Investment Banking Associate Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/30/2026 "Professional, Easy-to-Use VDR with Predictable Pricing and Friendly Support" 3.5/5 What do you like best about DFIN Venue? 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. What do you dislike about DFIN Venue? 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. What problems is DFIN Venue solving and how is that benefiting you? DFIN is a more cost effective VDR provider than the large competitor. It is also a professional and well running service with great customer service so overall it is an attractive option when deciding what data room to use for an M&A process.

What I like best about DFIN Venue is how easy it is to upload and manage documents, which helps keep workflows efficient and organized. Their technical support team is highly responsive and knowledgeable, and the overall client service is exceptional. I also appreciate the client events and outings, which provide valuable opportunities to build relationships and connect with the broader DFIN team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DFIN Venue? What I dislike most about DFIN Venue is that pricing can occasionally be a hurdle for more cost-sensitive clients. While the platform delivers strong value through its functionality, service, and support, it can sometimes be challenging to communicate those benefits when compared to lower-cost alternatives. That said, the DFIN client services team is very receptive to these concerns and does an excellent job working with clients to address them and demonstrate the value the platform provides. Provide your feedback on BizChat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DFIN Venue solving and how is that benefiting you? DFIN Venue is helping automate many of the manual and time-consuming tasks associated with managing a data room. One example is its AI-powered intelligence and redaction capabilities, which can significantly reduce the time spent reviewing and preparing documents. This improves efficiency, helps minimize the risk of human error, and allows our team to focus more on higher-value activities rather than administrative tasks.

The UI is straightforward and simple. It’s been easy to navigate, and the features make it easy to find files quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DFIN Venue? I dislike the login system - there is 2fa every single time I need to access the VDR from the buyer perspective. I also feel like the platform is a bit barebones and lacks a more descriptive interface regarding file navigation. This would be useful from the buyside when trying to find files.
