"A simple yet powerful tool for document sharing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I love how simple it is, there is no learning curve at all from the basic to the advanced features all of them are made to be used by both legacy users and people who are new to the tool. We use it regularly to keep the portfolio company updates with our stakeholders and LPs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Few of the recipients we used the link with to send mails said our mails with the active links lands the mail in spam folder. I wish there were some more feature existed like more visualising like the exiting dashboard and batch settings to be applied on the entire folder subdocuments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! Keeping Papermark intuitive for both new and experienced users is something we care a lot about, so really glad it's coming through for your LP and stakeholder updates.

The spam issue is something we take seriously and are actively working to improve email deliverability on our end. On the visualisation and batch settings front, both are great ideas and exactly the kind of depth Papermark needs to add next.

Appreciate the feedback. Reach out anytime!

"Great for sharing decks and managing documents"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I handle the high volume of pitch decks sent to our firm and sometimes involve in due diligence, I found the bulk upload feature for Papermark really useful in both case. The document search also works well and help me locate files from months ago without digging through email threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The mobile experience needs some improvement, it is not as the same level as of the web interface. I sometime review docs on my mobile between meetings and it not the same. The documents take a while to load but it occurs occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Bulk uploads for high-volume pitch decks and document search that saves you from digging through old email threads are two of Papermark's most practical features for exactly your kind of role, glad they're holding up.

Mobile is a known gap and reviewing docs between meetings deserves a much smoother experience than what we offer today. It's an active focus for us right now.

"Perfect for sharing confidential documents"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

We were always searching for right file versions across email threads, the thread was endless with mismatching versions of the same document when the deals are moving fast on the final stage of negotiations. Now we share dynamic legal documents with single link and just monitor the access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Currently the access control either restrict the entire document or allows it on proving the recipient, but we need to have more control. I would like to lock down specific sections of the document we shared and only visible to the founders, and their counsel. In this way, we can a single sensitive doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for sharing this! Endless email threads with mismatched versions during fast-moving deals is a pain we built Papermark specifically to eliminate, really glad the single dynamic link approach is working for your team.

Section-level access control is a genuinely sharp idea, especially for legal documents where different parties should only see their parts. It's more granular than what Papermark offers today but it's exactly the kind of feature we want to build.

"Great alternative to docsend"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark is very simple, has easy interface and brings must needed features to the sidebar and have the visitor dashboard right where we login, these are my favourites features. What I love is the updatable link with password and access control, we can just share a link that never changes and keep on tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

It needs more permissions, when various departments use same document room. We currently have separate rooms for each department, so it is kind of a double work. I would also like to see tag features with color and icons for easy document filtering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! A single link that never changes, stays password protected, and keeps tracking is one of those Papermark features that sounds simple but makes a big operational difference.

Department-level permissions within a single room would remove a lot of that double work and we know it's a gap. Colored we've done but icon tags for filtering is also a nice touch we haven't done yet.

"Perfect for measuring viewing engagements"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The best thing I like about Papermark is that we can pin point which sections of the memos our LPs are skipping and compare the data with previous quarters. This helps us to prioritise follows up to the LPs and adjust the interest accordingly. It gives them a personalised touch on our memos, keeping them engagement with active fundraising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The tracking is powerful but Papermark needs more integrations with other data tools. Right now, I manually export the document data and clean the data before using it in our existing tools. Right now, it has only one visualization for the view data, a bar chart. It would be great if there can be dotted matrix and such data representation visual which we can direly import to memos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! Pinpointing which sections LPs skip and comparing across quarters to personalise follow-ups is honestly one of the most sophisticated uses of Papermark analytics we've seen. Really glad it's driving your fundraising strategy.

Manually exporting and cleaning data before it's usable is exactly the kind of friction that shouldn't exist. More integrations with data tools and richer visualisations beyond the bar chart are both on our radar. The dotted matrix idea is noted specifically.

"An alternative to dropbox"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

A perfect platform for collaboration. If I send a document to a founder and the partner wants to weigh in, they can see all the activity with just the same shared link, with no email forwarding. I like how simple it is to use and they kept all the advanced features to the setting page and only the frequently used up on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Not much, but better version control and notifications would make the entire tool more useful. Only the only to keep track of the document tractions is from the dashboard and the notifications only informs the document has a view from the email address, nothing more than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

No email forwarding, no confusion over who saw what — just one link that keeps everyone on the same page. Really glad that's working smoothly for your founder and partner workflows in Papermark.

A viewed ping with just an email address is not enough context and we agree. Richer notifications and better version control are both actively being worked on.

"The best open-source document sharing tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark is open source and I like to use open-source tools whenever possible. The team actively support the open source initiatives and it is very rare for such a VC tool to be open source. It allows us to hosting inside our firm’s domain using the custom domain features with our branding options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The only thing I dislike about Papermark is the notifications. The email notifications are too basic. The tool needs login every time to view the dashboard for little context about the visitor but the primary dashboard has multiple visitor tracking information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Hi ! Thanks so much for the positive review and excited to see open source fan here. As we constantly trying to improve our product, I was wondering what would you add in email with notifications. Which informations we should add, so it would be easier to see the context on tracking?

We also at the moment work on ability to directly integrate slack to receive notifications there.

"Papermark is a great tool for deal flow management"
4/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

We used to lose track of pitch decks in email threads. As a junior, my job is to keep sourcing deals and outreach documents to our founders. Papermark has become a part of how we manage deal flow and file sharing. Now all our documents are traceable and has simple revoke controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I would like to see more integrations with other deck tools and data room features, like with Notion. The email logins should be changed, it is great for SSO but it should have password logging regular operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Losing pitch decks in email threads is exactly the problem Papermark was built to solve, really glad it's become part of your deal flow and outreach process.

Password-based login alongside SSO is a fair ask and something we're looking at. More integrations beyond Notion are also coming. Keep an eye out.

"Papermark, the ops tool you never knew you needed"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

We manage both our internal documents we create and the deal flow pitch from the founders using Papermark. There is a strong folder system and has multiple permission access control, so it works well for both managing the documents in the cloud and sharing the documents securely for the intended recipient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

When handling both internal firm documents and deal flow, it is easily getting pile up, for links to get out of hand without grouping options. The tag functions which Papermark recently released helps but I sometimes wish there were more extensive grouping options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! Using Papermark for both internal docs and deal flow in one place with layered permission control is exactly the kind of dual workflow we want to support well.

The link organisation point is fair. Papermark's tag feature was a first step but we know it's not enough when things pile up at scale. More extensive grouping options are on our radar and your feedback is a good push to move faster on that.

"Great platform for venture doing due diligence"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark keeps our entire due diligence on cloud and the access controls keeps the portfolio proprietary information secure throughout our evaluation process. Receiving due diligence process was chaotic with documents via email and its constant needs for version updates, but Papermark seamlessly keeps everything on links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The platform is great with just some minor performance bugs. The document upload sometimes become non responsive when uploading multiple documents, the issue happens on Firefox. The page becomes stuck and needs a refresh for us to resume work, but it does not occur frequently so that is manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Chaotic email threads with constant version requests during due diligence is something a lot of VCs tell us about. Really glad Papermark has brought some order to that process for your team.

The Firefox upload freeze is an issue we've been working since your review, let us know directly if you are still facing it.
