- 4 stars: 63 reviews (18%)
- 3 stars: 4 reviews (1%)
- 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%)
- 1 star: 1 reviews (0%)

### Most mentioned pros

- I am happy with the data room because it helps keep multiple meetings organized and securely protected.
- I had a question and was able to connect with an agent and get my answer in a matter of a few minutes over online chat.
- What truly stood out was the exceptional customer support—available 24/7 and proactive in resolving any issues, which ensured our project stayed on track without delays.

### Most mentioned cons

- Although I don't have a point for comparison of other data rooms, I've heard that the cost is expensive, much more when storage capacity increase is needed.
- It also does not highlight a folder name blue on the left-side panel, if all it contains is subfolders.
- Not being able to bulk download seemed like a huge issue but then I learned it was a permissions issue and that was remedied.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Good budget-friendly data room. Relatively easy to use. Almost everyone is used to working with Firmex and hence makes file sharing simple.

#### Cons

UX/UI could be improved. For example, re document management, if I click on a folder, it does not show me the subfolder that are in it in the center view of the screen so I would think it is empty. It also does not highlight a folder name blue on the left-side panel, if all it contains is subfolders. This leads me to think that the folder is empty which is not the case.

#### Reasons for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Cheaper, I think. I am not part of the team that chose it as the go-to platform.

We do have the ability to upload full folder structures, either through an excel sheet that our support team can assist with populating or within your documents on your local drive. If there was an issue, it may be because of project or group level permissions that prohibited the user from uploading set information.

I can organize the folders and files in a the way I wanted them to appear. I like that the dates on each file is shown as it provides information to the administrator if the file is updated.

I did not like the set-up where I have to create redundant folders for users with read only permission and different folder for users with full access permission.

#### Reasons for switching to Firmex Virtual Data Room

users experienced difficulty downloading files

#### Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you appreciate the ability to organize folders and files to your preference, and that the visible file dates are helpful for tracking updates—especially from an administrative perspective. The ability to apply folder lever permissions allows you the security capabilities of restricting access to certain parties versus giving the same access to everyone. When conducting a diligence matter that is not always the case and one of the core features we provide compared to other providers in the market.

#### Pros

i have used Firmex multiple times in my career as a CFO and as the Administrator of the VDR. I have mostly used in in an M&A due diligence VDR model. I find the software to be intuitive and easy to use. I have had very few users come back to me and not understand how they can gain access tot he files they need, so it is first time user intuitive as well.

#### Cons

On con is to ensure you set up the file structure correctly in the first instance, as it will impact the flexibility you need to create multiple group access restrictions.

#### Reasons for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

We chose Firmex as it was the leader in the market. Other options were not as flexible or had the controls we were looking for.

Thanks for the feedback on how intuitive and easy to use the platform is based on your experience. We do have the ability to drag and drop folder and documents to reorganize them if they are in the incorrect order.

#### Pros

Firmex is intuitive. With excellent support from our CSM, implementation was quick and relatively straightforward. It has also been easy to use, maintain and to train new users on how to interface with the product.

#### Cons

We currently use a different platform for real-time document collaboration. If this feature were to be included Firmex, we could manage all of our ongoing document sharing in one platform - which would allow for easier integration and ongoing support.

#### Reasons for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Based on recommendations from QoE and Legal teams.

Firmex offered more security for our needs.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the feedback on how the experience has been when adjusting folders and the structure of folders as it is all drag and drop functionality. In terms of the ability to customize permissions, we offer a role based system between what users have access to within the project (data room) and the information within meaning the documents. The permission combinations we have made are the industry settings we see most commonly used based on the roles you want to give host users vs guest users. If you require assistance further on how to best set those permissions, our support team is available 24/7.

The software is easy to use and inexpensive relative to comparable solutions. Monitoring and Q&A functions come in handy when working with multiple groups on a project.

#### Cons

The software lacks a good viewer and is sometimes complicated to use with regard to the automatic numbering function. Moreover, it should support more languages.

#### Reasons for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Price and functionality.

- Industry: Legal Services
- Company size: 201-500 employees

It's an integral piece of software and works very well.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It's easy to use for everyone and it just works. There are no issues with it that confuse people and it's secure. Great program.

#### Cons

I wish it linked to iManage and created deal books. iManage has just recently released a program that is a competitor that does those things.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the feedback and apprecaite the kind words. As for our integration, we currently do not provide a direct integration to iManage and can't comment on what their product offers for the legal space. We do have API's that our clients optimized and these can be built in order to facilitate those potential needs.

### Firmex Surpasses Our Expectations

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Mark T.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Financial Services
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Firmex makes the management of our M&A process incredibly smooth. Fully customizable permissions and reports, granular viewing data, and a secure, branded room for our company.

#### Cons

The price point for VDR service providers remains higher than it should be, in my opinion. I anticipate there will be a major price correction in the next few years as cheaper, and more effective options become available.

#### Reasons for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Price and type of contract.

#### Reasons for switching to Firmex Virtual Data Room

Price.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for your feedback on how Firmex makes the M&A process smooth. Our price point is still at a mid-market level compared to the level of service we provide, as well as not pricing by legacy per-page pricing. There are lower-cost alternatives in the market, but with those, you sacrifice the features that allow for an incredibly smooth process.
