Boardable has greatly improved the way I work with my Board of Directors
The most impactful thing this software has allowed me to do is mobilize my board members more effectively to make faster and more well-informed decisions.
PROSI love how easy it is to keep my core members informed. I also love that I can segment them based on committee's or initiatives to keep the 'lines clear' on only information pertinant to what they're involved in.
CONSThe company is still young; I would love to have better API integrations but I'm sure those are in the development pipeline.

First time user
Having the ability to have all of the administrative resources available all in one location and easy to access.
PROSI loved most about this software started with the customer service. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was very knowledgeable and friendly. I loved that the all of the tools were available in all in one place.
CONSThe one thing that I least liked about this software was more around instructions of how to use the software rather than the software itself.
Reason for choosing Boardable
I saw that Boardable had the ability to have all of the tools in one location rather than the tools only be accessible from various locations.

Boardable is simple and accessible
Succession planning: Boardable ensures all my board's important business documents are held in one place for easy passing on to new board members. Ease of use: Boardable is clean and uncluttered, making it relatively easy for even non-tech-savvy board members to pick up and use. Good pricing: there's a range of pricing models that make it accessible for even a micro-business.
PROSBoardable is clean and uncluttered. That makes it relatively easy for my board and committee members to pick up and use. From a strategic perspective, Boardable captures everything that's important in my boards' business in one place, so that it can easily be passed on to the next generation of the board. Good for succession planning. I now use Boardable for 5 different organizations, and I find switching from one to the other really simple. Boardable's responsiveness is just terrific. Because I am based in Australia, any queries I have are usually responded to overnight.
CONSWhen I onboard a new director, it's not always easy to ensure they have access to previous documents and discussions. Also, the inhouse video option didn't work well for me - but then that's probably because we are based in Australia. Fortunately we can still choose to use Zoom, which works well for us.
Vendor Response
Thank you for this lovely review, Meredith. It's a pleasure working with you and we love hearing all your suggestions and ideas for improvement. We're releasing an enhancement to our video platform next week that will dramatically improve the experience for international customers. It's always wonderful to hear that Boardable is helpful with succession planning and easy for all board members to use! Thank you, Samantha

This is a great tool that eliminates the need to send lots of documents to Board members.
The software reduced communications, hunting for documents and collecting Board votes for online voting. I like it a lot.
PROSThe Boardable platform is great for several things. 1. It eliminates the need to send emails and attachments to Board members in the hopes that they will get them all and read them all before the meeting. 2. It cuts down on problems a lot of Board members face at larger corporations with blocked file sharing tools like Box, Dropbox or Google Drive. This isn't an issue because it's out on a server. 3. It cuts down on so much wasted paper from Board packets. Rather than print things out and then toss them after each meeting, Board members can now be responsible for reading and accessing their own Board information. 4. It keeps a record of Board attendance, Board votes and Board meeting documents, all sorted nicely. 5. You can do online voting between meetings - known as polls.
CONSI think there are some opportunities for some small design changes, and some opportunities to add in other tools that would make sense like screenshare, conferencing, committee communications, etc. Having said that, I like this tool enough that I have recommended it to other non-profits in the area, and do speak highly of it frequently. I think it's got legs to be something pretty great with a few more iterations.

Simple and Easy to Use
I love how Boardable has everything we need in one place. I really like using the scheduler to find a meeting date instead of having to us another program to do that. They are constantly evolving and building enhancements to the software making it very easy to use and intuitive. I like the security features that allow each group to only see information pertaining to their particular group. This helps to ensure that sensitive documents are secure within the software. Members of our board love how the software is self-explanatory and easy to navigate through. The transition from our old software was very well received because of this.
CONSThere are still a couple enhancements that I would like to see, but their customer service team is very open to hearing new ideas that will ultimately help everyone using the software.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review Tiffany! We are happy to hear our platform is easy to use for your members, and has helped keep all your documents safe. Thank you for being a great partner!

