Ease of Setup

  1. EthosData: Requires file uploads with no direct integrations, making the setup longer than 5 minutes.
  2. Orangedox: Offers seamless integration with Google Workspace, allowing you to create a fully functional data room in just a few minutes, even for trial users.

Pricing and Value

  1. EthosData: Starts at $590 for their PRO plan, covering one data room and five admins.
  2. Orangedox: Provides flexible and cost-effective options starting at $45 per admin for unlimited data rooms.

Customer Support and Onboarding

  1. EthosData: Offers training only for higher-tier plans and lacks 24/7 customer support.
  2. Orangedox: Provides onboarding and training, even for free trial users, and offers more accessible customer support.

Features Comparison

  1. Custom Branding: Orangedox includes custom branding; EthosData does not.
  2. Security Features: Both provide single sign-on, access expiration times, and advanced metrics:
  3. EthosData's Unique Feature: Fence view for enhanced visual security, which does make it hard to read the document as you’ll need to constantly move the mouse to view the entire document. Not the best when trying to court investors.
  4. Orangedox Advantage: Uses secure file-sharing technology which prevents unauthorized forwarding of sensitive documents & files. This ensures only your intended recipients can access your documents, safeguarding your confidential documents.

Conclusion

When it comes to secure document sharing and data room management, Orangedox emerges as the superior choice for businesses of all sizes. Its seamless integration with Google Workspace, cost-effective pricing starting at $45 per admin, and inclusive onboarding and training set it apart from EthosData. While EthosData offers niche features like fence view, Orangedox focuses on delivering practical and user-friendly security features that enhance workflow and protect sensitive information. While both platforms cater to secure file sharing, Orangedox shines with its seamless integration, cost-effective pricing, and user-centric approach, making it an appealing option for businesses seeking a straightforward, budget-friendly solution. For those prioritizing affordability, functionality, and a user-centric experience, Orangedox is the clear winner.
