Intralinks VDRPro

Works Well For Storing Documents

Pros:

I like the ease of storing documents. This software allows rather large files to be uploaded and organized.

Cons:

The search feature doesn't always work. Versions of documents don't live together, rather they are uploaded as "copy" which can get messy.

Great product with incredible customer service

Comments: - Have used Intralinks VIA extensively over the past 9 years

Pros:

- Very quick and helpful customer service - no wait time - High level of functionality / features

Cons:

- More expensive than other options - Would like an option to securely share files on a one-off basis without needing to set up a dataroom

Intralinks VDR Review for Private Placement Deal

Comments: Satisfied with my experience, and our team was able to get a deal done with Intralinks with no hiccups in the way

Pros:

The ability to leverage AI (called Dealio) to get summarized information quickly and efficiently without needing to read through a 300+ page public filing document

Cons:

UI is not exactly as user-friendly as competing vendors, although it seems Intralinks is revamping their website experience

Avoid Intralinks at all costs!

Comments: The initial experience: Dated, complicated and clunky interface and setup process. Setting up a virtual data room shouldn't be so complicated. Ongoing bugs required frequent communication with Intralinks support. The time that should have been spent on document gathering and uploading was spent trying to get answers, help, and issues resolved. Managing Intralinks became a full-time job. Training others on how to use Intralinks took up so much time -- again, this time should have been used for completing the due dilligence process. Eventually, due to the ongoing issues, all parties involved in the due diligence process agreed that Intralinks was slowing the process and was unusable. We are talking about smart Accountants, lawyers, bankers, and business executives all had the same conclusion and opinion of Intralinks. And how does Intralinks respond? They insisted on an 'amicable resolution' which involved two choices: Pay in full, or they'll send to collections. Yep, that's how Intralinks deals with product failures on their side. Their concern is monetizing customers. Nothing more. Security, quality, customer satisfcation means nothing to Intralinks as evidenced by how they handled our experience.

Pros:

Unfortunatley, our experience with both Intralinks product and customer support were so negative we can't offer up a single 'Pro' to using Intralinks.

Cons:

What a horrible experience. The due diligence process is stressful enough -- Intralinks totally compounded this stress. We encountered bugs, clunky, and unnecessarily complicated user interface for both administrators and users.

Consolidated tool for M&A (DD) deals

Comments: Consolidated and proven tool for M&A

Pros:

Local Spanish support for any problem. Easy to use tool with innovate new applications every year

Cons:

Variable fee structure with potential huge differences between the budget and the final invoice

Very useful, but not the most friendly option

Comments: In general, I do recommend Intralinks to keep a virtual database when dealing with different counterparties in a transaction. However, other options in the market proved to be more user friendly.

Pros:

Intralinks has all the tools needed in order to keep a trustworthy virtual dataroom. During the usage of the software with countless counterparties in various transactions, Intralinks proved to offer the necessary tools as well as proved to not have technical problems, issues or undeveloped necessary tools. In other words, Intralinks is definetly a powerful option to keep a virtual dataroom when dealing with diferente counterparties.

Cons:

Intralinks is definetly not the most friendly option in the market. Although the software is suffice to its purpose, sometimes some users from other counterparties showed some difficulties when dealing with the platform. This was not a serious issue and every counterparty was able to deal with it, but some users had some troubles.

Poor user interface

Comments: Quite negative, it was my first time using it and I would probably steer clients towards ansarada instead

Pros:

Lower end in terms of cost relative to other providers including ansarada. Service and support team are helpful and good natured

Cons:

Often issues which slow down my use of the data room, eg. everytime I logon, I'm required to click disable Flash and even with following the instructions, my chrome browser does not easily remove the prompt, whereas no other data room I've used has required flash to be enabled. Other issues include Q&A - not being able to assign questions with comments and downloading an index (text did not come out for file names) which was ridiculous

Intralinks VDR review

Comments: Intralinks is my favourite VDR for sell-side projects, mainly due to the ease to manage Q&A and users, which are normally the most demanding tasks in VDR management

Pros:

The Intralink's customer support is great, and it helps to get quickly familiar with interface. Also there is a lot of flexibility in terms of profiles & privileges

Cons:

The software his a bit strict in terms of managing folders and the automatic numbering does not work properly some times

One of the best VDR in the market

Comments: The software is very useful for documentation gathering and sharing. It has as well some reporting features that helps you understanding the users activity.
It is a good value for money software

Pros:

The intralinks VDR is very intuitive, easy and user friendly

Cons:

You may move folders unintentionally and you wouldn't notice since it doesn't ask for changes confirmation

Solid vdr provider

Comments: Overall I enjoy using intralinks, as a user I have not met any problems with the platform

Pros:

Ease of use and simple intrrface and helpful staff

Cons:

Sometimes software lags but this is sporadic

Promising VDR, lacks some adjustments

Comments: It is a safe platform that helps business to exchange information. My experience with the platform is in satisfactory levels, but it could improve if some features such as the application a mentioned in the previous message would be included.

Pros:

The reports that we are able to download with the documents ID, upload date and time are very practical and really help us to maintain a good control of new items.

Cons:

The platform lacks a downloadable application in order to facilitate its usage. When comparing with the iDeals platform, that feature is crutial on my preference towards iDeals.

Great VDR tool for every deal size

Comments: preparation and management of virtual data rooms for m&a deals

Pros:

AI based redacting, intuitive Q&A tool, flexible pricing

Cons:

could be more intuitive at all, lower level of complexity for smaller deals could be helpful

Well-known, good user interface

Comments: Overall positive, I will likely continue to use it.

Pros:

Clients know the software and it is easy to use for counterparties.

Cons:

Tedious to organize and move files, and the download feature is incredible clunky and unreliable.

Incredible software, a must-have for due diligence work

Comments: Overall, Intralinks Data Room has allowed world-class communication with partners and investors for our projects and has made both parties' lives much easier in the due diligence process.

Pros:

The ability to share data with partners is definitely this software's biggest positive, everything can be organized very well and accessed easily. The fact that it is intuitive and easy to use is a big plus as well.

Cons:

Although not really the fault of Intralinks, sometimes large projects can find itself having a tremendously messy dataroom with duplicate files and a lack of organization if it isn't set up correctly. Sometimes, setting it up in the first place can be challenging.

Review

Comments: A very good experience. I would recommend the software in event a full and complicated due diligence is required.

Pros:

The software includes various features that allow a complete and full control over the dataroom including a features to limit access, printing and downloading of documents from the dataroom.

Cons:

As the software includes a lot of features and options it takes time to learn how to control and manage the software, hence it is not a user friendly software.
