Tl;dr
Many third-party “Digify reviews” are outdated or inaccurate. In reality, Digify offers affordable pricing, robust security, advanced analytics, seamless integrations, and responsive support. Get the facts straight from the source, not competitor-owned review sites.
We’ve noticed a few curious claims about Digify floating around on some review sites (read: competitor-owned sites). Some are accurate, some are a little dated, and some… let’s just say they’d make for good fiction reading. Since decisions about virtual data rooms, document security, fundraising, due diligence and digital rights management deserve facts, not folklore, we thought we’d clear things up.
The Pricing Puzzle
We’ve seen some creative interpretations of our pricing structure. Here’s what some review sites are claiming about Digify’s pricing:
- $1,650 per month for up to 10GB storage
- $1,000 monthly for our Business plan
- Various other wallet-busting figures that seem plucked from thin air
Here’s the actual reality: Our Pro plan starts at an incredibly affordable $130 per month, giving you three data rooms and access for up to 50 guests. It also comes with 100GB of storage included – one of the most generous allocations on the market. Most of our customers never have to worry about hitting limits or constantly monitoring usage. By comparison, some competitors make customers track every gigabyte, which can quickly become a hidden cost.
On top of that, our pricing is designed to be flexible and partially customizable, so whether you’re running a small fundraising round or a large scale due diligence project, you can scale up or down to match the size and scope of your deal.
Our pricing is so customer-friendly, it’s one of the reasons they recommend us to others.
„Ich würde Digify aufgrund des Preises, der Funktionalität und der Benutzerfreundlichkeit auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.“
The Missing Features That Aren't Actually Missing
The sites have helpfully compiled lists of features we supposedly lack. According to these digital detectives, we apparently don’t offer:
Free demos or trials: This one made us chuckle, considering our 7-day free trial is a very prominent button on our website’s homepage!
Document version control: We know fundraising and due diligence are no quick tasks. So we aim to make the data room experience as seamless as possible for our customers, and this includes offering the ability to replace files.
"We prefer using Digify because we're able to control the access, see exactly who's viewing, who's able to download, and also get a detailed breakdown of the statistics."
Advanced analytics: Several sites claim we don’t have tracking capabilities.
Since our entire business model hinges on this, it would be rather strange not to have these features. In fact, not only do we offer real-time document tracking, we can even break down insights at the page level, so you know which sections recipients spent time on, and which ones they skimmed over or ignored completely. Our customers love this about us.
"It's really valuable to know exactly which potential investor is spending time reviewing our documents and thus know whom to focus on."
The Security Concerns that Miss the Mark
Some reviews suggest we lack proper security features or that recipients can “still access data easily” despite admin controls; as if ease of access and security are mutually exclusive. That misses the point of a modern VDR. The aim isn’t to lock documents so tightly that your own team can’t open them; it’s to combine strong protections with smooth, sensible workflows.
On controls: Digify lets you set the rules at any level: room, file, or individual recipient. View-only? No print? No download? Dynamic watermarks? Time-limited access? The ability to pull back access even after you’ve shared? All there. We thought about it at the granular level, and then decided to name the list of features exactly that.
We’ve also recently launched our Persistent Protection After Download (or as we like to call it, PPAD) feature, which allows you to have total control of your files even after they’ve been downloaded.
All this because, in fundraising and diligence, “can view” and “can download” are not the same thing, and that distinction keeps sensitive files out of inboxes and off stray desktops.
On security standards: We lock your files with AES-256 (aka the “don’t-even-try-it” cipher), wrap every session in modern TLS with 2,048-bit keys, and are ISO 207001 certified, ready for auditors, investors, or that one very curious lawyer. None of this is a fancy add-on; it’s table stakes for good security.
On sign-in sanity: Yes, we support SSO (available on Business plans and above), and setup is straightforward for admins. Fewer passwords, lower risk, fewer headaches when the audit rolls around.
On working anywhere: Okay, we’ll give you this one. We do not have an iOS or Android app anymore, but that’s because Digify runs beautifully in your mobile browser; no plug-ins, no downloads, no “install this first.” Open the link, set the rules, get on with your day. Whether you’re on the train, in a taxi, or power-walking to a gate, everything just works.
“If I thought, ‘Did I miss a folder or file?’ or if I wanted to look up something, I can do that very quickly on my phone, and it works very well.”
The bigger picture: Security with Digify isn’t a buzzword tally; it’s confidence. Your documents stay protected, access stays precise, you maintain control, and the people who need to work can simply… work.
Wir nutzen Digify, um sensible Dokumente im Rahmen von Due Diligence-Prozessen und Sicherheitsüberprüfungen sicher zu versenden. Wir behalten unsere vertraulichen Dokumente gerne für uns. Mit Digify haben wir immer die Kontrolle darüber, wer Zugriff hat und wer nicht.
The Support Stories That Don't Match Reality
Perhaps most puzzling are the claims about our alleged lack of customer support. One review suggested that “priority is always given to Enterprise clients across all channels,” implying smaller customers get left out in the cold.
This doesn’t square with feedback from customers across all our plan levels:
"The support and account management team at Digify is incredibly helpful... They proactively reach out to see if I have any questions or concerns."
"They respond to customer feedback, and their support team is on top of things... always open to creative solutions to unique problems."
We wanted to break the monotony of our (many) testimonials on this topic, so here, we simply created a visual instead.
The Integration Reality Check
Some sites claim we don’t offer proper integrations or API access. The reality is that Digify’s integrations and API are among our greatest strengths. Our customers use Digify effortlessly with their existing workflows, automating due diligence or embedding secure data rooms via our robust API.
With full access to document security and data room functionalities, developers can quickly create rooms, manage users, track activity, and generate secure Pre-auth URLs using simple Basic Auth – no heavy SDKs required.
Here’s what our customers actually experience with our integrations:
"Digify is a simple yet secure tool that provided the necessary integration with the infrastructure we already use. This made picking and using Digify for our internal teams an obvious decision."
Our Gmail integration alone has saved countless hours. With it, file security happens where you already work. Attach encrypted, trackable documents, set view, download and print rules, add expiry, then send using smart links. You’ll be able to see who looked at your documents and how many times. You can even pull access back at any moment using ‘Track & Unsend Anytime’.
"It's a lot easier to secure documents with this extension. A real time saver."
The Bottom Line
We’re not saying every review site is deliberately spreading misinformation. Research is hard, features evolve, and keeping up with every platform’s capabilities is a full-time job. But when potential customers are making decisions about the best VDRs on the market based on outdated or incorrect information, everyone loses.
This makes us think some of our features could help those out there publishing this information, so they could keep track of what’s changing. This way:
“(Recipients) can’t say that they didn’t receive something when it's all there. You get a great audit trail and an understanding of who is doing what with your documents.”
The same principle applies to reviews – the trail of evidence should lead to accurate conclusions.
If you’ve been relying on third-party sites for Digify reviews in order to make a decision about which VDR subscription to purchase, we’d suggest doing what savvy investors do: try us out yourself.
“Once we saw how easy it was, Digify became the obvious choice. It’s also nice that the company is consistently growing and pushing out new features that users want. I’m very likely to recommend Digify to my friends and investors.”
After all, we offer that 7-day free trial that apparently doesn’t exist. Start yours today.
