Workspaces are secure platforms to securely share information, manage M&A transactions, raise capital, conduct due diligence, and oversee other complex deals. Furthermore, these processes are manageable and accessible from desktop or mobile devices.

CapLinked VDR also provides integrated instant messaging, Q&A assignments (or Subject Matter Experts), FAQ notifications, and data room users’ activity feed.

CapLinked data rooms offer integration with Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Salesforce.

Document management features include uploading options, such as quick bulk upload and Safelink, the powerful desktop uploader by CapLinked. Also, there is a Microsoft Office document management solution to edit directly from your Workspace. Another feature is viewing various types of files (PDFs, MS Office, images, and videos) directly from your browser without plugins or downloads. Any confidential document changes can be followed up in Version Control.

We used Caplinked data room to raise funds, and it worked perfectly well. We could customize the interface, which made us look more professional in front of investors. Also, we could see what other users are doing in the data room. Ultimately, we reached our goals.

A very unprofessional company that is undergoing a re-organization of how they run things. They have broken (and continually try to break) the contract we signed with them to find ways to charge us more than what they agreed to by contract. Unless you want a headache, try look elsewhere.

The best thing about Caplinked data room is that users can send each other instant messages. It really helps to improve the teamwork and makes processes go faster. Now all the matters are discussed in one place, and we don’t need to gather facts around different messengers.

Compared to other providers, Caplinked data room is a good fit for its money. I especially like that the system sends notifications about updates via email. Overall, the software is easy to use. However, I don’t like that you need the support team to delete the workspace.

Caplinked data room is visually appealing and quite easy to use. I like that I can have full control over the documents and the data room. However, you can’t delete the workspace by yourself. Also, the system doesn’t alert you if you’re running out of space.

We absolutely enjoy Caplinked data room using it for internal data management. It is very intuitive and pleasantly-looking. We even could customize the interface. It is very simple to upload the files and work with them. It’s a good service, especially for its price.

I’ve switched to Caplinked data room from another provider, and this one is way better. It offers all the necessary features for the management of documents without overloading the interface. Although some areas are still under development, it’s good that you can request your proposals to the dev team.
