### "Ease of Use, Functionality and Customer Service"

August 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

Firmex is an easy to use software with an intuitive interface and helpful customization options. In addition, I've had only positive experiences dealing with their team who are always prompt and effective when troubleshooting any issues.

Cons

No cons. The report section could potentially be clearer about what reports can be run, but whenever I'm unsure I reach out to the Firmex team and they provide helpful instructions.

### "Easy handling and high standards"

February 24, 2023

4.0

Pros

I really like that you can control the role of every group member and that you can use the bulk upload to save time. Additionally, our clients oftentimes ask to get a notification if something happens in the data room, hence, the immediate message feature is great.

Cons

I don't like that you have to manually refresh the page once you've uploaded a file.

### "Highly Recommend"

July 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

Super easy to use. Good interface and easy to add groups.

Cons

Sometimes the order of which files drop in is messed up so have to reorganize it

Review Source

Response from Firmex

August 9, 2022

Thanks for the feedback and appreciate the insight. The way our platform operates is that folders and files that are uploaded from an internal database are mirrored in Firmex and numbered based on an automated numbering schema. I would be interested to know where the files are being dropped in and which uses are adding the documents. We want to make sure the platform is operating as advertised, feel free to reach out.

### "FirmEx Review -SPW"

September 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

The documents are secure, you can drag and drop files, it is easy to decipher which files are new and you can set different access controls for different groups / individuals

Cons

I dislike how FirmEx does not have sales reps "wining and dining". If it were up to me, this fact alone would make me want to switch to another provider who connects and builds relationships with its partners such as taking them to sporting events and catering lunches.

5.0

During a transaction, I will access the Firmex Virtual Data Room to conduct legal due diligence

Pros

Documents are secure, notifications are prompt, organization is easy to follow

Review Source

Response from Firmex

August 9, 2022

Thanks for the positive feedback on the security and ease of use. In terms of the feature improvement, we do have our Firmex Viewer which allows you to preview a document without downloading. As for bulk download, it would be great to understand what improvements you would like to see. Please reach out, if you are interested in discussing further, as our product team is always interested in customer feedback on core features that can be improved.

### "Firmex Review"

November 24, 2022

4.0

I greatly enjoy the Firmex Dataroom both as a person organizing a VDR, and a person conducting diligence fin a VDR

Pros

Folders, and panel on the left make navigation very easy

Cons

Search ability (competitors have better content searching, and Boolean searching)

Review Source

Response from Firmex

December 9, 2022

Thanks for the feedback on the ease of navigating documents and folders within the left hand panel. We are looking at updating the look and feel, so stay tuned to those updates coming out in 2023. As for search functionality, we offer OCR search within documents, along with the ability to Boolean search within the platform. I'm interested to hear where you think this falls short, feel free to reach out as we are always looking to make improvements.

great experience and i highly recommend anyone who wants to use it as a Virtual Data Room.

Pros

the ease of use and how simple the layout and operation is but the control it gives you.

Cons

sometimes it slowed down in certain datarooms but this could have been because there was thousands.

### "Stotz Firmex Review"

January 15, 2021

4.0

For the price, this product is a fantastic value. Easy to use and has most of the features we need without all of the unnecessary functions that some other providers have added to their platforms.

Pros

Easy to use, straightforward, comes with all of the major features we use.

Cons

Could add some additional document restriction features. For example, other data rooms allow you to restrict access down to the individual document and individual user level, which comes in handy. To my knowledge, this is not a Firmex feature.

Reason for choosing Firmex Virtual Data Room

Price and ease of use.

Review Source

Response from Firmex

April 16, 2021

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback. This may not be generally known, but we do offer document level permissions. It is something the admin of the data room has to request our support team to turn on because it does impact your folder level permissions. Our support team would advise you to create a separate sub-folder for the individual document and permission the sub-folder accordingly. I am happy to have one of my reps or a support team member walk you through this if you would like. James - Director of M&A Coverage

### "Firmex works for legal practice"

May 6, 2019

5.0

Overall I've found Firmex support to be outstanding. You get answers quickly and they are helpful when dealing with our clients.

Pros

I like that our clients don't need any special training or hand holding to use the software. Once they login it is very simple to upload/download documents and understand without special training. I also really like the different levels of security, as we often have multiple clients with different levels of access all in the same document room.

Cons

I can't think of anything at the moment that I'm dissatisfied with.

June 11, 2022

5.0

Excellent as a data room

Pros

We were very impressed with the help we received on establishing our data room. We use this for all document sharing with directors and investors as well as a data room for potential investors. It is easy to use, upload documents, re sort the data etc. as well as set up user groups with defined permissions. I would not hesitate recommend or to use Firmex again

Cons

Nothing, It is good software and i have no negative comments

Pros

It's very intuitive and easy to use and the bulk adding if users is very helpful.

### "Excellent product for virtual dataroom"

July 24, 2022

5.0

Very positive and intuitive for all users. No issues from other users either.

Pros

Very easy to use, quick to set up and quick to modify, make changes, add / remove files, create folder structure, etc. Strong ability to control user access as well.

Cons

Folders collapse when you upload a file and you have to refresh. Cannot drag and drop files between folders.

Review Source

Response from Firmex

August 9, 2022

Thanks for the positive feedback in regards to the ease of us and the set up of our VDR, as well as the user permissions. As for the folder collapsing, we are in the process of updating our UI/UX to address this issue. You can drag and drop files between folders, with 6 dots to the left of the file name, once you grab those you can pull a file into another folder or sub-folder as needed. My support team is happy to walk you through this if needed.

### "Excellent Customer Service & User Support"

October 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like the easy access, but would like as a user to have more influence over the creation of folder and indexing of questions. The customer support is outstanding in the cases I have taken advantage of it 24/7/365!

Cons

Uploading of documents created in Office by a user directly.

Review Source

Response from Firmex

November 14, 2022

Thanks for the feedback on the ease of use and how great our customer support team is as these are some of our competitive advantages within the industry. As for uploading documents by users directly, I would be interested to better understand this as it may be a user permissioning issue and not having access to upload. You can set folder level permissions to allow guest users the ability to upload to specific folders and not have full admin rights. Our support team would be able to walk you through this if needed.

Pros

The data room is very user friendly and easy to use. We also love the data security features.

Cons

Response from Firmex

Thanks for the feedback on how user friendly the platform is as that is one of our main competitive advantages within the data room space. Since our emails that are sent out for notifications are having spam issues, we also have the ability to in app message within the platform, as well as utilizing our Q&A function can users ask and answer questions.

September 26, 2022

Great experience with great customer care

Pros

We use firmex's data room to run procurements of multiple projects at once. My favorite feature if the ability to set permissions to certain folders, which allows us to separate who can see what.

Cons

Being able to work directly in a document via Firmex would be useful (similar to Teams)

Very good experience; again, great customer service which was key to some time critical work several times, regardless of time of day or night

Pros

24/7 professional and affable customer service helped me when I needed it (even late nights) very professionally, efficiently, and affably. Also, the system was relatively easy to use once I got used to it.

Cons

Had to replicate file uploads each time; no tag to put same file into different folders automatically

Thanks for the feedback in regards to our support team, as we pride ourselves on having an award-winning, in-house, 24/7 support team. I am interested to better understand what you mean by tagging files, I assume you are looking at duplicating documents to go in separate folders. Perhaps better understanding your process and use case we can determine a solution within the platform that best fits your needs.
