When a company decides to use a virtual data room it is important to consider two primary features of the platform it requires: secure storage for documents and files and the ability to access them for team members. There are various pricing options for the VDR depending on the type of project size, industry, number of users and duration. This includes per-page pricing or per-user pricing.
Many vendors charge per gigabytes. This pricing structure is great for projects that have relatively small text files, but could be costly for businesses exchanging large audio and video files.
The price of a VDR also varies based on how much administrative access is granted to the system. Some providers allow unlimited admins which can make the system more expensive. However this feature can streamline work flows and can speed the process of due diligence.
Integration with other platforms, like Slack or Microsoft Office (for example), can improve functionality and user experience. These features are typically more expensive than those that don’t integrate.
The length of a project can often influence the cost of a data room. A vendor will usually establish a price for a certain number of months and then bill month-to-month. Some vendors, like DealRoom, will offer discounts for M&A transactions, and will also provide the option to cancel the contract after the transaction is completed. This is a good option for businesses who are not sure of the duration of a project.
