We have been using iDeals for many years. It allows us to share large documents in an orderly way with a large investor base. The plaform is easy to use on both side and very intuitive.

My only criticism is that it seems you cannot add details to users (e.g. the name of their instutition) like was possible in the past. This can make filtering difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used iDeals VDR for a high-profile engagement that involved multiple organizations and required a clear audit trail on all documents shared, changed and viewed by employees from all involved organizations.

In addition to being one of the best availables VDR options, it's price is also extremely competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideals Virtual Data Room?

The virtual data room setup process is easy. Creating, deleting, or managing data rooms as well as the users and permissions of those data rooms is very intuitive and natural. The customer support for iDeals is also second to none in my experience. I don't know how big of a company they are, but their pricing is incredibly fair and I am treated as if I were one of their large clients (even though I'm sure we are not). Responsiveness is top notch. We use the VDR for all our externally shared deals and opportunities and have yet to receive complaints about the product from our partners. Implementing and integrating iDeals is becoming easier with the functionality upgrades they are regularly adding. Would highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideals Virtual Data Room?

There have been occasions where a very niche or specific request of ours is not yet functional. I will say that this is more unique than it is common. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideals Virtual Data Room solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing data and documents safely, in a format that is easily accessible, is a weekly need in our business. As we investigate M&A opportunities, it's essential for us to use this service to share key information with our respective partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideals Virtual Data Room?

The data room has all the functionality we needed and much more. I have always received a great service from my account manager and support team. All of the parties we share data with on a monthly basis and providers who have managed processes on our behalf have never had any issues with access or functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideals Virtual Data Room?

Nothing comes to mind, we could probably look at scheduled reporting of usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideals Virtual Data Room solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to share large volumes of sensitive data with several parties and have control over what is accessed and by who. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideals Virtual Data Room?

Es una plataforma fácil de entender y de manejar, con adecuados niveles de protección y acceso. La creación y gestión de carpetas es rápida y fácilmente movible / manejable.

Buenos informes para hacer seguimiento de los niveles de utilización de la plataforma.

El equipo de asistencia al cliente es rápido en la resolución de problemas y está siempre disponible. Nos solventaron de forma rápida y eficiente las dudas que tuvimos durante su utilización. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideals Virtual Data Room?

A lo largo del proyecto que estábamos realizando estaban llevando a cabo una actualización e implementación del "aspecto visual" de la plataforma para mejorar la misma, si bien no nos avisaron y nos encontramos un poco perdidos en la navegación de las carpetas e información que habíamos estado gestionando y cargando de un día para otro. No obstante, llamamos al servicio de asistencia al cliente y en menos de una hora nos resolvieron el problema volviendo al aspecto anterior (estábamos en los días finales de proyecto). Aconsejo que cuando se lleven a cabo actualizaciones y mejoras de la plataforma se avise previamente a los clientes de los potenciales cambios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideals Virtual Data Room solving and how is that benefiting you?

Necesitaba para el proyecto confiar en un proveedor de VDR de primer nivel y, tras analizar las diferentes propuestas recibidas (comparamos con 4 proveedores), nos decantamos por Ideals por lo que nos ofrecía. A lo largo del proyecto pudimos comprobar que lo ofrecido en su propuesta comercial se ajustaba a la realidad y se adecuó perfectamente a los fines buscados. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
