Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros The software is very easy to use. Contracts are accessible everywhere I go, documents can easily be shared. ContractZen in safe to use. Easy to use, rapid installation, data model and support for e-signing. The roll out was straight forward: the user interface was easy to understand and did not require long sessions on usage. The biggest benefits for us are the alerts on contracts requiring review or activity and the speed of e-signing once agreement has been reached. For a small company owner like me, the managing the documentation of contracts, Board meetings and Shareholder meetings had been an overwhelming task before ContractZen. The easy to use user interface keeps my documentation up to date and safe. The thing I like the most is the sharing, commenting and signing of the important documents from one platform. Cons Hopefully the standard pricing won’t get any higher. I am looking for the iOS client. But not a huge problem, I tend to use ContractZen from mobile browser instead. There really are no Cons from my point of view. Works like a charm for my needs.		Pros from Real Users Pros Datasite provides a user-friendly and intuitive virtual data room experience. The platform is easy to navigate, making it straightforward to upload, organize, and review documents, even during complex diligence processes involving multiple parties. Features such as robust search functionality, clear folder structures, granular permission settings, and detailed activity tracking help improve efficiency and transparency throughout a transaction. Overall, Datasite is a reliable and functional VDR solution that supports a smooth due diligence process while minimizing administrative burden for both sell-side teams and buy-side counterparties. Team Datasite helped us move quickly, providing a contract and training session on short notice. The platform was intuitive, allowing us to set up a small data room and go live within two days. Permission settings were highly customizable for both internal and external teams. relatively easy to setup, good customer support who is quick to respond. getting users setup is very easy and can do it with a mobile phone. Easy to use, like that everything is date stamped so easier to find newly uploaded items. The search function works well too. Datasite allows us to efficiently manage and coordinate the diligence process, from gathering info from our clients, to quickly reviewing within the site and packaging up go share. Easiest process to manage permissions and buyer capabilities within the site. How easy it was to download files. I was fearful that I could not download, but it was simple and intuitive to do so. Easy to search. I use the Datasite platform a lot. I find that it is user friendly and very easy to navigate through the folders and documents. I like that it has a folder for "new" documents and another for "downloads", which makes it easier to find what you need in a timely manner. I love the notifications / updates and how you can track what has been recently loaded by the seller (other data rooms do not have that functionality). I also like the sleek design (there are other VDRs out there that look 10+ years older than Datasite) Super fast and easy to use; love that it opens files in separate browser windows; downloads are easy and I like the option for different file name formats
