### "Great Product - Great People"

July 16, 2019

5.0

Firm Room and Deal Room was by far the nicest people to work with and they have a very good product. They took the time to learn how I wanted to use their product - suggested the right one and I have had no​ issues - it does what they say it does - Noting in beta that is being delayed.

Pros

When looking for a data room - Firm Room and Deal Room was by far the nicest people to work with and they have a very good product. They took the time to learn how I wanted to use their product - suggested the right one and I have had no​ issues - it does what they say it does - Noting in beta that is being delayed.

Cons

no a thing - first rate product - great support

### "Easy to use!"

July 11, 2019

4.0

Our experience was great given our need to hide other VDR participants from viewing each other. This is something that other low cost products such as Dropbox have not been able to provide. Additionally, the analytics helped us track the overall activity and participation from the VDR participants as a way to view potential interest.

Pros

I like the simplicity of the product to use and invite people to the virtual data room. Additionally, the low cost of the FirmRoom product is great for a company like mine that will use it about once per quarter. It is perfect for us as we do not want to pay as much as the other products in the market.

Cons

Some participants received the invites within their spam/junk email which was fairly annoying. However, after sending a reminder to participants this wasn't a problem. Only one participant mentioned the site was blocked internally by their IT and they were not able to resolve the issue. That issue was likely remote to the one company participant.

### "Diligence assistance"

November 25, 2019

3.0

using it for due diligence projects and I dread having to search for my materials

Pros

searching for specific topics is relatively easy

Cons

organization of projects is dependent upon the administrator and naming conventions are so inconsistent which makes it challenging for an infrequent user to navigate.

### "Firmroom Review"

July 22, 2020

4.0

Pros

Pretty good set of features for the price. Easy to add users and content, fairly intuitive for the most part.

Cons

I think there are a number of features lacking in comparison to a VDR solution like Intralinks, but that is to be expected at this price point. Reporting and analytics could have more features / be easier to use. Little things like adjusting file paths to fit within the max length or at least making it easier to quickly identify and manually update file names that are over the max length. Users had issues trying to download Excel/PPT/Word files when they only had certain permissions (can't remember exactly what it was called, I think download watermarked), however there didn't seem to be anywhere that explained that they wouldn't be allowed to download files if they had those permissions. It seems like an error message or warning should have shown up when the permissions were set.

### "Excellent Product for the Price"

June 27, 2019

5.0

Great customer support

Pros

This software has all of the features that I would expect from a Data Room, plus some. As an admin, it is extremely easy to set up and manage user permissions, whether it is by group or individual. The analytics capabilities are also valuable and easy to use. It is so easy to see who has looked, downloaded, uploaded, etc. documents. Uploading and downloading documents, whether one by one or in batches is so simple. And most of all, this product is very affordable compared to other solutions.

Cons

My only complaint is not being able to do a bulk download when the watermark feature is turned on and there are PPT or XLS files in a folder. Instead of a generic error or timeout, it would be great to download all of the available files with a warning or notification about the files that will not be included (because they are PPT/XLS).

### "FirmRoom Review"

June 27, 2019

5.0

Pros

The software is the easiest to use of all the data rooms that I have tried. There is the optimal mix of functionality and usability, which makes it easy for both my clients and me to organize our data. The customer support is very responsive and I have always had my issues resolved.

Cons

Sometimes the software can be 'clunky', for instance drag and drop with large folder sizes sometimes doesn't work. Also, the platform as a whole is not visually appealing.

### "New User"

June 27, 2019

4.0

Pros

Easy to figure out based on the layout. Download options are straightforward as is the ability to see which files have been recently added to the data room. No difference in functionality compared to higher priced VDR sites like Intralinks or Merrill.

Cons

I have had no issues with the software while I have been using it to date.

### "A solid data room service"

February 19, 2019

5.0

Overall a solid choice for anyone running a dataroom.

Pros

The site was well laid out, and the user interface was intuitive. The addition of the working groups is particularly nice to keep organized who's who.

Cons

My usage is limited as a downloader (and not an admin), but so far I see no shortcomings. I also do not know about the pricing as I am a user, and not a paying customer.

### "Nice simple data room"

February 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

Does everything every other data room does. Where FirmRoom really shines is the customer support! A real live human being is happy to talk to you on the phone and help get things set up.

Cons

The interface was not very intuitive at first, but it makes sense as you use it.

4.0

Collecting and sharing data.

Pros

Right functionality and right ease of use, at the right price.

Cons

No complaints, really. Use it and before long, you'll know how to use. Learning curve for this not terribly difficult.

### "First time through a deal with Firm Room"

July 5, 2019

5.0

This was a long and complicated deal. From Room really sped up the papering part.

Pros

Firm Room is very to pick up on. It is intuitive to use. If I got a bit stumped, a few clicks would show me the way.

Cons

Nothing really. It’s a little annoying to have to “accept” all the legal stuff every time you log in. But no big deal.

### "Just like the others"

August 4, 2020

4.0

Neutral - It didn't blow me away, but it also didn't get aggravating.

Pros

Very simple UI. Sign up process was not the clearest - I think there were more than 1 email sent separately? Not sure. Had to go through it because it was the only way to access the files, but nevertheless it was added friction.

Cons

UI was simple - it did not "delight", but definitely did its job. At one point, we could not download files as their original format and only downloadble as pdfs? We had to contact the administrator and explain to him the issue. We got it resolved, but it caused a bit of friction and wasted time. The point of a data room is to go in, see all files, extract data and download if allowed, and be on my way. No text search function? Not one that I recall anyway

### "David Burke review of FirmRoom"

February 26, 2019

5.0

I use FirmRoom for sell side M&A due diligence.

Pros

The product is intuitive and easy to use. This product is comparable to other data rooms I've used at a significantly better price and flexibility in pricing plans make it easier to sell to my clients which are usually smaller sized companies. File trees are easy to create and manage. Downloading is easy and my clients can use this without a lot of training like some other products I've used.

Cons

I ran into some issues adding and inviting members that I solved by closing out and restarting. I don't know if this was a glitch or my error.

### "Best M&A Data Room - Middle Market I-Bank"

February 26, 2019

5.0

We have used a dozen or more data room providers in the last 5 years. FirmRoom by far exceeds anything else we have used in terms of feature/functionality and overall value.

Pros

Simplicity (everything needed and nothing else) Speed (upload and download) Value / Pricing (nothing else compares) Ability to easily manage multiple data rooms at once

Cons

Really no complaints yet and we have used it across our firm on multiple deals.

Pros

Unlimited storage for a fixed fee is key. Reasonable pricing and overall interface is easy to use and intuitive.

Cons

It is not highly adopted yet, so a lot of clients and buyers need to learn the platform.
