One time for a company sale and two times for investor management. ----- ### "Great user experice, no issues" — 5.0/5 > **Theophile** | *20 November 2025* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ergonomy and user experience is great i've been using iDeals for years now, with different companies > > **Cons**: I it stil la pricey solution especially if you need to run a project on a longer period (eg fundraising) > > I never had issues with iDeals, no investor complained I was using iDeals vs another vendor (it is always a risk if you take a less known name) Great user interface, easy to upload files, modify, control what you share ----- ### "It was good while it lasted" — 2.0/5 > **Tara** | *20 November 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The organization of documents, rooms and permissions for due diligence processes made it easy for even those who aren't quite tech savvy. Our contact was helpful when/if we reached out. > > **Cons**: When downloading files the downloaded file included the location number in the beginning of the document title, this was burdensome when needing to duplicate a room. I would have to download the entire room, rename each document and then go through the process of creating a whole new data room. It would have been much easier to be able to simply copy a data room as it was set. Some of the documents had too long file paths when downloading which would create 0MB files, not helpful. > > We were pleased with the platform until they did an "upgrade" which subsequently increased the price. The items they included in the upgrade were not items we would be utilizing but would have to ultimately pay for. ----- ### "Solid VDR for M\&A but pricy" — 4.0/5 > **Sandeep** | *5 December 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: File upload performance was excellent, even with large document sets. Keyboard shortcuts made navigation efficient once you learned them. Customer support was responsive and helpful throughout our year-long M\&A process. > > **Cons**: Major workflow issue: you can't jump directly from the access log to the actual file that was viewed, which slowed down tracking buyer activity. Pricing felt high for our needs, especially the pricing structure for smaller data amounts > > Used iDeals as our sell-side dataroom for a 1-year M\&A process. Overall solid platform that handled the core requirements well. File management and security features worked as expected. The upload experience and keyboard shortcuts were genuinely helpful for daily work. Customer support was a bright spot - always responsive when we needed help. However, the inability to click through from logs to files was a consistent frustration when tracking due diligence activity. The pricing structure also felt inflated, particularly for smaller deployments. Good product, but the value proposition could be stronger. ----- ### "VDR usage and comfortability" — 5.0/5 > **Krishna** | *21 November 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: quick response to queries Usage is easy access controls are comfortable Email notifications where opted are regular > > **Cons**: little bit higher on cost. Need to reduce a bit No other issues on Virtual Data Room to be mentioned > > using for last 2 yrs. comfortable with usage and access controls Storage capacity as per requirement ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/398683/ideals?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/398683/ideals) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
