"Excellent tool for sharing and operations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

We use Papermark for internal memos, due diligence writeups, and sharing feedback of each incoming deck with partners. The interface is minimal which is great for viewing the documents and for upload & maintenance. The access control in a single place and sorting options makes a big difference when you are writing multiple investment notes a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

It works well but I wish there were more templates tailored for VCs like memo, landscape maps. The mobile usability is fine but not as good as web. I hope the team can make it better making reviewing pitch summaries on the go much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Internal memos, due diligence writeups, partner feedback on decks — you're using Papermark exactly the way I hoped teams would when we built it. Really makes my day to read this.

The templates idea for VCs is something I personally want to push forward.

"Love the viewing analytics it offers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I love the analytics capabilities the tool offers, we can see how long someone spent on a file, which pages they viewed, and when they viewed. The encryption and customization are also great for maintaining branding and safely share documents containing confidently data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Uploads can occasionally stall if the entire team is working on the same room at the same time during simultaneous uploads. The document viewing experience on mobile is not on par with the web interface, the web interface is very simple and offers a professional view for our documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thanks so much for the review and good feedback!

"Convenient for sharing reports"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I manage our ESG reporting with portfolio companies to gather the data. Papermark lets me manage everything from our companies and easily share those files with the LPs. I mostly use the folder tags it saves a lot of time when generating same type of reviews for each company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

We frequently use excel and such I wish there were a smooth integration with both excel and google sheets, since many of our ESG documents and templates are of spreadsheets. Papermark supports our required data formats and keeps well with uploads but in preview would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! Managing ESG reporting across portfolio companies and sharing with LPs is exactly the kind of structured workflow folder tags were built for, really glad it's saving you time.

Spreadsheet-heavy workflows like yours deserve a smoother experience there and it's on our roadmap.

Appreciate the feedback. Reach out anytime!

"Simple, intuitive, not overpriced."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The ease of use, SEO capabilities, and the overall dataroom tracking (and filtering capabilities therein). Compared to the standard go-to dataroom/document sharing platforms, Papermark isn't overpriced and covers most (if not all and more) of what the competition does, without costing an arm and a leg in the process.

We've been using it for our overall data sharing for our fundraise over the last few months and use it every other week when making updates. The overall implementation process has been very easy and works well for both technical and non-technical peers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The main issue we faced early on was document ingestion and processing for larger files, e.g., PDF decks, which sometimes even got stuck and didn't finish without getting help from the Papermark team.

Outside of this, we haven't really stumbled on any major hurdles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Felix, this means a lot, especially coming from someone deep in a fundraise where every tool gets stress tested.

The large PDF processing getting stuck early on is something we've put serious work into since then. It shouldn't require reaching out to us to get a file through and that experience is much more reliable now.

Let us know if there is anything else we can fix!

"Why We Switched from Internal Storage to Papermark"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark’s cloud sharing tool with the data room makes it perfect for keeping our entire deal flow in cloud. It has great access control and separate room creations which allows multiple team members to work at the same time. The expiration system for outbound links is my favourite for sharing and forgetting the confidential files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

They need to make link duplication for inbound links instead of republishing it. We currently download cloud links from other platforms and then upload it to our Papermark room which makes it difficult for processing daily incoming deals. It would be easier if we could just duplicate inbound links directly without having to republish everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Share and forget with expiring links for confidential files is one of those Papermark features I'm personally proud of, really glad it's become a favourite for your team.

The inbound link duplication workflow you described, downloading from other platforms just to re-upload into Papermark, is exactly the kind of daily friction that shouldn't exist. That's a concrete thing I want us to fix and it's going straight onto our list.

"Must have tools for VCs administration"
4/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark looks great and it really has a straight forward interface. Since the tool is open source, we host it inside our firm. It provides more ownership and allows us to handle both our internal and external document transfer securely. It also integrates well with our MFT keeping the data in sync with our backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

It is great that Papermark has email notification, but it needs some more work. The notifications are not displayed correctly on browsers and it only shows limited information, like who viewed the document. It would be very helpful if more details of doc analytics can be added to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Self-hosting Papermark inside your firm with MFT integration for backups is a seriously solid setup and exactly the kind of ownership we built the open source option for.

