Check out our full iDeals VDR overview to see what you can get from the solution to improve your team’s performance.

Document security features 

Document security is one of the iDeals virtual data room’s strongest points. With biometric entry authentication systems, only authorized personnel can access the servers where the sensitive data is stored. You also get to control what level of permission each individual or company has for every document.

In addition, you can protect your documents with dynamic watermarks. Other notable security features include remote shred, fence view, secure spreadsheet view, and redaction.

The company’s data centers are highly secured with extensive surveillance and security personnel. What’s more, iDeals is compliant with the following security standards:

  • ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Certified Data Centers
  • SOC2
  • GDPR
  • HIPAA 

Not to mention, the company’s virtual data room security integrity is frequently audited by external auditors.

User management features

iDeals makes it possible to manage users at different levels, no matter how many people are involved in the project. Specifically, you can invite users one by one or in bulk, set sign-in security options, data room access level, and access to the Q&A section for each individual or group.

Speaking in more detail about user groups, admins have four pre-defined roles by which they can divide participants — Individual Users, Collaboration Users, Restricted Administrators, and Full Administrators. Thus, each listed group has specific permissions to access data and functions.

Last but not least, admins can manage virtual data rooms and user permissions at any time, even on a mobile device on the go.

Collaboration and document management features

iDeals’ virtual data room software integrates a handful of collaboration and document management features that speed up the flow of your M&A deals and due diligence processes.

Thanks to the drag and drop system, users can easily upload data to the system and control permissions with no IT knowledge.

There are no limitations on the number of documents, and you may choose to upload bulk amounts of documents with a single click of a button. You also don’t need to adjust the documents’ formatting since they’re automatically converted to PDF when uploaded. Further, all of the documents are automatically organized for easy access and secure viewing.

The data rooms also integrate live discussion forums and FAQ sections, making it easier for users to collaborate. When a user asks a question, they can specify the domain the question is related to (finance, legal, etc.), ensuring that they get help from a subject-matter expert.

Finding the documents you need is very straightforward, thanks to the VDR’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system. To locate a specific document, all you have to do is input its name into the search box.

Customer support

iDeals provides multiple 24/7 customer support channels for its customers, including fast-response in-app live chat and email support. In addition, the website integrates an online Help Center that encompasses the full support documentation and video tutorials, as well as a FAQs section.

You don’t need to have any prior IT experience to be able to communicate with the company’s customer support team. However, keep in mind that the extent of support and virtual data room training you get varies according to your selected plan.

On top of that, the iDeals virtual data room offers customer support in 12 languages, which include English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and some others.

In fact, users speak highly of iDeals’ responsive and helpful technical support in almost every iDeals virtual data room review.

Additional features

iDeals virtual data room flaunts a user-friendly interface that doesn’t differ much from the email interface most users are acquainted with. The learning curve is pretty much non-existent, even for users with no IT expertise.

The interface offers email-like options that include carbon and blind copy and forward. Moreover, users are allowed to attach links to files in the data room in the messages portal.

You can customize the virtual data room’s interface by adding your company’s logo, adjusting the header and footer, and defining the terms of access. Plus, you may change the language settings and enable automatic translation for up to 90 languages.

Finally, all of the business-critical features designed by the iDeals team are available on mobile devices.

Pricing plans

iDeals provides its virtual data room solutions in three plans: Pro, Business, and Enterprise. The virtual data room packages primarily differ in storage capacity and the number of projects and administrators. 

  • The Pro plan is the basic package that includes one project, 5 administrators, and up to 10GB of storage, making it suitable for small and medium-sized projects. With this plan, you get standard Q&A management, custom NDA and terms of access, dynamic watermarks, and two USB drives with data room archives.
  • As for the Business plan, you have all the benefits of the Pro plan, but you also get to work on unlimited projects and assign unlimited administrators to access and edit the virtual data room. The storage capacity is also upgraded to 250GB. In addition, the package includes advanced Q&A, document labels, extended customer support, and other features. This plan works best for medium or large-sized projects.
  • The Enterprise plan gives you everything in the business plan, along with a dedicated project team, custom data retention policy, and delayed billing (until the project goes live). The maximum storage capacity is also boosted to 1TB. The Enterprise plan is a great all-around package for massive projects.

The company doesn’t provide pricing details. To get a quote for your selected plan, you need to contact the sales team. It’s also worth noting that all plans come with a 30-day free trial.

