# Is Datasite Diligence actually worth it for M&A software teams managing large enterprise deployments?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For enterprise teams, whether Datasite Diligence is worth its premium depends heavily on security and audit requirements.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"><strong>The case for it:</strong> Reviewers value granular permissions, compliance controls, activity tracking, and recurring use across sensitive deals.

&lt;p&gt;The capability that tends to justify the premium is the audit trail itself, being able to prove exactly who saw what and when, which becomes non-negotiable the moment a deal gets contested or a regulator asks questions. I&#39;ve noticed reviewers get specific about the cost side of that trade-off too: one enterprise investment banking reviewer praised Datasite&#39;s analytical capabilities and 24/7 support, but pointed to line-item costs like paying for a physical USB archive as the kind of charge that&#39;s hard for their own clients to rationalize. So the premium tends to earn its keep on the audit/security side, while the friction shows up in these smaller add-on fees rather than the core subscription itself.&lt;/p&gt;
