Associate Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Datasite: the Best Option" October 1, 2025 4.0 I use Datasite for roughly 10 deals a year and it is the best option that I've experienced. The only things I would improve are: the download mechanics (just start the download immediately without needing to navigate to a new screen and don't send me emails about my download being ready), the index UI feels a bit clunky, and the search feature struggles to pick up the contents of documents where uploading the contents to a doc review software and searching does capture the contents of easily readable documents. Pros Being able to see the date of uploads and sort by "New". This is huge, along with the icon telling you if you've downloaded a document yet -- other data rooms make it near impossible to track what has been added to the room. Cons The download mechanics. I wish I didn't need to click at least 4 times and receive emails every time I want to download a decent amount of documents. I would love for the download to just begin without needing to navigate to the downloads screen. Review Source Response from Datasite October 15, 2025 Hi, Jonathan! Thank you for your thoughtful review of Datasite Diligence! We're pleased to hear that the platform has made it easier to track and organize your deal materials. We also love to hear feedback from our frequent users! Your comments about the download experience, index structure, and search feature have been passed along to our Product team. This allows us to continue to enhance the platform for dealmakers like you. Thank you for your continued partnership with Datasite! We look forward to supporting you with the same premier experience you have come to expect. Best, The Datasite Team PW Perry W. Associate Investment Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Datasite Review" September 30, 2025 5.0 I am extremely satisfied with our experience to date. I have been using Datasite my entire career and find it to always be an incredibly useful tool. Pros Datasite Diligence VDR does a lot for our firm from allowing us to review who is viewing documents to keeping encrypted files safe for our clients. We use Datasite for each process we run and think it to be useful for clients and counterparties. The user interface is extremely easy to use and easy to learn, many of our blue collar clients use it with ease. Would highly recommend. Cons Some items are a bit pricey for us and our clients. It is a premium product which makes sense, but ~$1,500 for a single encrypted USB is wild. Review Source Response from Datasite October 1, 2025 Hi, Perry. Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of Datasite Diligence! We're thrilled to hear that you and your clients have found the platform to be a secure and user-friendly solution for your due diligence processes. As an alternative to encrypted physical media, we recommend storing deal records securely with Datasite Archive, which is now complimentary with every Diligence and Acquire project. When closing a data room, a complete compliance archive is now automatically preserved, and hosted indefinitely by default. You can easily add users, set an expiration date, or close your archive at any time.

Best, The Datasite Team AA Ankit A. AVP Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent document management platform" September 25, 2025 5.0 Very good experience using the data room for capital market fund raising transaction. The file management was intuitive and provided a great learning curve. Managed 4 separate projects after the initial one. Pros Good document management system along with folder structures and easy navigation plus prompt customer support. Cons A bit expensive for value for money. Also, the relationship manager for my account changed mid-way, so the new manager's response rate was slow.

Manager- project Finance Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest review" August 18, 2025 5.0 I like it and will recommend it to other colleagues. Seem less experience and easy to use. Definitely, better than many other available in the market. Pros Best site to collaborate data between multiple stakeholders. Very Easy to use and anyone can learn it. Cons Nothing specific, sometimes it takes time to upload data but that problem depends on network speed. I personally did not get any difficulty.

I think it's relatively easy to organize and easy to learn how to use as compared to other data rooms. Cons I wish you could search by Doc IDs/location numbers in addition to just searching for document contents or titles. Review Source Response from Datasite October 14, 2025 Hi, Alex!

Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convenient and easy to use" September 30, 2025 5.0 Pros Very convenient and easy to use. The data room is clearly laid out, and the folders and files are easy to access. It is simple to add, edit and download documents. I especially appreciate that is is extremely easy to find newly added materials. Cons Too many subfolders! Granted, that may have been how the user set up the data room, but it does get frustrating to navigate too many levels of subfolders. Review Source Response from Datasite October 1, 2025 Hey there, Catherine! We were so glad to read your review, and pleased that you find Datasite easy to use and navigate.

Director Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "EYP AW Datasite Review" September 30, 2025 4.0 Overall, my experience has been very positive. It’s a platform I enjoy using and trust for diligence projects. While a few functionalities around data request mapping and follow-ups could be streamlined or made more user-friendly, the strengths of the platform outweigh the drawbacks. With minor improvements in those areas, it would be close to perfect. Pros I really enjoy how intuitive and polished the overall platform is. It’s fast, organized, and makes collaboration across diligence teams very manageable. The document management, user permissions, and general navigation are strong, and it feels like a reliable tool for complex transactions. Cons Some features tied to request tracking—specifically mapping documents to data requests and handling follow-up requests—are less intuitive and can feel cumbersome. The user flow in those areas isn’t as smooth as the rest of the platform, which slows down organization and oversight at times. Review Source Response from Datasite October 1, 2025 Greetings, Anthony! Thank you so much for your review of Datasite Diligence. Really glad you find our core tools to be strong and reliable. Good to hear your feedback on request tracking, too. I have passed along the Trackers notes to our Product team. Thanks for sharing!

Easy download to work with files on desktop. Pros Easy to navigate and search. Fast file download. Easy to access files when I'm on the road for business travel.
