The first thing to look for in a virtual data space is whether it can be tailored to your company’s specific workflow. Many providers provide highly flexible interfaces that allow you to integrate with your company’s IT systems and business processes. They also provide features like high levels of permissions and watermarks that discourage document leakage.
A second aspect to consider is the type of documents which you’ll be using the VDR for. If you’re preparing for an M&A and you’ll have numerous documents pertaining to due diligence, like research results, patents, etc. These documents should be secured at a higher level and are vulnerable to unauthorized copies and downloads. The best VDRs allow you to control access down to the level of individual folders.
If you intend to make use of the VDR to share sensitive information with other organizations it is worth checking whether the vendor is able to support electronic signing. This will save you time and money by removing the requirement for physical signatures.
In the end, it’s worthwhile to look at the limitations on file size, storage and type of files that the virtual data room provides and its capacity overall. You don’t wish to be surprised by sudden limitations on the size of the files you can upload or download.
