Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room vs. SS&C Intralinks DealCentre

Datasite is well suited for organizing large quantities of a variety of documents into folders. It is not as well suited for Xcel, which generally requires downloading in order to review, but there are quick preview options for Word and PDF items.

Intralinks is well suited if the user wants to do essential file management on the cloud.

• Quick preview of document content is something I love! It lets me decide whether the file is relevant to our purposes or not instantly.
• Navigating through the folders is also very easy, and the website is also responsive without any lag/stutter.
• Although I don't use the feature due to confidentiality reasons, quick translate option is a really great addition to the tool.
• Many datarooms can only show excel documents as PDFs for a quick preview. I like the way Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room has Excel online handler to view the file. This is so helpful!

• Ability to follow-up to closed Q&A answers without creating new question (i.e. seller marked Q&A as closed when it doesn't address your request)

• Ability to download PDF files from mobile app

Incentivized

• Drag/Drop of documents directly from emails (this seems to be common among data room type software)

It is my go to data room provider and I am super comfortable using it. I don't think I would want to use anything else since I can't trust them like I can trust Datasite

Tough to figure out at first but after using the platform for some time, you can get used to Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room pretty quickly.

I think Intralinks is the closest competitor. Relative to the rest of the providers (outside of Intralinks), Datasite Diligence Virtual Data Room is easier to use and more reliable.

Intralinks is more robust and has a more professional user interface. I use both products but I would default to intralinks if it was an important project involving outside resources or partners. Box I feel is perfectly suitable for internal projects that involve department members or multiple company departments

There is a bulk download, and it appears there is a bulk upload which makes it easier to get multiple files onto the platform when needed.
