The best meeting and business software.
The software helped me to save time and money on scheduling meetings and running my business.
Pros
Azeus Convene has the possibility to prepare meetings anywhere and offline. It has a system to protect all your information and data so you don't need to worry. The software also notifies all group participants of updates about meetings and other events.
Cons
I did not find any negative points using this software, it helped me a lot in preparing and running meetings.

Transitioning to Digital Meetings with Convene has been helpful
Convene has helped us save a lot of time
Pros
Organizing meetings has been easier with the Agenda Builder of Convene. Letting people review and sign off on important documents has also been more efficient with the help of Convene. The software is also easy to use, you just need spend a little time to familiarize and learn how to use it.
Cons
We just have a hard time following updates, and I wish we can customize the survey.
Reasons for Switching to Convene
It's cheaper and having a local sales presence has also helped us.

Convene software review
The overall experience in using Convene is good in our company.
Pros
Our company has used Convene software for a couple of years for convening internal and external meetings and Board meetings. We particularly like the features of screen synchronisation among all meeting participants and the marking private or public comments and highlighting important information on the documents.
Cons
The latest version for supporting video conference feature is not market competitive that only 8 users can display their camera images and others can only use the voice function. Looking forward to receiving a more advance feature for video conferencing.
Reasons for Choosing Convene
More competitive in pricing and features, and easy to use.

Easy and intuitive to use, does everything we need
Security for our board information, control over users, a single place for all of the information and and easy to use system which is cost effective.
Pros
The software has clearly set out sections, is easy and intuitive to use, has very informative user guides and excellent customer support.
Cons
This software doesn't do as much as as some of the other similar products out there. But it does enough (and in some cases more) that we need.

Easy to understand and use
I very much appreciate how Azeus Convene went out of its way to help us in procuring their product. Government requirements are very tedious for a foreign company joining our bidding but they complied. Their support was also very helpful by providing training and presentations during the product evaluation.
Pros
The software is easy to use, secure and not as pricey as its competitors. The reduced time to prepare and send out folios to the intended recipients were major factors in deciding to use this software. We are also excited about the new features being introduced to improve the software. Price
Cons
I would like the software to have OCR capabilities so that documents scanned and uploaded can be annotated.
Reasons for Choosing Convene
We are a government agency and must follow the procedures listed in our procurement law. Azeus Convene won the bidding based on their price and compliance to our requirements.
