A joy to use...wish I had been able to use this in my last few EA positions. I learned about it when I moved to my current association.

Supper responsive support team at BoardEffect, fairly intuitive to use, makes the workflow for assembling Board materials so much easier and saves a lot of time. There are a steady stream of webinars to keep users up to date on the platform, and the BoardEffect team is always happy to get suggestions for improvements. For any company concerned with security of its Board materials, this is a must-have product.

I would like to download the agenda pdf with no formatting, so that I can create an annotated agenda for the chair - have not found a way to do that but I am hoping BE will come up with a solution!

Clear, consistent communications across all membership has been achieved as well as access to mission critical documents to help members support the organization.

Ease of set up, use, some flexibility to "customize" in the manner that you use it. Security, ease of building meeting books, events, and communicating to users through the portal. The reports feature is amazingly helpful.

Third party integrations and the ability to use Microsoft products does not exist at this time. As a nonprofit, can't afford to move over the ever evolving Diligent parent platform. The knowledge base is not helpful as it leaves those seeking information with more questions.

BoardEffect is great a a secure file sharing system, and offers good ways to cooperate, but our board has been very reluctant in adopting it and is not really happy. For them it is another system they need to learn in their busy lives. We try to steer most board interactions involving files into Board Effect but it is slow going. They do not use the discussion forum to interact amongst each other but stick to email. For admins I wish for greater ease in creating meeting books and editing them to make them look the way we want to.

- I like having a secure file sharing system that offers safe communication and file archiving features. - I like having a dedicated system for board management - Amazing customer service! Fast and competent.

- having to build a meeting book to get a preview - meeting book design is tedious and could be more flexible - agendas become giant as soon as documents are added and there is no way to change that - saving an existing meeting book as a template would be nice - the calendar subscription takes very long to push into personal calendars, sometimes re-subscribing is necessary - zoom add-on only possible with autogenerated links, we work with a dedicated zoom link for the board - I need an option to invite guest directors to join committee meetings, currently I need to create a separate calendar invite

BoardEffect provided an easy-to-use and efficient platform for managing my board and committee meetings, which I appreciated. It enabled me to access all necessary documents and information quickly and easily, as well as securely and efficiently share documents with my board members. BoardEffect also provided a straightforward user interface that made it simple for me to navigate the platform and access the features and tools I required.

It can be challenging for someone who is just starting out to find the necessary materials.

We have used BoardEffect for over a decade. Board Members love it. Support is excellent. There are numerous webinars which remain available to assist. Helpdesk is responsive. While there are many new options that were not available when we selected Board Effect, they require much more work from the administrative side and do not have all the built in features available in BoardEffect.

BoardEffect was easy to set up and is intuitive to use. New Board Members are able to quickly orient themselves with minimal support. Handbook makes accessing essential documents easy and with administrator attention, the most current documents are at the fingertips of Board Members as needed. Meeting book is easy to organize and distribute.

emails don't look great. Can't format font, etc.
