iDeals VDR is an enterprise virtual data room used for M&A due diligence, fundraising, and other deal processes where companies need to share sensitive documents with outside parties under tight access control. It's a closed, proprietary platform, and pricing is typically quoted per deal and can run into thousands of dollars a month for larger transactions.
Papermark is an open-source data room you can self-host if you want the same core document-sharing and access-control functionality without the enterprise deal pricing.
