DealVault is a cloud-based storage solution that ensures easy access to archives and efficient management of your deal data. Archives can be securely accessed, making it easy to analyze, collaborate on and unarchive entire VDRs. You can view, search, download, and move files and folders, upload an entire archive to an active VDR (rehydrate), and manage all of your archives in a central place.

DealVault archives are subscription-based. Your organization can have several subscriptions, for example, one subscription for for US operations, and another for European operations. These subscriptions are managed by the Subscription Manager, who is designated when a DealVault contract is signed. The Subscription Manager reviews contracts and manages requests for an archive to be added to DealVault. For more information, see Managing DealVault subscriptions.

DealVault archives are read-only and cannot be modified.

DealVault trials

Overview

When a USB or DealVault archive is ordered, a 30-day trial subscription is included. The trial allows you try out a subset of DealVault functions to decide if you want to upgrade to a paid subscription. The trial allows you to download files, but does not allow you to unarchive files. Your trial ends either after the 30-day period or when you sign a contract. You can see the number of days left in your trial by clicking Orders & Archives, then clicking DealVault Archives.
