### "View from user - dd team member"

February 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

In my opinion, using a VDR can have many positive benefits.Firstly, it is highly secure and provide encryption and authentication features, making them an ideal solution for organizations looking to protect sensitive data. This provides peace of mind to both the company and its stakeholders, knowing that their information is in safe hands.Secondly, VDR can save significant amounts of time and resources compared to traditional methods of data sharing, such as physical document rooms or email. VDRs allow authorized users to access and collaborate on documents from anywhere, at any time, and from any device, increasing efficiency and productivity.Thirdly, VDRs provide transparency and control to the data owner, allowing them to track who has accessed the data, when it was accessed, and what actions were taken. This helps to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive information, ensuring that the data remains confidential.Overall, in my opinion, using a VDR can have many positive benefits, including enhanced security, efficiency, and control over sensitive data. As such, I believe that VDRs are an essential tool for organizations that need to securely manage and share confidential information.

Cons

Nothing comes to my mind in terms of cons of the service

### "Decent DD VDR software"

May 28, 2019

I use Fordata VDR to receive data from target companies in due diligence processes. I had an overall good experience with this software and I can recommend it to a business professional in advisory sector.

Pros

Easy to use and pretty straightforward Daily updates about new files

Cons

Fordata VDR plugin does lack behind in terms of browser updates therefore IE or Edge is often the browser you need to use.

### "Best value for money"

May 24, 2024

5.0

Pros

It is quite simple but effective VDR for not very complicated projects. Customer support is very good - quickly respond and solve the issues.

Cons

We have issues with adding and managing the files once we had VDR ca. 15 GBs and few users working simultaneously. It is good to understand the possible max sizing of your VDR beforehand.

Switched from

[Intralinks VDRPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/131416/Intralinks-Virtual-Data-Room/)

Much cheaper and with all necessary functions for not very complicated project.

February 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

Very good quality at a great price. I recall customer support very fondly. I was with an investment bank that had a number fo unique requests and they were all dealt with.

Cons

Several years back, when I was last using Fordata's software, it still had no convenient mobile option. Also, it ran kind of sluggish on some browsers. It was not a dealbreaker, but I would like to see this fixed (maybe it already has been).

### "FORDATA REVIEW"

February 8, 2019

3.0

VDR is used by my company to manage data flow between various parties during property due-diligence. It is used quite commonly. What I especially like about Fordata is great costumer support. Consultants are always available and eager to help.

Pros

\* The interface is pretty transparent, although the design could be more modern-looking \* The software allows to use all basic functionalities of the VDR \* The staff is very helpful

Cons

\* Interface looks obsolete, \* the software works pretty slow, especially in terms of major operations (e.g. deleting files in bulk) \* some of the functionalities (e.g. like sending notifications to users) are not very intuitive \* Necessity to log into an additional panel (Fordata uploader) in order to manage files.
