"A Secure and Organized Platform for Managing Due Diligence"
What do you like best about Datasite Diligence?

The security and structure stand out the most. Permission controls, activity tracking, and audit logs provide confidence when sharing confidential data. The interface is also well designed for navigating large document sets without feeling chaotic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datasite Diligence?

Some advanced features take time to learn, especially for first-time users. The platform is powerful, but new users may need guidance to fully understand permissions, indexing, and reporting. A simpler onboarding flow would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, Structured Data Room with Powerful Search, Q&A, and Admin Controls"
What do you like best about Datasite Diligence?

What I like most about Datasite Diligence is how reliable and structured it feels during high-pressure diligence phases. When timelines are tight and multiple stakeholders are accessing documents at the same time, Datasite holds up smoothly and without friction. I like the systematic approach that I get with this software.

The search and indexing are genuinely strong. Even in very large data rooms, I can find documents quickly, which ends up saving hours over the course of a deal. The Q&A module is another major plus: it keeps buyer questions, responses, and related document references clearly organized, rather than scattered across emails and spreadsheets.

From an admin perspective, the permission controls and audit trails are extremely helpful. I can confidently manage who sees what, track document activity, and generate reports that are actually usable for internal reviews and compliance needs.

Overall, the biggest upside is confidence—confidence that nothing will break, nothing will get misplaced, and everyone is working from the same source of truth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datasite Diligence?

I think the the biggest drawback about Datasite is the cost. The software is clearly designed for serious transactions, but that also means it can feel overpowered, at times complicated and expensive, especially for smaller or mid-sized deals where a lighter solution would be enough.

There’s also a learning curve for first-time users, especially on the admin side. Even though the platform is very capable, some workflows aren’t immediately intuitive, and new users often need guidance to take full advantage of features like permissions, Q&A routing, and reporting.

From a UX perspective, the interface is functional, but it doesn’t feel particularly modern or customizable. It gets the job done, yet it doesn’t always come across as fast or flexible as newer SaaS tools.

Lastly, bulk uploads and reorganizing folder structures can sometimes feel slower than expected, particularly when you’re working with very large volumes of files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Secure Platform with Insightful Workflow and Risk Reporting"
What do you like best about Datasite Diligence?

This is very secured platform to manage confidential business transactions. The workflow and reporting gives a detailed insight about different types of potential risks involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datasite Diligence?

The cost feels too high compared to other platforms, especially for a new user looking to subscribe. At times, the platform becomes very slow, and getting information quickly (even within a second) isn’t always reliable. On top of that, the review process also seems a bit time-consuming as it requires users to open files individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datasite Diligence?

I love most part of this platform but I wish that the price was little lower. This platform is really easy to use for general users but things might be different for the user that is looking after the platform for an organization. It may take some time for the administrator to be very efficient managing this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Secure Data Management Simplified"
What do you like best about Datasite Diligence?

I like how simple and reliable Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room feels during actual use. The document organization is very clear, making it easy to upload, structure, and find files even when handling a large number of documents. The permission controls are a standout feature, allowing precise access management for different users, which is crucial for handling confidential information. I really appreciate the activity tracking and audit logs because they provide transparency without needing constant follow-ups. The platform’s performance is stable, and navigation is intuitive, enabling both experienced users and new team members to work comfortably. Overall, it feels well-designed for real-world due diligence work, helping to keep everything organized, secure, and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datasite Diligence?

Overall, the experience has been good, but there are a few areas that could be improved. For new users, some advanced features take a bit of time to fully understand, so clearer in-platform guidance or short tutorials would be helpful. Occasionally, managing very large file uploads can feel slightly slow, especially when working with heavy documents. Customization options for the interface and reporting could also be expanded to better match different team preferences and workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brit Boorman of Datasite Diligence

"Secure and User-Friendly for High-Stakes Transactions"
What do you like best about Datasite Diligence?

I rely on Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room to centralize and organize sensitive documents in high-stakes transactions like mergers and acquisitions. I like the combination of top-tier security and ease of use. The platform makes it simple to manage highly confidential documents while maintaining strict control over user access, which is critical during due diligence and sensitive transactions. Top-tier security is one of the biggest reasons Datasite is so valuable to me, knowing that sensitive documents are protected through advanced encryption, granular permission controls, and detailed audit logs gives me complete confidence. The initial setup of Datasite was fairly straightforward, especially with the help of Datasite's onboarding resources and customer support. Setting up the data room structure, uploading documents, and configuring user permissions was easy to manage, even with large volumes of files. I also use Datasite alongside other tools like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, which support the full workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datasite Diligence?

There are a few areas that could be improved. For new users, the platform can feel feature-heavy, which may create a learning curve without initial guidance or onboarding. A more simplified mode or customizable interface for smaller projects would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
