Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Virtual Vaults is a cloud-based deal productivity platform for M&A professionals, private equity firms, corporate M&A teams, legal advisers and real-estate transaction teams. It combines Workspaces for deal preparation, a secure Data Room for due diligence and Q&A, and Archive capabilities for preserving transaction records. Its buyer groups, clean-team controls, document-level permissions and unlimited buy-side users make it particularly suited to transactions involving many external participants.
Pricing is structured around the Basic and Standard plans. Basic costs €754 per month with monthly billing, €640 quarterly, €527 semi-annually or €452 annually. It includes up to three sell-side users, unlimited buy-side users and Basic Q&A. Standard costs €914 monthly, €776 quarterly, €639 semi-annually or €548 annually. It raises the allowance to seven sell-side users and adds Standard Q&A, a full audit trail and document-level permissions. A separate Workspaces Free plan is available for deal advisers. The paid Data Room plans advertise unlimited storage.
The standout strength is breadth across the transaction lifecycle. Teams can prepare documents, control viewing and sharing, review activity, manage structured Q&A, use a native Excel viewer, perform mass upload, download and rename actions, and monitor buyer engagement. Watermarked viewing, encrypted USB and cloud archives, and AI document redaction in Workspaces add further controls. The platform is available on the web and through an API, with integrations for Jurimesh, Emma Legal and Lextract. Choose Virtual Vaults when buyer-group management and end-to-end deal workflow matter more than a low starting price; smaller transactions with simpler access needs may find Basic’s sell-side limit and cost harder to justify.