I have used two data room platforms previously, but this one has been the best. The first thing I like about Ideals is that it's more cost-effective than other data rooms. Secondly, iDeals has a really user-friendly interface. You can upload and delete files easily, and customize your Q&A section and the VDR in general. Our clients are happy with the way the information is presented. The third important pro is an easy setup and onboarding, the data room works swiftly and with no bugs. I can totally recommend iDeals data room to speed up the deal process.

iDeals is the perfect provider for my law firm. It keeps all the confidential data safe and gives us all the functions we need to maintain communication with clients. We’re using iDeals VDR for a couple of years, and we’ve never had issues with it. However, I wanted to ask the support team some question several times, and they responded very quickly.

As a pharmaceuticals firm, we need to pay extra attention to the protection of our information. iDeals is compliant with all the regulations we need to follow, and they offer impeccable security, protecting the repository and giving us additional tools to safeguard specific files. With this data room, I can be sure only authorized partners can access our information.

I enjoy using the Ideals data room. Unlike some providers we used before, it has a simple interface, and we started working before they made us a demo. Previously I read that some users had difficulty uploading large files, but for us, everything worked fine. So now we have a stable data room that is easy to use for partners and us, and I'm delighted with it.

I’ve switched my company to the iDeals virtual data room just recently, but I already feel like it was one of my best decisions. It is very convenient and filled with all the features my company needs to maintain the paperwork. And the interface is so simple that even my partners who weren’t ready at all to use new software adapted to it in no time.

I would say we've been a very satisfied customer. I definitely like the sidebar on the left, where we are able to jump easily between all the rooms we have. Actively there are 8-9 deals going at once. It's great when the core team can switch between those projects with ease.

I was looking for the simplest solution that will let my staff work with documents. I chose iDeals VDR, and I never regret this decision. It is so easy to use that no one ever had any issues understanding the interface, even newcomers. Now we have all the needed features to let our potential partners perform due diligence and simply maintain the papers internally.

We were using another provider for a while, and it was ok. But when I saw what iDeals offers, I was amazed by the number of features. So I’ve decided to give it a try, and I have to say, they make a pretty good job.

I liked the fact that iDeals was easy to use and can be tailored for each case. Activity tracking for each page was the best function for me, and the ability to change the contrast of the watermarks is also a great function I did not see in the previous data room we used for the deals.

We use iDeals data room to share documents for review by our partners. That is super easy and much more secure than sending them by e-mail. Setting up the data room took 15 minutes. I really liked the "updated version" function that allows a new version of a file to replace the old one, as well as notifications and reporting. The price is affordable, so my experience with this software is totally positive.

We just started a free trial of Ideals and must say we really like this data room. Previously we tried another VDR but the customer support was awful. Here you get an answer immediately and that's something that makes us rely on Ideals. They also have German-speaking people. For sure I can recommend them as one of the best data room solutions.

To be honest, we chose iDeals VDR because our partners use this provider. And now I understand why they are so satisfied with it. I was afraid we would have to go through some training to learn how to use it. But the interface is so straightforward that we could tap into all those numerous features right away.

iDeals was great on the paper, and it’s even better in reality. We’re using iDeals virtual data room to exchange files with our partners, and we do that a lot as a life science company. The reason we chose this provider was that it offered the highest level of security. But as we began using it, we were delighted with the simple interface that offered all the features we need.

We are using iDeals virtual data room for over a year in my company, and we’re absolutely satisfied with the service. The interface is very straightforward, which is especially important for us - we often invite interns to work with us. They can understand how to use the data room without any explanations. And also now we have all the features for productive teamwork.

As a real estate company, our whole workflow consists of deals. So we definitely needed a provider that can offer round-the-clock support. We’re using iDeals virtual data room only for a couple of months, but I can already say that we’re going to stick to it. It has a lot of necessary features that help us close deals successfully.

Trying to find the best solution we’ve switched between several providers, and we can tell from our experience that iDeals VDR is the best. It is packed with functions, but the interface is so well-organized that we never struggle to find the feature we need at the moment. Also, it is quite appealing that the support team is available 24/7. Although we never needed any help yet.

iDeals is an amazing and very intuitive data room. The features that are offered surpass the other data rooms we have used. The cost is very appealing and affordable. The support staff is readily available whenever I had a question. I am very happy with the switch to iDeals. Our clients also note that since we moved to iDeals VDR, the difference is great. It is much easier to work with the documents index, Q&A function, scroll through PDF documents, and other useful features.

Our company previously worked with another VDR, and had several complaints regarding the system speed, complicated interface, and errors. We`ve started to cooperate with iDeals, and there is truly nothing more to desire. It is safe and easy and convenient. I wish we had chosen this provider earlier. I recommend iDeals to businesses who value the simplicity and functionality.
