Cons Sometimes the order of which files drop in is messed up so have to reorganize it Review Source Response from Firmex August 9, 2022 Thanks for the feedback and appreciate the insight. The way our platform operates is that folders and files that are uploaded from an internal database are mirrored in Firmex and numbered based on an automated numbering schema. I would be interested to know where the files are being dropped in and which uses are adding the documents. We want to make sure the platform is operating as advertised, feel free to reach out.

Investment Banking Analyst Investment Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "FirmEx Review -SPW" September 22, 2023 5.0 Pros The documents are secure, you can drag and drop files, it is easy to decipher which files are new and you can set different access controls for different groups / individuals Cons I dislike how FirmEx does not have sales reps "wining and dining". If it were up to me, this fact alone would make me want to switch to another provider who connects and builds relationships with its partners such as taking them to sporting events and catering lunches.

Corporate Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing datasite" September 15, 2022 5.0 great experience and i highly recommend anyone who wants to use it as a Virtual Data Room. Pros the ease of use and how simple the layout and operation is but the control it gives you. Cons sometimes it slowed down in certain datarooms but this could have been because there was thousands. Review Source MS Michael S. Analyst Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Stotz Firmex Review" January 15, 2021 4.0 For the price, this product is a fantastic value. Easy to use and has most of the features we need without all of the unnecessary functions that some other providers have added to their platforms. Pros Easy to use, straightforward, comes with all of the major features we use. Cons Could add some additional document restriction features. For example, other data rooms allow you to restrict access down to the individual document and individual user level, which comes in handy. To my knowledge, this is not a Firmex feature. Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room Price and ease of use. Review Source Response from Firmex April 16, 2021 Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback. This may not be generally known, but we do offer document level permissions. It is something the admin of the data room has to request our support team to turn on because it does impact your folder level permissions. Our support team would advise you to create a separate sub-folder for the individual document and permission the sub-folder accordingly. I am happy to have one of my reps or a support team member walk you through this if you would like. James - Director of M&A Coverage SC Stacy C. Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Firmex works for legal practice" May 6, 2019 5.0 Overall I've found Firmex support to be outstanding. You get answers quickly and they are helpful when dealing with our clients. Pros I like that our clients don't need any special training or hand holding to use the software. Once they login it is very simple to upload/download documents and understand without special training. I also really like the different levels of security, as we often have multiple clients with different levels of access all in the same document room. Cons I can't think of anything at the moment that I'm dissatisfied with. Review Source AL Arden L.
