Intralinks review and score
Veteran enterprise room for regulated, security-heavy deals, with ISO 27001 and redaction.
One of the longest-running deal platforms we track, Intralinks scores at the very top for data protection and close to it for toolkit and support. Quote-only pricing and a demanding interface hold its overall place down.
Profile re-checked October 2026. Sources: the vendor's own docs, its price page and its security certificates. Method: how we rank.
Security teams at regulated firms tend to recognise the name before anyone else on the deal does. Intralinks, a US company since 1996, carries the regulated and security tags in our facts, and its Data protection mark is level with the highest we give. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are both listed, and the room supports redaction, dynamic watermarking, per-file access rights, single sign-on and two-factor login.
The deal machinery is just as mature. A structured Q&A module, bulk upload and a detailed audit trail give it one of the strongest Diligence toolkit marks on the list, and Deal support is high, which matters on cross-border transactions where questions arrive at all hours. For banks and large corporates with a formal vendor review, it is the kind of room that clears procurement without much argument.
The trade-offs show up in the criteria that measure friction. Ease of adoption is among the lowest in our top ten, and pricing is quote-only with no free trial in our facts, which costs it on Cost predictability. Checklist breadth is middling because e-signature, a mobile app, a public API and AI features are all missing from our facts. On a pure security weighting it climbs; on the overall list it settles in fifth place.
