Here's What This Means for You

  • Modern, actively developed platform. DealRoom is designed specifically for deal teams and built for the way teams work today. New features are regularly added as part of our proactive approach to platform development. Devensoft organizes your deals for you, but its platform evolves more slowly and relies more on outdated traditional workflows.
  • All-in-one capabilities. DealRoom features an integrated VDR, connected diligence, AI-powered workflows, and automation all in one platform. Devensoft has foundational M&A tools, but may require additional software to connect data and workflows. 
  • AI-powered diligence and pipeline management. DealRoom’s AI accelerates document reviews, organizes data, extracts details, and powers pipeline management by surfacing valuable insights and next steps. Devensoft makes no public mention of similar AI functionalities.
  • Built-in target intelligence and enrichment. DealRoom helps teams see more of the pipeline with built-in sourcing data and enrichment features that allow users to learn about targets faster and keep opportunity information current without manual searches.
  • Streamlined experience. DealRoom was designed with user experience in mind. An intuitive interface, mobile access, and automation like bulk-updates allow teams to minimize back and forth and keep deals moving. Devensoft has automation through checklists but involves more manual work and clicking through screens to complete tasks..
  • Controlled collaboration. DealRoom’s robust permissions and integrated data room allow teams to collaborate without exposing confidential information. Devensoft’s permissions are role-based, which creates groups but doesn’t allow for as much detail and control.
  • Better data analysis. DealRoom offers Looker for advanced BI reporting and has a team dedicated to BI development to help clients build and automate reports. Devensoft has basic dashboarding and data exports, but lacks advanced analytics capabilities.
  • Help every step of the way. DealRoom offers every customer a Personal Success Manager who acts as a main point of contact for onboarding and provides continuous support, in addition to tutorial videos and a comprehensive resource library. Devensoft maintains a support portal and customers can contact support via email.

What Real Users Say

Don’t just take our word for it. See how deal teams, advisors, and corporate development professionals rate their experience across platforms.

"With only two people in corporate development, two transaction leads, we would not be able to handle the workflow we have today if we weren't utilizing DealRoom."
Jim Ackerman
Vice President, Corporate Development at Flex
“Integration with data room services could be better. Right now, we typically have to navigate the various data room providers for the diligence process, then either manually input information through Devensoft or a Sharepoint application to do our own analysis, etc. Ideally, one could have seamless integration between the two sets of systems (since they are offering two distinct services) and further simplify workflow.“

"I feel like my house is in order. I know exactly what I need to do. Here's the data, here are all the files, I can get to it when I want. It's a mindset thing. Much more positive and excited to dig in and work on deals and contribute. It removes the barrier of entryand dreading going into a drive to find stuff."
Mike Palumbo
Director of Corporate Development at HALO Branded Solutions
"The main concern is that it's not the easiest to use - once you understand the order of operations it's seamless, but it's not intuitive. That said, the development staff is very responsive and acts quickly to update/upgrade the platform based upon user experience. So far, they've greatly enhanced its functionality in response to our guidance."

"I can't emphasize enough the stream of consciousness related to diligence. That's where I would tell you is the single most valuable element of the platform."
Harrison Thomas
Chief Growth Officer at Beacon Specialized Living Services
"Too complex in some cases (e.g. make changes to tasks). Workbooks a bit dissapointing."
