“DealRoom has been fantastic. It's the people and the partnership that has really stood out to me from DealRoom. From the time we closed to the time we're working with the whole customer success team at DealRoom, really getting the most value out of the platform. You have DealRoom’s team that's going to be holding your hand each step of the way.”
Shrey Parekh
Former Global Head of Corporate Development and Venture at Miro
“During our offboarding / migration from the platform, we got a very poor treatment. We had issues with exporting notes / data out of the system, which they were in part able to produce manually but somehow were not willing to assist us with."

“The ability of DealRoom to collaborate with us, customize the platform according to our needs, and assist in devising a complete implementation plan is what edged us to choose DealRoom.”
Jason Thomas
CEO at Raincatcher
“The analytics features can be sluggish, especially when handling large datasets or generating complex reports. This can be a bottleneck for teams that rely heavily on real-time insights. Second, while the platform is user-friendly, its customizability is somewhat limited. Organizations with highly specific workflows may find it challenging to tailor the platform to their exact needs without workarounds"

Frequently asked questions

What is Midaxo and who uses it?

Midaxo is an M&A platform founded in 2011 that covers strategy, pipeline CRM, due diligence, integration and value realization; it reports more than 500 teams and 5,000 deals supported. Its customers include corporate development teams, PE firms and advisory firms. DealRoom is also an end-to-end platform, built as the Operating System for Buyer-Led M&A™ for acquirers running several deals a year. The practical differences show up in the data room, pricing basis and AI, covered in the questions below.

Does Midaxo include a virtual data room?

Midaxo describes a data room with secure access controls and document linking as part of its platform. DealRoom includes a virtual data room inside every project room and ties it to the diligence workflow: assigning a request emails the seller, the seller drags in the file and DealRoom files it into the correct folder and marks the request complete. Folder-level permissions, in-text search, redaction and a full audit log are included, with no per-page pricing. See https://dealroom.net/product/virtual-data-room.

How does Midaxo pricing compare with DealRoom?

Midaxo publishes Starter, Professional and Enterprise tiers and says pricing scales with team size, deal volume, integrations and AI, with user-based or flat-fee annual options on its Professional tier. DealRoom prices by the number of project rooms you open: unlimited users, unlimited pipeline usage, no per-page or overage charges and a price locked for the term. AI is an add-on. For current packages see https://dealroom.net/products/pricing.

Midaxo vs DealRoom: which is better for post-merger integration?

Both Midaxo and DealRoom cover post-merger integration; Midaxo extends into what it calls value realization. DealRoom's approach is to plan integration from live diligence: integration worklists sit beside diligence worklists so the integration team joins early, findings logged in diligence become integration tasks and dependencies, a Gantt timeline and dates relative to close re-plan the whole workstream when one date moves. The Synergy Tracker reports revenue, cost and operational synergies through BI Reporting. Details at https://dealroom.net/product/integration.

How does DealRoom AI differ from Midaxo AI?

Midaxo AI, by Midaxo's description, answers questions grounded in a customer's own deal content with sources and runs in an isolated tenant. DealRoom AI is LLM agnostic, so it can choose models for speed, cost and accuracy. It goes beyond chat: summary templates extract fields across many documents at once, every value links to the page it came from and the AI says when documents do not hold the answer. Deal data can also feed your own agents in Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot over MCP.

Does DealRoom use my deal data to train its AI?

No. DealRoom does not use customer data or conversations to train models; customers retain ownership of their data under the AI feature terms at https://dealroom.net/legal/ai-feature-terms. Data sent to models is encrypted. Midaxo states a similar commitment for Midaxo AI. One DealRoom-specific control worth knowing: the AI respects room permissions, so a user can only analyze documents they are already allowed to see. Findings carry a separate permission so sensitive risk notes stay internal.

How hard is it to switch from Midaxo to DealRoom?

Switching from Midaxo to DealRoom is handled through DealRoom's onboarding: a dedicated Customer Success Manager sets up the account and a BI specialist can build your dashboards at no extra cost. Pipeline phases, custom fields and groupings are configured to match your process, your diligence checklist is loaded as a reusable request-list template and template rooms carry standard permission groups so each new deal starts ready. Sellers and advisors receive a link and need no training.