Beautifully thought-out software
From the sales process to Tech Support/Customer Service, they have been fantastic.
PROSWe have been using Boardable for a year now. It is incredibly easy to use, and has a clean, uncluttered interface. When our CEO started using it to create meetings, agendas, and documents, I expected a lot of questions to help her through the process. Instead, she immediately was able to use it without help. It's that intuitive. Almost all of our board members signed up right away; they are now able to see meeting documents *before* they show up at the meeting. The phone app is still new, but so far I'm very impressed.
CONSNo complaints. Boardable does not have all the bells and whistles of some of their competition, but we're a local not-for-profit. We don't need those features (nor do we wish to pay for them).
Reason for choosing Boardable
Boardable had the best and simplest interface. Good experience with their staff. And the price was within our means.

Overall, Bearable is really a game changer in helping us organise for meetings
PROSBoardable is the tool I use to build agendas, and organise meeting documents in just a single click. we are also able to conduct polls using this software.
CONSThe audio quality with the zoom integration is really bad. I wish this issue can be resolved.

All you need in one place.
All the features that Boardable incorporates for streamlining communication with our Board & Committees has been extremely invaluable. I love the ability to have personal profiles for everyone, the ease of scheduling meetings, discussions & document files in one place. Definitely has cut down on the amount of time once needed to search through email threads with attachments. I highly recommend Boardable.
CONSThis is not really a con, just a personal suggestion to fit our organization and to make Boardable more appealing...it would be cool to be able to put pictures into the Dashboard, Discussions & group descriptions. As they say...a picture is worth a thousand words.

A good product for the money.
Overall, it is a good product.
PROSThe ability to have a file sharing platform for employees working remotely.
CONSImprovements are constantly being made, which is great, but users are not given the option to turn some things on and off. If you don't like something, you are told there is no way for you to opt out of using it.
Reason for choosing Boardable
The group we had working on selecting a product thought Boardable was more user friendly than the others we were looking at, but that it was not as admin friendly as others. We opted for more user friendly than admin friendly.

Boardable is user-friendly
Using Boardable is much more cost effective than mailing out board packets that tend to be large. I really enjoy it on the administrative end but am still working on board members taking advantage of the ease of this software.
PROSI love the ability to create an agenda, ease of publishing meetings, the Document Center and the ability to create a Dashboard message. Although I haven't yet had the opportunity to use all the features, I feel the software is very user-friendly. The Academy is very helpful and the integration process has been fairly easy on the administrative end.
CONSWhen editing People, rather than return to the main page, I would like the ability to move directly to the next person.
Reason for choosing Boardable
I was not the person that researched products but I believe the free trial period was a big plus as well as the different tiers of membership.

An invaluable tool for 2020 and beyond
Boardable has been invaluable to Musical Family Tree. Since COVID started we have operated all virtually and I honestly don't know how we could have done it without Boardable. It has allowed us to integrate new board members, and continue functioning without a physical space.
PROSBeing able to have all of our documents and processes in one place has been fantastic. Having a shared calendar and address list is very helpful.
CONSWe tried the video conferencing and it didn't work as well as some other software available online.

Very happy and the team is helpful
Better and easier communications with the board. Coordination of all board documents. Quicker development and distribution of minutes. Polling to allow for one-off decisions. Love this program. And as a small non-profit it was more affordable than programs that do not even offer some of the features that boardable does.
PROSThe ease of set up and now the ease of communication with my board of directors that are from different geographic areas. We can start and agenda, add to it, send to board when ready, and still add, then we can do the minutes during the meeting and they are done at the end of the meeting. Has sped up our communications time with our minutes and our board overall.
CONSThe integration of the use of video is not quite done and I can't wait to use that part. We need the option of video or allowing someone to just phone in. Since that is not an option we have not used it. Some of our members live in areas with very poor broadband so the call-in option is needed. WOuld have been nice if it was integrated with Zoom instead.
Vendor Response
Dale, thank you so much for this review. We're excited to share that we've made great strides in the video integration platform and are also launching an integration with Zoom. Thank you again for all your suggestions. Glad to hear that Boardable is really speeding up communication with your board. Thank you, Samantha (Director of Customer Success)
