Easy to set up and launch, very time efficient.

The software is pretty straight forward with a lot of useful functions and add-ons. The customer support was excellent.

I like how easy is to drop and share a file. What is very important to me is a mobile access- and here I have it.

Facilitates secure and easy means of obtaining and procuring data between the private side and public side. The ability of access reviews to the data room etc is helpful.

As a M&A tax professional I use 5+ VDR tools from various providers. Fordata VDR is one of my favorites and - in my view - offers best value for money.

What I especially like about Fordata is great costumer support. Consultants are always available and eager to help.

Exporting index of files and index of Q&A also helps to monitor incoming answers and new files.

Accessible and easy to use in multi-national environment.

I share documents for legal DD and open shared documents for legal DD.

Cant think of anything in particular. One of the things which are hard in other VDRs is how hard it is to navigate and how slowly they load documents or the preview - this was NOT an issue here.

Price per additional page rate, deleting an accidentally uploaded file did not reset the page counter.

Ease of use; has all of the features expected from similar products; can set-up delegates easily; ability to customize updates and notifications; reliability.

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.

That the tool is reliable and secure. I was very impressed with the functions it has.

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

Firstly, it is highly secure and provide encryption and authentication features, making them an ideal solution for organizations looking to protect sensitive data.

Overall experience has been good and while I perform reviews, I have found the user interface interesting.

As mentioned, user friendly software with  very powerful platform enabling a control the process. As well as responsive and kind customer service.

Difficulty in opening documents via google chrome browser.

Attractive value for money ratio compared to competing solutions.

On my last project I noticed that the status of questions was quite misleading - I couldn't find which questions are answered and which not.

For Data is quite popular VDR used for exchanging documents during due diligence processes. It is one of the best VDR providers I worked with.

Overall I like the service, would like better/more automation tools.

Overall its a good cost effective package to solve secure file transfer needs.

Easy to use and to set up. Does exactly what we needed without the pains of an FTP site.

Our customers and prospect appreciate the secure FTP capability. We have found the system very easy to administer, and the tech support has been very responsive.

I only used this program for its free trial, but I liked how the interface was built and the fact that you can have permissions and thus, can avoid having leaking information issues.

We have had several occasions where the site was unavailable due to technical difficulties.

The business problem that SmartFile solves is allowing lots of file storage which I use for daily backups of mission critical files.

This is a great out of the box solution. It was fairly easy to set up.

Uploading files via FTP or larger than 500MB takes days to weeks to upload due to constant server errors and disconnects.

We used the software to help us work with a customer in pinch during COVID-19. Easy to use and cost effective and was able to get it setup within hours.

It's been a positive experience. We moved from our own self-hosted SFTP server over to SmartFile.
