A virtual dataroom (VDR) serves as an electronic repository for critical and sensitive information. It’s used to secure due diligence during transactions for companies and provides a convenient platform for sharing documents with a variety of stakeholders.

The most commonly used use of VDRs is during M&A transactions, in which private documents are exchanged between the two sides of a deal. Financial records, tax documents, contracts, confidential information, and intellectual property are all part of the deal. These records must be accessible and easy to access, but secure from the prying eyes of others.

When choosing a VDR make sure you choose one with robust security features, like user-level access rights, multifactor authentication, access expiration, revocation, and mobile device management. It should also have the ability to track documents and provide an audit trail. Make sure that the provider is accessible during normal business hours to address any questions or concerns.

It is also important to take into consideration how it’s easy to upload and download large files sizes. Some vendors provide a drag-and drop feature that speeds up the process and is useful for larger projects. Also, look into how easy it is to see activity reports that can help a user keep up-to-date with the activity of their documents.

A top-tier vendor also has a variety of tools for collaboration and communication like a Q&A, comment sections, or life-chatting. This will improve efficiency and workflow as well as increase team efficiency.
