view the database as the potential partner would before going live is invaluable. I also appreciate the ability to open documents in separate tabs and keep the interface tab open.

Cons

Setting up permissions for a new project/group can be a little cumbersome if the directory is large but is intuitive after practice and the ability to copy groups/permissions saves time.

Response from Firmex

October 27, 2023

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our virtual data room! An easy-to-use platform with robust features is incredibly valuable for M&A projects. It streamlines the due diligence process and can make a significant difference in deal efficiency. In terms of folder separation, using multiple (top-level) directories can help with folder separation. We'd be more than happy to connect you with your Customer Success Manager to review your current workflow, and perhaps offer some best practice advice.

June 19, 2023

Pros

An easy-to-use product and fast loading of documents

Cons

Creating profiles is not always easy. To define a project role, a content role. What is a member, a viewer ....

Review Source

Response from Firmex

July 7, 2023

Thanks for the positive feedback on how easy the platform is to use and how fast our uploading of documents are. We have put additional resources into this feature to enhance the document loading of the platform. As for creating profiles, are you referring to groups? When creating a group the content role and project role are defined by what they can and can't do within the project. Typically guest uses will only have access to view/download documents and then depending how granular you would like to get. If you have any more questions please reach out.

Pros

It is a very impactful tool. It is the best software to store all the important documents at one place with keeping the transaction process smooth. I really liked that you have an option to add users without them able to see who all is in the data room. Overall, it is a great product.

Cons

I think the ability to delete users or groups from the data room. I am not sure if I can do that, although, I was able to deactivate the users. I hope this can be improved in the future.

October 13, 2022

5.0

Pros

I enjoyed the ease with which one can navigate the data room. Automatic indexing and view as group are some of my favorite featurs.

Cons

None really. Maybe drag and drop uploading could be reworked. When you drag multiple files (separately) the last file dragged replaces the previous file dragged rather than combining them.
