"A game changer for LPs reporting and investor relations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

Papermark has changed the way we used to share quarterly reports and portfolio company info with our limited partners. The analytics show how LPs are engaging with the deal flow and version control allows us to fix mistakes even after sharing. The branding feature is what made us keep using Papermark over dropbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The email notifications system primarily needs improvement, the feature is one of the most essential but it still lacks to fulfil requirement. The notification only provides that the document is just viewed but it needs to provide more detailed information about the analytics of the view. It still needs a platform login for such details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Quarterly LP reports with live engagement analytics, version control that survives a mistake after sending, and branding that makes every touchpoint feel professional, really glad all three are landing well for your IR workflow.

Richer notification analytics is one of the most requested things on our list.

"Great open-source cloud hosting platform for VCs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

We use Papermark every day to share our internal documents with our LPs and to look the incoming pitch decks from founders. We used to request founders to share links with drop box or google earlier on, but we switched to Papermark now. The version control and transparency (who viewed what and when) is very useful especially when coordinating across team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

The documents search options and sorting could be made better, it is hard to locate a required doc when the document mark crosses 100+. Need more integration with existing CRM and LP management software. All in all, the tool does the job well for doc sharing, there are just improvements to be made to make it line with VC operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Switching from Dropbox and Google links to Papermark for both LP sharing and founder intake is exactly the consolidation we want to enable for VC teams.

Search and sorting at 100+ documents is a real pain point and one we're addressing. CRM and LP management integrations are also on the roadmap, those connections matter a lot for how VCs actually operate and Papermark needs to fit into that stack better.

"One tool for pitch decks to term sheets"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

In investor relations, document security and the access control are key in how we do things and Papermark does a great job here. It has an end-to-end encryption and adjustable permission control for when we share sensitive documents from our portfolio companies to the investors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

I would appreciate a better mobile experience than what we have right now, it is manageable for a short go on but if we were to handle document all in the mobile, especially for LPs who are often on the go, UI could use a little more work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Thank you for this! End-to-end encryption and granular permission control for sharing sensitive portfolio documents with investors is exactly what Papermark is built for, really glad it's holding up well for your IR workflow.

The mobile experience is fair feedback. LPs reviewing documents on the go deserve a smoother experience and Papermark's mobile UI needs more work to get there. It's something we're actively improving.

Appreciate the kind words. Reach out anytime!

"Papermark cuts down our work hours a lot!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

What stands out is how easily I can embed charts, links, founder decks, and collaborative comments all in one place. It feels like Notion and Google Docs is together, but that’s totally built with a VC use case in mind. There is no learning curve and onboarding existing doc collections is very easy even when we are used to traditional document systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Papermark Virtual Data Room?

As an analyst focused on early-stage investing, Papermark has become one of the most used tools of mine. The major drawback I think is the view page loading time. Sometimes the documents take a while to load but it usually happens on document with higher file size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Iuliia Shnai of Papermark Virtual Data Room

Nobody has ever described Papermark quite like that before — and I love it. Built for VCs is exactly the intent.

The loading lag on bigger files, noted. We're on it.

"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!

As we constantly trying to improve our service, I would love to understand what troubles did you experience with uploads for the team. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team, we will help you with it.

"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.
