### Most mentioned pros

- Directors can annotate documents, ask questions, and share insights directly within the platform, reducing email clutter and improving engagement.
- Collaboration is vital in our field with multiple users across multiple employers and this system is excellent for tracking consistency.
- Building and altering meeting packs is also very simple to do, and Knowa has some great productivity functionality for navigating and marking up meeting papers.

### Most mentioned cons

- On rare occasions, software can slow down - although this may be down to factors outside Knowa's control such as users network issues.
- can be difficult to navigate all of the areas needed, especially with add on elements for risk register etc
- Only a minor point but when comparing against the minutes it can be a little confusing. When adding a new member to the collaboration space, it is annoying that you add them and always have to add them to all groups on there as I sometimes forget to do this.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I’ve found Knowa to be an exceptional tool for modern board governance. It truly streamlines the entire process of managing board and committee meetings, making our role more efficient and impactful. The platform is user-friendly. Directors can annotate documents, ask questions, and share insights directly within the platform, reducing email clutter and improving engagement. The Knowa support team is always on hand, responding quickly and helpfully whenever assistance is needed. Their proactive and friendly approach ensures any issues are resolved promptly, which makes a huge difference in maintaining smooth operations.

#### Cons

One minor limitation is that the platform currently doesn’t allow for scheduling breaks between sub-items within a meeting agenda. While this hasn’t been a major obstacle, it would be a useful feature for longer sessions. The good news is that the Knowa team has advised they are actively looking into this enhancement, which reflects their commitment to continuous improvement and listening to user feedback.

A good experience with the software hinges on getting everyone engaged with it, but once everyone is setup with an account and it becomes a very effective way to collaborate where multiple separate organisations are trying to work together.

The collaboration features; it's very easy to share files with clients securely, including files that would normally be too large or sensitive to share via email. Building and altering meeting packs is also very simple to do, and Knowa has some great productivity functionality for navigating and marking up meeting papers.

#### Cons

The cons that I had with the software seem to have been resolved; in the past I had found that manipulating documents in the file storage area was slightly cumbersome but it has since been updated to make this much easier.

### Review of governance platform on Knowa

- Overall rating: 4/5

- Product usage: 3-5 years · daily
- Reviewed: March 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I find Knowa very helpful and use the system daily but it does appears difficult to engage all our Trustees.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

It's easy to locate files on document storage. The meeting management facility is excellent. The team at Knowa are extremely helpful, friendly and are always striving to make improvements. The Risk Register facility is user friendly and helpful as the Trustee and advisers are able to access. I like the ability to ask other group members to either vote or read a post. I like the collaboration area but it does appear to be difficult to encourage our advisers to respond to this thread. The reason why they prefer to respond via email is that they are unable to keep an audit trail at their end.

#### Cons

It would be helpful if documents within each of the categories could be added so the last document is automatically shown at the top of the list.It would be helpful if once documents are added to the storage area, there is a facility to rename the file. At the moment, I am altering the title (making it slightly shorter and trying to cover full details of document ie add a date and removing any reference number from an adviser) in Solvay's storage area before moving to Knowa.

#### Vendor response

Hi Annette, thank you for sharing your feedback! We genuinely value insights like yours and are committed to continuous improvement.

### Knowa Scheme & Board Management Review

- Overall rating: 4/5

- Reviewed: February 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I've found the experience easy, helpful and productive. The procurement process wasn't overly protracted and there was a great pragmatic approach to getting things up and running. When there are issues I've found the response time short and issues do get resolved. Customer service is clearly highly valued by the Knowa team and in a busy role like mine that's important.

#### Pros

Because it's so easy to use it really saves me valuable time. The functionality in meeting management is also helpful.

#### Cons

I don't use all of the functions however, what do use I like very much. Perhaps the only issue for me has been in the appearance of Excel in View mode and the need to convert to PDF format which doesn't always work well.

I've been using Knowa daily, and it has truly transformed the way I manage the pension schemes I look after. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, efficient, and reliable, making complex tasks so much easier to handle. The organization and collaboration tools are second to none, allowing me to stay on top of everything with ease. Knowa has become an essential part of my workflow, and I genuinely can’t imagine managing pensions without it. Highly recommend!

