Ellty vs netfiles Deal Room

Ellty provides browser-based document sharing and virtual data rooms for fundraising, M&A, due diligence, and client work. Its document analytics show who opened a file, which pages they read, and time spent on each page. Users can set link expiration, require email verification or passwords, restrict downloads, and revoke access. Depending on the plan, data rooms include visitor management features such as NDAs, Q&A, folder permissions, analytics, and audit logs. Listed capabilities also include audit trails, document watermarking, Q&A workspaces, and e-signatures. Plans specify 50 GB of storage per user and a maximum single-file upload of 2 GB. Ellty says stored documents use AES-256 encryption and data in transit uses TLS 1.3. It describes AWS hosting with backups, threat detection, WAF, DDoS protection, and rate limiting. The service requires no installation and can be accessed in a browser on Mac or desktop computers. Ellty offers a free plan and a 14-day trial without a credit card. It states that its service is not directly SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified.
