Why do deal teams look for a FirmRoom alternative?

FirmRoom is priced like a traditional enterprise VDR, starting around $695/month. ShareDoc starts at $39/month with the same page-by-page analytics, dynamic watermarking, and document expiration, at a fraction of the cost.

Is ShareDoc suitable for M&A and due diligence data rooms?

Yes. ShareDoc supports unlimited folders and data rooms, granular user rights management, and Q&A functionality — the core workflow deal teams rely on FirmRoom for — plus Bring Your Own Storage for teams that need to keep documents in their own infrastructure.

What does ShareDoc offer that FirmRoom does not?

Bring Your Own Storage (S3, MinIO, Ceph, or on-prem) and customer-managed encryption keys. FirmRoom hosts your data on its own infrastructure with no option to bring your own storage layer.

Can I move an active deal room from FirmRoom to ShareDoc?

Yes. Our team supports migrating folder structures, permissions, and document history from FirmRoom so an in-progress deal room can move over without disrupting active reviewers.
