What is DealRoom?
DealRoom serves as a comprehensive lifecycle management platform tailored for professionals engaged in intricate financial transactions such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A), providing secure data storage, diligence oversight, and efficient pipeline management while also facilitating overall project coordination. The primary objective of our platform is to enhance the M&A experience for teams, promoting innovation and ensuring that the original intentions behind deals are preserved and executed effectively. DealRoom was founded in response to the inherent complexities and unpredictability of M&A processes, which often start with aspirations for innovation and value creation through the fusion of diverse entities but can lose sight of these goals as the transactions expand in scale and volume. By fostering a more collaborative and equitable environment, DealRoom seeks to realign the focus on the initial vision of innovation in the M&A landscape. In our mission to streamline this process, we distinguish ourselves from competitors by offering project management tools that address and rectify common inefficiencies, such as reliance on Excel spreadsheets, fragmented email exchanges, and the risks associated with insecure file sharing. Ultimately, our approach not only enhances productivity but also helps teams maintain clarity and coherence throughout the complex M&A journey.

PositiveSuper user friendly, not overly complicated, and relatively inexpensive. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an easy to use data room for their client at a relatively affordable price. Our clients seem to also have no issues with the deal room platform.
NegativeThe platform doesn't have all the perks of some platforms such as the question and answer features, CIM and teaser watermarking capabilities, and other items, but in my everyday experience I usually prefer ease of use over some of these items I just mentioned.

Realtime collaboration
Date: Jan 20 2021SummaryIt is very easy to use, and every new team member can learn at a drop of a hat. You can pretty much do an M&A transaction inside the Dealroom.
PositiveThe best thing about Dealroom is that it is cloud-based. The team can review and share information in real-time. It also has VDR functionality, so I don’t have to jump from one app to another. Everything that I need is already on one platform, which makes our job a lot easier.
NegativeThere’s really not much to say here. Amongst other platforms, Dealroom offers a lot more and charges less.

Date: May 25 2021SummaryOverall, I am impressed by the platform and have found that using it increased the efficiency of coordinating the timely review of a large number of documents.
PositiveI really like the flexibility of options and configuration that is afforded by the DealRoom platform.

PositiveEverything we needed was there, populating the boxes was easy, and the outcome was super professional.
NegativePrice was quite high, especially for companies trading in non-US$ currency

Associate
Date: Jul 01 2021SummaryBetter than many others datarooms. Although, as I indicated above, there are several features that can be improved.
PositiveInstant notifications, easy to sort and search info, user-friendly. simple to use and navigate, overall high rating.
NegativeI have seen a dataroom where you can upload information request list, so a company may update/close and comment on requests directly and see if any documents were uploaded for that particular request. Super convenient! it would be nice to set different notifications for different deals/ projects.

Very good platform for M&A projects.
Date: Jan 06 2021SummaryOverall I believe the platform is very good, and it allows for a good collaboration between the parties involved in the project from different companies and also from different departments in each company.
PositiveSimplicity, and nice overview given in the 1st page, similar to a control panel. Red labels on the items show what items have not yet been looked at by the reviewer/user, and this is positive. Also the fact that it shows a timeline on when the items will be closed is a positive thing.
NegativeWhen updates arrive by email, and when you press the link it doesn't guide you to the update but to the general page and you have to check where the update occurred. This should be more user-friendly and the link should take you exactly where the update is. Room for improvement!

Managing projects made easy
Date: Jan 20 2021SummaryDealroom has made managing projects a lot easier. Monitoring different workstreams and file visibility is awesome.
PositiveAs a moderator, I love how I can set the visibility of certain confidential files and hide them from people who are not supposed to see them. Also, Dealroom has a feature that lists down all the active users of the platform which gives me instant access to the list of people involved in a certain deal. It’s amazing.
NegativeThere's not a lot to say in this matter. This is a feature-rich product that has very few flaws. I would appreciate a cellphone app though.
