I really enjoy all of my ecounters with Firmex except the inability to use it from a mobile phone

PROS

The ability to easily move / copy documents

CONS

It is hard to use on a mobile phone and use from a mobile application standpoint

Vendor Response

We appreciate the positive feedback on the easy of use and copying documents which saves time and resources compared to other providers. Our platform can be used on a mobile web browser and we do offer an iOS app. The app isn't designed to be a complete substitute, it is meant to be able to store documents offline as well as make some changes remotely.

Best Dataroom Option

10/10 would recommend to anybody needing a dataroom.

PROS

It's incredibly intuitive, easy to set up, and has all the functionality of the more expensive dataroom sites. The flat cost is a huge benefit as well, I use it for every deal I'm a part of.

CONS

Not much to complain about to be honest. It has all the features you need, is easier to use than other sites, and is less expensive.

Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Ease of use, breadth of capabilities, price, and fixed fee pricing structure.

Firmex Virtual Data Room

For the Real Estate and Investment banking, the sharing of confidential documents within the company and taking on projects being in a group has been made easier. The legal documents and the finances which cannot be exposed can be accessed and updated from anywhere with Login access, for example on my iPhone. Tracking old files is much easier, as we go through sharing hundereds of files everyday with corrections pointed and re-corrected.

PROS

The custom sharing platform which is secured and the visibility control for employees. The best part of software is the document validity & password we can set and the people we can choose from list that can access or view the documents. Also the same document cannot be shared by E-mail or any other non Data-room platform and if done. We can control the share and track of the confidential documents.

CONS

The drawback of this software is that we cannot assign different permission or access levels to people in same group. Also, the time stamp cannot be changes to local time, it's always EST available.

Vendor Response

Hello! Thank you for using Firmex. We pride ourselves on our customer service and you having the best experience. In the future, we would be happy to show you how to set user-based permissions in the data room. It's a function we have to set from our end, as group-based permission is the preference of a majority of our users, it's our default. In terms of time zones, increased functionality is on our road map. As it stands now all of our reports can be run at any time zone, be it est, your time zone, or anyone you choose. Happy to jump on a quick call at your convenience. Thanks you, Jason @ Client Success

User Friendly and Useful

We use Firmex as a data room for mergers and acquisitions. It is very helpful in the due diligence process. The security and organizational features are also good, as it allows us to grant or deny access to the various files based upon the user and the stage of the transaction.

PROS

It is easy to upload and organize data and documents.

CONS

The initial set up of a new matter is somewhat cumbersome. However, we don't have any substantial cons.

PROS

Easy user interface allows non-familiar teams to upload information. Management teams are able to collaborate with the sell side group to upload information. Much easier to use than Dropbox.

CONS

Item limits per page. (ie. only being able to see 200 files per page when looking at all files

Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Familiarity with the firmex products/ have heard less than stellar reviews about their system from people that have used it.

Vendor Response

Austin, thanks for the feedback and taking the time to review Firmex. Our users find that the 200 limit is more then enough file names within a page before it becomes difficult to navigate through. We would love to know if you are seeing this available with other providers you use or what the optimal number of items per page would be. James - Director of M&A Coverage

Review of Firmex

It has been great. Never been overbilled. The team provides a heads up if you are reaching storage capacity vs. simply upping your bill. I've never had a client unable to understand how to use or access the data room.

PROS

I love the ease of setting it up. Other products have more features as far as downloading and tracking, but everyone does bulk downloading so it is irrelevant. You get the key features you need: Accessed, % downloaded, ability to revise documents, etc.

CONS

I haven't had any issues with the software. The customer service is the best I've seen. Very amenable if a transaction takes longer or goes on pause (i.e., they are willing to be flexible with pause periods and/or affordable monthly extensions)

Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Appreciate the feedback on how bulk upload/download has been helpful in your process. We are one of the only providers if not the only provider that allows you to upload up to 50 GB at a time. What might help with the permission of users/groups is our View As tool which can give you sightlines into what those guest user groups can/can't see. I do however understand the feedback and is something our product team is investigating with our new UX/UI release.

As for data limits, we offer a fixed pricing model for storage compared to the archaic per page model a few of our competitors are still billing on. There are reports in the product to let you know of your data limits, as well as notifications sent so there are no surprises should you go over those limits.
