“The interface, access controls are all very intuitive. I am able to see granular level data on document access and review. It helps provides information for insights into how a diligence process is operating. The integration with Gmail is also very useful to regularly send secure emails without leaving the gmail interface.”

Their product is feature rich, they respond to customer feedback, and their support team is on top of things always open to creative solutions to unique problems.”
