FORDATA VDR

Avantages

Very good quality at a great price. I recall customer support very fondly. I was with an investment bank that had a number fo unique requests and they were all dealt with.

Inconvénients

Several years back, when I was last using Fordata's software, it still had no convenient mobile option. Also, it ran kind of sluggish on some browsers. It was not a dealbreaker, but I would like to see this fixed (maybe it already has been).

Avantages

In my opinion, using a VDR can have many positive benefits.Firstly, it is highly secure and provide encryption and authentication features, making them an ideal solution for organizations looking to protect sensitive data. This provides peace of mind to both the company and its stakeholders, knowing that their information is in safe hands.Secondly, VDR can save significant amounts of time and resources compared to traditional methods of data sharing, such as physical document rooms or email. VDRs allow authorized users to access and collaborate on documents from anywhere, at any time, and from any device, increasing efficiency and productivity.Thirdly, VDRs provide transparency and control to the data owner, allowing them to track who has accessed the data, when it was accessed, and what actions were taken. This helps to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive information, ensuring that the data remains confidential.Overall, in my opinion, using a VDR can have many positive benefits, including enhanced security, efficiency, and control over sensitive data. As such, I believe that VDRs are an essential tool for organizations that need to securely manage and share confidential information.

Inconvénients

Nothing comes to my mind in terms of cons of the service

Avantages

Fordata VDR is intuitive and easy to navigate. It has all crucial functions - storage of data in an orderly way and Q&A function enabling attachment of files.

Exporting index of files and index of Q&A also helps to monitor incoming answers and new files.

Inconvénients

On my last project I noticed that the status of questions was quite misleading - I couldn't find which questions are answered and which not.

Avantages

Facilitates secure and easy means of obtaining and procuring data between the private side and public side. The ability of access reviews to the data room etc is helpful.

Inconvénients

The ability to run reports and MI could be enhanced. I need to learn how to create sib folders within a data room.

Avantages

Ease of use; has all of the features expected from similar products; can set-up delegates easily; ability to customize updates and notifications; reliability

Inconvénients

Still small feature gap to biggest VDR providers.

Avantages

Easy to use, good price, transparent interface

Inconvénients

The fact that you need to run it under explorer - whenever I want to use Chrome it does not work.

Avantages

Easy access to shared materials by the client. Very useful "sort" tools

Inconvénients

Speed of downloading files was very low. It always took me a lot of time to download files

Avantages

One of the easier, better looking VDRs I was working with.
I liked that it seemed to work well on Edge and Chrome; ease of navigation, selection and downloading items. It never crashed as well.

Inconvénients

Cant think of anything in particular.
One of the things which are hard in other VDRs is how hard it is to navigate and how slowly they load documents or the preview - this was NOT an issue here.

Avantages

The option for seeing what new documents were uploaded since my last login.

Inconvénients

There is no option for adding comments to the respective files.

Avantages

Worked well, did not have any complaints

Inconvénients

Perhaps the ease of navigation (i.e. finding things) could be improved somewhat but in general was not much of an issue.
