Great for Nonprofits

Overall, we have loved BoardSpot and I have adopted it as the board management software that I use for several of the boards that I sit on.

PROS

I love using BoardSpot to simplify the management of documents related to board business. Our team is small and finding an affordable yet comprehensive platform has made managing the board of directors much easier.

CONS

As of right now, we have not found anything we do not like. We have requested that the platform add a connection to Slack or provide an in-house discussion platform.

Reason for choosing BoardSpot

The simplicity of use combined with the pricing was the selling point for me. There is no more affordable platform with similar usability.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Turner. We appreciate this positive feedback and are honored to serve your organization with an affordable yet powerful tool!

Great tools to keep the Board informed

So far so good! All my expectations have been met and the upgrades have been really good. Looking forward to seeing more optionalities.

PROS

it keeps my board in the know and current with all documents. I have one upload and they can come look at the documents or past minutes/agendas anytime.

CONS

Would be nice to have a collaboration site. This would enable the board to add ideas and chat about certain topics.

Vendor Response

Thanks for this great feedback and the feature suggestion. I have sent your collaboration tool idea to the team. So glad our recent releases have improved the portal for you and your board.

Boardspot helps our nonprofit function well

PROS

Easy enough to use that everyone can access and view calendar, meeting minutes, etc

CONS

Sometimes we dont get all notifications, it is pricey for the function

Vendor Response

We appreciate knowing about the notifications. We have the ability to check on the email delivery for each message sent. In your portal you can submit a chat and we would be happy to troubleshoot this with you. Glad you like the other portal features!

Great platform and phenomenal customer service.

The best "feature" BoardSpot has is their customer service team. They are amazing. Very responsive, really listen to our feedback, and always offer solutions to any issue that arises. We are excited about this new relationship!

PROS

BoardSpot is easy to set up and easy to use. Most all functions are very self explanatory. It's features are competitive with many much higher priced options.

CONS

The portal seems a bit new so I think some features that may be useful are still in the works or coming very soon.

Reasons for switching to BoardSpot

On Board had become unaffordable to our organization.

Vendor Response

We really appreciate hearing that you have had an easy time setting up your portal, and that our team has earned your trust. We are honored to partner with your organization!

New to BoardSpot

PROS

Our nonprofit board is better able to focus on our work, organize documents, and coordinate meetings.

CONS

It's excellent for our nonprofit board; I only wish our church (with a much smaller budget) could afford to use it.

Vendor Response

John, so glad your board service has been improved with BoardSpot. Since day one we have had a grant program for organizations with smaller budgets. Please contact us and we can talk about options for your church as well!

Our Community Foundation uses BoardSpot!

Our board has used it for just over 2 yrs now; what a relief to have everything current and past stored in one location and easy to find.

PROS

Someone else created the perfect program for {perhaps} inexperienced and/or volunteer boards that makes it easy for everyone to use.

CONS

I do not have any "dislikes" about BoardSpot. I appreciate this tool that is handy for a volunteer board member.

Vendor Response

We want to ensure that every nonprofit has the tools to govern effectively and get things done easily. Thanks for this feedback!

Finally!

PROS

An easy-to-use, user-friendly platform to keep track of all important board information -- members, contacts, committees, documents -- in a way that is simple and appropriately accessible for everyone. I love this tool and we've only just begun to use it. It has already saved me so much time. Plus, the customer service -- sales, onboarding, and responsiveness to questions -- has been outstanding.

CONS

The only down side I had initially -- the lack of an integrated Zoom link -- has been addressed since we joined. So far, I don't have anything I don't like!

Vendor Response

Saved you time! That's music to our ears! And we appreciate knowing our customer service has met your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to write this out.

PROS

BoardSpot is very easy to use. The ability to have all our materials and meetings in one place is so helpful!

Document organization is on our roadmap for development in the new year. It's great to hear that your portal makes Board meetings easy and resources accessible! Thank you for the feedback.

Review of Boardspot

PROS

Having everything (board bios, documents, meeting/event calendars and zoom links, etc.) available in one place takes much of the nuisance out of being a trustee

CONS

I can't think of anything I'd add at this point.

Our mission is to help nonprofit boards focus on impact rather than administrative tasks. Happy to hear we are doing that for you!

A Great Solution for Smaller Organizations

We hope that our use of BoardSpot allows us to provide lighter board meeting packages by putting more cyclical elements on the porta.

PROS

We like that it is fairly intuitive. It was easy to set up, and the price is reasonable for a smaller nonprofit organization such as ours.

CONS

I wish it would go right to the "Board of Directors" page when one logs in.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Dennis! Our meeting packets and document storage are intended to provide exactly that, as well as quick and easy meeting setup, meeting invitations, and agenda/meeting packet creation. So glad you are finding value in your portal!

Great resource for small nonprofits that want to do big things!

It's been great, and I have referend at least two other nonprofits to board spot.

PROS

It truly is the most cost-effective way for small nonprofits to manage operations!

CONS

For what we do, I have found no cons. Its a great resource.

Reason for choosing BoardSpot

From a User's POV

As a relatively new Trustee to this institution, it is so efficient for whatever you may need for a current meeting as well as documents that have been created in the past that may be referred to by others.

PROS

I love that all docs, agendas, minutes and calendars are easily accessible. Also, that everyone's contact information is easily available. Having everything in one place that it easy to navigate makes pre meeting preparation a breeze. No more searching through tons of emails to acquire all of the docs needed.

CONS

Great product. Nothing to complain about...

Vendor Response

Thank you, Janet, for sharing from your Trustee point of view. You are who we made this portal for! And I am delighted that we can help make your service easier and more efficient, so you can focus on getting things done - not searching your inbox!

CONS

After using all of the functions of this program I am not certain that I was able to logout of the web sight due to the lack of directions for doing so.

We appreciate hearing that you are enjoying the calendar and meeting RSVPs. Thank you for pointing out that the logout was not easy for you to locate.
