Venue is a good choice for a virtual data room. The sales rep I deal with is extremely friendly and always willing to be flexible and help with pricing, general support, etc. The pricing structure is also good as monthly billing remains the same up to certain size thresholds. This makes it much easier to forecast total cost for our client - other virtual data room providers don't offer this style of pricing. The VDR design is also very professional and rivals the large competitor. I have also not had any issues with downtime or the platform not working, etc. The platform is easy to use for both the administrator and user. I was able to learn how to operate the VDR very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The large competitor provides a redaction tool that is very useful and works very well (i.e. you can redact parts of a document directly in the VDR. It would be great if DFIN Venue could also develop a similar service as this is a time consuming task for M&A processes and having a redaction tool directly in the VDR is a large time saver. Also opening the data room is a bit more of tedious process with DFIN compared to the large competitor. DFIN requires you to fill in a long form to determine the main VDR functionalities and settings. In the large competitor's VDR, the settings are editable in the platform so you can make changes as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We're glad to hear that you find our pricing structure predictable and our support friendly and flexible. We appreciate your feedback on the redaction tool and the opening process, and we will take it into consideration for future improvements.
