SmartRoom vs. Onehub
When “Simple” Isn’t Secure Enough
Onehub offers basic file sharing with some permission controls — but mission-critical transactions demand more. SmartRoom delivers the structure, security, and support your team needs to execute with confidence.

Built for Security.
Engineered for Transactions.
Built for Security.
Engineered for Transactions.
Onehub is often marketed as a lightweight virtual data room — but its simplicity becomes a liability when managing high-risk, high-value processes. It lacks workflow automation, robust compliance features, and hands-on support.
SmartRoom is built for real transactions — M&A, fundraising, legal review, investor engagement — with advanced tools and white-glove service that make complex workflows simple, secure, and scalable.
Key Differentiators
Onehub may offer folder sharing and permissioning, but it doesn’t offer the depth, automation, or real-time insight needed to manage serious transactions.
SmartRoom brings deal teams the advanced features and expert support they need to get across the finish line — faster, safer, and with less friction.
SECURITY
Document-level rights, SmartLock, download/print controls, full DRM/IRM
Basic role-based access; lacks advanced lifecycle controls like SmartLock
COMPLIANCE & GOVERNANCE
Compliant with SEC, FINRA, GDPR, HIPAA — with full audit trails
Limited audit capabilities; no integrated compliance tooling
EXTERNAL COLLABORATION
Granular external access with full logging and control
External sharing possible, but lacks enterprise oversight features
TRANSACTIONAL WORKFLOW AUTOMATION
Redaction, Q&A, SmartDrive, activity tracking, diligence tools
No native support for Q&A, redaction, or advanced reporting
INVESTOR ENGAGEMENT
Branded investor portals, capital call distribution, performance dashboards
No dedicated investor workflows or communication features
