I find escribe to be a software that answers all needs when it comes to municipal meetings. I would recommend it to with much confidence. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I like that it is converted to Words and that I can make changes in that manner. I also like that I can set up many meetings at once. #### Cons I find it not very user friendly, I do a lot of searching at times before I am able to find what I am looking for. Although, we are going to have a training session in the new year, this may help. #### Vendor response Hi Wanda - Thank you for your feedback! We're continuously making improvements to our software to become more user-intuitive. We look forward to the upcoming training session with you and your team. Thanks again! Replied November 2017 --- ### Escribe is great value for the price - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: TERI O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy minutes, bulk scheduling meetings and roll call. #### Cons It takes a bit to set up and the back end has a little learning curve. Once you learn it it's great. #### Reasons for switching to eScribe Too limited for the needs we had. Multiple boards and committees were too much for the old software. --- ### eScribe review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Angela L. - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Reduction in paper is great!! I look forward to using eScribe for report management. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros There are many functions for minute taking. We are hoping to utilize the functions more than we have in the past. #### Cons I do not have issues with the interface but some of my co-workers are afraid to use it. The interface could be more user friendly. I find it difficult to create new templates and they all appear different even though the settings were the same as another template. Preview button is painful to use. --- ### Effective Board Management - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Manpreet B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Now that I have used a few other board management softwares, eScribe wouldn't necessarily be my first choice as I have found the others to be more user-friendly. I will say however, that eScribe offers a variety of functions that are not available or cost extra with other software programs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has a lot of functions that help with governance in an organization, i.e. minutes template, embedding videos, etc. This was my first time using a board management software so it taught me quite a bit about governance documentation. #### Cons There were some "kinks" with some of the processes. I had to call customer support to get small things resolved or manually done from their side. --- ### eScribe - the Only Meeting Software you Need! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Architecture & Planning - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered While it does improve meeting efficiency and engagement, the learning curve is a bit steep at first. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Curating details, writing notes, and making agendas for meetings used to take a while, but with this software it made the process much faster and easier. I also found that they have more functions than other softwares. #### Cons It is not the most user-friendly for a new user, it is a bit difficult to search / find some functions you want. --- ### Credit Valley Conservation - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tamara C. - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It was a painful start. It took us well over a year to resolve a number of issues we were experiencing. As a result staff got frustrated and lost trust in the software. As I have become more experienced with the software I have been able to resolve a number of issues on my own but, I continue to struggle to get staff to trust and use eScribe vs. coming to me to do everything for them. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros - like that it creates a single location to store all our Board reports that staff have access to. Can go back and search for past reports. - like being able to access our Board information from anywhere. #### Cons - I don't find the software overly intuitive and the amount of training I initially received wasn't sufficient to 'trouble-shoot' the number of the issues I was experiencing. There are a lot of settings behind the scene that I find really hard to navigate. - Staff have also commented that they don't find the software overly intuitive as well and since they don't use the software on a daily/regular basis they get frustrated and then come to me to upload their reports that they composed outside of eScribe and start workflows for them. Approvers then call me and say they are fine with the report could I then approve the report for them. I have told staff that I wouldn't do it for them but I will show them how to do it themselves. I end up having to do this for almost every Board meeting so it has actually slowed down the agenda process for me. --- ### City of Kelowna - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sandi H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered eSCRIBE allowed us to streamline the Council Agenda process by moving to an electronic approval process. The benefit to the City is that Report approvers no longer had to physically be available to approve Reports, now they can approve them remotely. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It helped make the Council Agenda process more efficient. #### Cons It was new and there was huge learning curve. --- ### eScribe has been an absolute benefit to Lambton Shores. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Roberta B. - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It makes putting together an agenda a pleasure instead of the old nightmare it use to be. The ease of putting in agenda items once approved is amazing. Easy to use the report writing. Approval process is great. Still iffy on the minutes taking. Does take some getting use to especially when Council puts a motion forward then brings in another before the vote. I #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has made an great difference on the delivery of our agendas to Council. Council members prefer to have the agenda right in front of them either on their computer or ipad rather than a paper copy. #### Cons The information provided for updating is a bit confusing. As I am not a techno wizard when the updates come I am never sure if they are to be forwarded on to all eScribe users or just ipad users. I am very technologically challenged. #### Vendor response Hi Roberta - Thanks for your feedback! Apologies for any confusion. We'll be in touch with you and see what we can do to make things easier for you. Thanks for taking the time to review us! Replied November 2017 --- ### I appreciate the paperless management of meetings. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kim K. - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The ability to manage meetings without paper required. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros the ability to publish to participants, the defer option to move an item to a future meeting, the ability to reorder the meeting items, #### Cons the way that the text doubles uncontrollably, the resolution shows on main page but in the edit button it disappears until entered into again, the inability to track resolutions (I am not sure how others manage their resolutions to ensure completion or to see what resolutions are still "on the books"), I would like to learn more about the software as I do not believe I am using it to it's full potential. #### Vendor response Hi Kim - Thank you for your feedback! We'd love to set some time aside for training so you can take advantage of our software. Sorry to hear about the issues. The good news is that they seem to be associated with an older version, which our support team can easily fix. We'll be in touch! Thanks Kim! Replied November 2017 --- ### Not the easiest software to use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Amy K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Customer service is very good. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The more that I use the software the more I learn. You really need a comprehensive training program for your employees to make the most of the minutes software. It is difficult to use if you are not trained and do not use the program frequently. #### Cons They are working on making the program more user friendly. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 19 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/collaboration/escribe-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Collaboration Software [Smartsheet](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/smartsheet-profile/) **4.5** (3540) Recently recommended **74** times [Wrike](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/wrike-profile/) **4.4** (3038) Recently recommended **68** times [Quickbase](https://www.softwareadvice.com/crm/quick-base-profile/) **4.4** (333) Recently recommended **16** times [Planisware Orchestra](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/planisware-orchestra-profile/) **4.2** (19) Recently recommended **14** times Stuck Between Options?
