EKNOW M&A Software Tools review
Configurable M&A workspaces connect deal tracking, diligence, data rooms, and integration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
EKNOW M&A Software Tools is a configurable, browser-based platform for corporate development and M&A teams, advisors, and related organizations. Its scope runs from deal pipeline and portfolio tracking through diligence, transaction document collaboration, and post-merger integration. Teams can enable selected workspaces and modules, then use dashboards, reports, and KPIs to follow deal activity and value-capture progress. It is aimed at groups coordinating several stages of an M&A process rather than buyers seeking a narrowly focused valuation or market-data tool.
The workflow coverage is a central strength. Diligence checklists and workstream organization sit alongside a secure transaction data room with access controls, version history, and an audit trail. Documents can be viewed, edited, and collaboratively handled in-browser. After a transaction, teams can plan integration and track synergies, approvals, and progress. Configurable workflows and workspaces allow a team to select the parts it needs, while integrations with Microsoft Office 365, Google Drive, and Microsoft Teams support document and communication workflows. This breadth suits teams that want diligence and integration activity connected to deal tracking; organizations looking only for pipeline tracking may find the wider scope unnecessary.
According to the vendor's published plan structure, Team supports a single pipeline, Business multiple pipelines, Enterprise hierarchical pipeline organization, and Enterprise+ matrixed hierarchical pipelines. All four are annual bundles that include dedicated systems, software, administration, and support; pricing requires contacting EKNOW. The vendor describes a sandbox available by inquiry and mutual NDA, rather than a fixed-duration trial. Deployment options include cloud and self-hosted, with Enterprise+ listing an on-premises hosting option. The product also lists SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO/SAML, and two-factor authentication. Teams should consider EKNOW when configurable M&A workspaces and diligence-to-integration coverage matter; those seeking transparent self-serve pricing or a non-web application should look elsewhere.
