Datasite Acquire review
A buy-side diligence workspace combining deal tracking, Q&A, permissions and AI tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
For buy-side acquisition due diligence, Datasite Acquire gives corporate development teams, private equity firms, investment banks and M&A advisors a shared deal workspace. Teams can create a deal space, invite sellers, manage diligence checklists and monitor progress through dashboards and near-real-time analytics. Its scope centers on transaction work: trackers, Q&A, permissions, findings and document controls sit alongside mobile access for deal review and management. The fit is strongest for mid-market and enterprise deal teams that want diligence activity organized in one room rather than a general-purpose file repository.
The product’s workflow depth is a notable strength. Checklists can use row-level permissions, while user and group controls govern access across the workspace. Q&A provides a transaction-question workflow, and findings tools help assess and action identified risks. Audit trails and activity reporting support review of room activity; watermarking and redaction add document handling controls. AI-assisted summaries and explanations complement translation across 17+ languages, which may help teams working across language boundaries. The listed compliance and access capabilities include SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO/SAML and two-factor authentication.
According to Datasite’s pricing approach, costs are customized per transaction and buyers are asked to request a quote, so teams should expect a sales-led purchasing step rather than a published tier comparison. There is no free plan. Web and desktop access for Windows and macOS are complemented by iOS and Android mobile apps; support channels include email, chat, phone and documentation, with 24/7 support. Acquire makes most sense when buy-side teams value mobile deal oversight, structured diligence and AI translation. Organizations seeking a free entry point or a tool outside acquisition due diligence may prefer to assess alternatives designed for those needs.
