Ansarada

Avantages

Ease of use, flexibility of functionalities, active customer support, competitive pricing

Inconvénients

When you enter a data room, it always defaults to the workflow function instead of document index

Avantages

Ansarada is an extremely easy product to use not only to manage but for lenders to understand.

Inconvénients

Whilst useful at times, I feel the analytics features could be developed further.

Avantages

Options to limit the print, save, watermark and put an expiry date to the document is helpful as we like to segregate our investors into different categories.

Inconvénients

There is no search function to find if a particular email has been invited or logged on as guests till we try to the invitation.

When loading files, a few steps needed before we can load into the selected folder. Not straight forward.

Unable to see what is the total data usage so we are not sure when we are charged for the extra data used previously.

Avantages

Intuitive design, easy to use and Q&A function is great

Inconvénients

There is nothing of note that I like least

Avantages

Functionality and ease of use are what I like most.

Inconvénients

Bulk download and bulk upload is clunky.

Avantages

Bulk uploading - easy to identify and share.

Inconvénients

Batch download can be confusing at times.

Avantages

Ansarada is an easy to use, efficient platform that meets my needs for M&A and capital raising activities

Inconvénients

Folder and file numbering can sometimes be a little clunky

Avantages

Very easy to use, customer support is great.

Inconvénients

Not too many flaws at all! Have been using this platform for three years.

Avantages

My experience with Ansarada has been awesome, I started with them when I first came into the M&A world and during that time, I have tried a couple of others (to test the market / BCP etc) but I keep coming back to Ansarada. Great pricing structure, service and support coupled with a product that is simply to use yet complex enough to handle all transaction sizes and requirements. Also, they don’t sit still, even with the best product on the market they still strive to do more, improve features, expand use …. When a company operates like that its hard to trust anyone else.

Inconvénients

Nothing I could think of. Ansarada always hits the mark

Avantages

Ease of use. Nice design. Good customer support.

Inconvénients

Audit trials do not work properly. When deleting users or documents, the corresponding audit trails get lost. This is a major flaw for a core function of a data room.

Avantages

Ansarada gets all of the basics one needs in a dataroom, and then goes one up on the following:1. The ease of numbering and arranging large amounts files and folders imported into the dataroom (the numbering function is very impressive and saves a lot of time)2. The different stakeholder management features as an administrator - the ease of allocating different levels of access and communicating with different stakeholders (client, buyside and sell side) is second to non

Inconvénients

1. The moving of large amounts of files from the IRL to the actual- and the difficulty in moving folders (as one has to select the individual files without knowing which folder they are in)2. The counter-intuitiveness of the Q&A function and various levels of uploads and approvals. I understand why its there (very critical) but would have appreciated it to have been more user friendly

Avantages

The flexibility of the product enables the ability to create a bespoke experience for clients, bidders, advisors and the likes without being burdensome.

Inconvénients

Some functions i.e., q&a create some additional steps which may be unnecessary.

Avantages

I recently signed up for one more account's storage service offered by Ansarada and I am extremely satisfied with my experience so far. The signup process was quick and easy, and I was able to start uploading my files right away.The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to upload, organize, and access my files from any device with an internet connection. I appreciate the flexibility of being able to access my files from my desktop, laptop, or mobile device, and the automatic syncing ensures that my files are always up to date.Another feature that I appreciate is the security measures that the company has in place to protect my data. With end-to-end encryption, I feel confident that my files are safe and secure, even when stored in the cloud.The pricing plans are reasonable and offer a good amount of storage space for the cost. Overall, I highly recommend Ansarada for anyone in need of reliable and secure cloud storage. Their user-friendly interface, flexible accessibility, and robust security measures make it an excellent choice for professional use.

Inconvénients

No cons for me. I recommend Ansarada for anyone in need of reliable and secure cloud storage. Their user-friendly interface, flexible accessibility, and robust security measures make it an excellent choice for professional use.

Avantages

Ansarada makes the VDR process straightforward and intuitive. Other VDRs have arduous steps that make the task of maneuvering a data room unpleasant. For example, they offer easy to use redacting that allow you to quickly redact in the Ansarada application.

Inconvénients

It would be great if there was a way to redact across files without having to open up each individual file. For example, if I am uploading 100 customer agreements, if I could choose to redact a certain name or address across all of the files, it would save a lot of redundant work.

Avantages

The general ease of use of the platform, supportive and responsive support team from the live chat support team to the sales team and back office support team, everyone is always happy to assist with any questions we may have.The ease of uploading/deleting documents, and the assurance that you won't release the wrong document to the wrong person.

Inconvénients

would be helpful if i could view as the specific person - i believe this will reduce the level of reliance on the support team on basic/setting up questions

Pourquoi passer à Ansarada

Avantages

You know the platform is secure.When you ask a question in the chat, you always get a rapid response and on the website, you can also find clear explanations about how to use the platform.

Inconvénients

I heard from colleagues who use the app that the availability of a Q&A function in the app would be handy.

Avantages

Ansarada provides a VDR experience that is intuitive, responsive and aesthetically pleasing when compared to competitors. Documents load quickly and VDR navigation is seamless. The bulk export functionality works effectively and the Q&A download process and customisation is extremely useful and user-friendly.

Inconvénients

While not a dealbreaker, it would be helpful to have a setting that allows PDFs downloaded from the VDR to be able to be used in non-Adobe viewers.

Avantages

Easy to use, very intuitive and good customer service when required.

Inconvénients

The bulk download sometimes does not work - or takes far too long to complete (even if the VDR is not that large)

Avantages

The support received from Ansarada made the experience smoother as a first time user. It also helped in solving many misc. issues along the way.

Inconvénients

The system can be a bit tough to understand as a first time user, and links directly to assistance would be great rather than having to search the databases of FAQ myself.

Avantages

Ability to securely share and control data.

Inconvénients

Administrative time. A generic security profile and email add in would be useful.

Avantages

Easy to useHighly responsive and efficient customer support

Inconvénients

Lacks keyboard shortcuts Some intuitive tools / features are missing (e.g. subteam view when allocating Q&A question, AI redaction, translation, etc.) Can be slow when refreshing pages

Avantages

Uploading information was relatively easy although I did sometimes find it difficult to save it in the desired location

Inconvénients

I didn't find the software intuitive. I had real difficulty in navigating around and most often found myself having to return to the home screen and then scroll again through all the questions to find the one i wanted to work on. Often the questioner wanted to change the priority after posting the question & I had trouble matching these.
I couldn't get my file structure to work so I always had to navigate from the home base rather than where I had just been
I presume a lot of the issues emanated from me being a novice user however I did find it very easy to navigate around the seller's Datasite

Avantages

The user interface and customer support is incredible. Setting up, administering and using an Ansarada VDR is painless and if you do get stuck, amazing customer support is just a click away.

Inconvénients

The VDR sometimes works better with certain web browsers, so users on different browsers with different company IT policies struggle with some of the VDR capabilities, for example downloading files, access rights to files etc.