Richer email notifications with deeper doc analytics is great feedback. Knowing who viewed is just the start and Papermark should be surfacing much more in those alerts. It's on our roadmap and has moved up the list.

"Very good experience with Papermark and the team has been quick to implement suggestions"
5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I’m genuinely happy I made the switch from Dropbox to Papermark. It’s a tool designed not just for file storage, but for professional, secure, and brand-aligned sharing. With features like custom links, tailored form fields, and embedded NDAs, Papermark caters to users who need more than just a basic file-sharing solution. Combined with its excellent support and ease of use, it’s a smart choice for individuals and businesses alike looking to elevate how they distribute and protect their content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

While Papermark offers a robust feature set, there are still a few areas where continued improvement could enhance the platform even further:

Analytics Depth: While document tracking is available, more granular analytics—such as heatmaps or detailed session behavior—would be a welcome addition for those using the platform for sales enablement or content marketing.

User Admin Roles & Access Controls: It would be beneficial to have granular admin roles, allowing account owners to define different access levels for team members. For example, being able to share top-line analytics (such as views and downloads) without revealing personally identifiable information (PII) collected via custom forms would support better internal controls and data privacy.

Third-party Integrations: As of now, integration options with CRM systems or automation tools appear limited. Expanding this area would improve workflow automation for teams managing high volumes of document interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

This genuinely made me happy to read. Custom links, embedded NDAs, brand-aligned sharing, that's exactly the vision we had when building Papermark and hearing it described back so clearly means we're on the right track.

The three points you raised are all legitimate and honestly well articulated. Heatmaps and session behaviour are on our analytics roadmap. Granular admin roles with PII controls is a particularly sharp callout, especially for teams with internal data privacy requirements. And CRM integrations, we hear this constantly and need to move faster on it.

Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. This is exactly the kind of input that shapes what we build next.

"Simple and structured Data Room Tool"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Simple structure, easy access. No-nonsense functions. Good feedback from external data room users regarding tidiness, structure and simplicity, which is vital when dealing with investors and VCs. Easy access controls to manage data room access and groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Deleting docs is cumbersome as one has to type the doc name or some similar confirmation. Yes or no would do. A bit more customization in the data room GUI would be nice, the background image is a start but other colours and themes would be great (But nice to have).

For non disclosure purposes, it would be great, to just be able to add a short statement on confidentiality of the data room contents and that the user consents to this by logging in using his email address on the data room login page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Hearing that investors and VCs specifically compliment the tidiness and simplicity of the data room is exactly the kind of feedback that makes me feel we got something right with Papermark.

The delete confirmation flow is honestly something I find clunky myself. A simple yes/no is the right call and I don't know why we haven't just done it yet. The confidentiality statement on login is a smart idea too, especially for NDA-sensitive rooms. Both are going on the list.

"Best way to share important documents"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I manage all the intellectual property diligence and compliance at our org so document confidentiality is non-negotiable for me. Papermark tracking features ensures that our confidential documents aren’t being shared outside of our intended recipients which we use every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

There are few upload errors happen when we handle multiple documents at the same time and the video load time is taking a little longer but these are minor issues compared to the features it offers and I hope the Papermark team fix these issues soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! Document confidentiality for IP and compliance is one of the most important use cases we build for, so really glad the tracking features are giving you that peace of mind every day.

Bulk upload errors and video load times are both on our list and we're working through them. You'll see improvements there soon.

Appreciate the patience and kind words. Reach out anytime!

"Easy document sharing, especially for presentations"
5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark is my go-to tool for sharing documents internally with my teammates and externally. I can simply change my settings and access permissions while keeping the same link which is very convenient. The read analysis feature is very useful, it helps us understand what is perceived as important and where each visitor lose interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The problem is the ability to change the links viewing. The papermark is primarily designed with pitch deck in minds, so it lacks when sharing other documents types though it has many file attachments formats available. Sharing other file formats is fine but working on it while viewing is limited. I hope the team adds more features in the next update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Papermark, especially regarding the read analysis feature. We understand your concerns about the limitations when sharing other document types, and we will work on adding more features in the next update to address this.
