Impressive

We now have everything in one place, which we never had before. instead of emailing 20 attachments to an emailed agenda, people can get it simple and easy every time.

PROS

Board Bookit is very easy and simple to understand and use, for the administrator as well as the regular user. Everything is in one place - works great!

CONS

At times, we have members who have a hard time receiving BB emails. It's usually a problem on their end, but it can be a hassle.

Vendor Response

My worklife is soooo much easier!

The best experience -- right from the beginning -- is the support. If we can't figure it out on email, someone calls and we set up an appointment to get it right. Everyone has been friendly from the very beginning.

PROS

1) "Cloning" meetings and agendas 2) Emailing right from the site to our Board members 3) All of our Board members took to the site at the first meeting 4) Presentations are done right from Bookit now instead of working back and forth with Powerpoint and printed materials; we just project Bookit to the screen 5) No more dealing with Adobe; which is not always user friendly with Excel documents

CONS

1) Agenda formatting; but we have a workaround; I wish there was a way to reduce/increase font size, margins, and the ability to put spacing inbetween agenda items.

Reason for choosing Govenda

Price and the ability to add unlimited users at no extra cost

Vendor Response

Govenda Review 2022

Great

PROS

User friendly and effective. It is easy to add and delete documents. I like that users outside of the administrator isn't prompted by all notices when changes are made.

CONS

My Board members have a problem suggesting amendments and making notes on documents. I suggest a box option to add comments to minutes and documents and a share options so it can be seen and or accessed by members

Reason for choosing Govenda

The sales rep's enthusiasm, affordability and ease of use.

Vendor Response

Best Online Portal!

BoardBookit has given us the tools to distribute our board materials and documents; not only electronically but safely! The system has also allowed our managers to E sign materials before deadlines. It has truly been as great addition to our organization.

PROS

Ease of Use Security PDF Sharing capabilities

CONS

I don't really have any cons just a suggestion about the time entry on the agenda if it could update with the hour and minutes. For example if I place 10 minutes unto the time frame it would put 9:00am-9:10AM on the agenda. We manually type this out but other than that this system is great!

Reason for choosing Govenda

The customer service as well as user friendly abilities. We have a lot of senior board members that would still need to access materials remotely. Board Book It's portal and app were the easiest to use.

Vendor Response

Hi Phyillicia! Thank you for your kind words. We love to hear that you are enjoying the ease of our portal. It is also great to hear that our functionality and security have been good assistance for your organization. Thanks again!