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

What I liked most about Knowa is its intuitive interface and how it streamlines managing my portfolio of pension schemes. The tools for organising and collaborating are great for staying on top of tasks. It’s a game-changer for simplifying day-to-day tasks! Plus, the support team, especially Antonia, are always readily available and super helpful!

#### Cons

The only thing I’d say I liked least about Knowa is that it took me a little time to explore all the features and understand how they fit into my workflow. However, with the support team's help and the available training material, I soon got the hang of it, and everything became straightforward after that.

### Knowa ... My likes and dislikes

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Secure online portal, easy to use.Building meeting packs: I like this function the best and use it the most. It saves an awful lot of time, paper, ink and postage costs. An absolute must where working from home is now very common and some of the old ways of working are therefore no longer practical. Voting and Must Read functions: Are very useful. Knowa support: Very efficient, helpful and responsive staff.

#### Cons

Document storage facility structure: I would prefer a Windows File Explorer layout. Interaction with Trustee board and advisers via Knowa is what we seem to struggle with the most. Discussion threads are therefore not as useful to us as they perhaps could be.If I understand correctly Knowa doesn't appear to be quite so flexible as email in this respect ... unless it's just my lacking of Knowa-ledge. Keeping track of posts which are still awaiting responses: Seems to be achieved by using the star function and/or archiving completed discussions leaving only 'open' discussions visible. This is one of the trickiest things I personally find with Knowa.

### Knowa experience

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Industry: Chemicals
- Company size: 10000+ employees
- Product usage: 1-3 years · daily
- Reviewed: March 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I've had a very positive experience with Knowa; it has made the exchange and storage of very sensitive data much easier and secure which satisfies internal controls managers and auditors. Knowa provides a single site of knowledge which offers massive efficiencies when enabling new trustees or advisers to gain insight and background on the pension scheme. The preparation of meeting packs is a much smoother streamlined process where multiple advisers upload and the site controller can organise accordingly and then publish - saving so much time, paper, postage and risk.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The most compelling features of Knowa include the ability to have a one-stop shop where reference material, documentation and meeting material can all be held in a safe and secure environment; where meeting packs can be prepared and where meeting packs can be published for all participants to then login and view. The efficiencies in terms of time and effort are massive!

#### Cons

With some trustees slightly resistant to new technology, it has been an effort at times to obtain total their total and consistent engagement. This is not a criticism of Knowa but perhaps a generational comment. Many users struggle to use the @ symbol when participating in discussion threads, so perhaps some messaging can be made more obvious or clear to inform or remind within the software.

Great tool, very glad we have it and can use it across clients. The time and investment you continue to put in gives us confidence this will be a tool we can continue to use for our clients for the long term.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Ability to keep all key documents, meeting packs and decisions in an easy to use front end makes Knowa a fantastic tool for trustees. The continued technology evolution, plus the security and back up, delivers confidence and robustness. Being able to offer the Company and advisers access to certain areas, as well as change access over time as roles change, makes this a future proof tool.

#### Cons

Some of the functionality is less intuitive - for example:- sub items in meeting packs cannot be dragged between main items- when uploading a file to a meeting pack, it is then tricky to find it when trying to upload it to another area (it works well the other way)- it would be good to have an access which allows upload of documents but not reading/downloading of documents (for when multiple advisers need access to the same group but you dont want commercially sensitive information shared)- I'd love an app for this - the outlook plugin is brilliant

#### Pros

1. The functionality for running Trustee board meetings; from publishing the agenda through to approving the Minutes, is exceptional. At a recent meeting, our legal adviser, without being asked or prompted, praised Knowa and declared it the best Board management software they had come across. 2. The secure collaboration between Trustees and advisers and the ability to retain a tracked record of discussions/decisions/approvals. 3. [sensitive content hidden] availability and willingness to engage and assist is off the scale.

#### Cons

I am still coming to terms with the filing structure on our site. The search facility is very good and effective, but not as effective as knowing where to look/file in the first place.

#### Cons

A couple things I like least are: -the fact that you have to give access within access to spaces. (although this is very secure!) -I don't think you should have the 'stay logged in for 2 weeks' function as this isn't very secure. -folders and documents have no order which is annoying as a couple Trustees have contacted me asking why something from from 2009 for example is above something from 2022. So to implement an order function, where we can number documents so they can go in date order, would be great.
