The features we needed

Pros

We found that, of the available options, ARALOC was the best choice for boardroom management software at our organization. It has been easy to use for even our most technically-challenged users, and it has been easy to administer. We would recommend ARALOC to anyone looking for a mobile-centric boardroom management software.

Cons

The mobile application is a breeze, however, the installation of the desktop application leaves something to be desired as it uses ClickOnce and installs to the user's profile directory. This caused us some troubles as it needs administrator install rights, but can't be installed as a different user since it installs to the user's profile directory. We had to temporarily grant administrator rights to the user and then install while logged in as the user.

Flexible Secure Document Delivery and Use

Our overall experience was good -- from implementation to use over the years. However, we had to have specialists to help with administration and publishing of the materials.

Pros

Some of the key features for our use were the security of the documents and protecting from being forwarded, printed, or shared with other parties outside of the secure group.

Cons

The publishing of the content as well as the user/group set-up can be a bit confusing.

This software is easy to use: both for viewing purposes and loading information.

My group has been using this product for over a year - and this is the first electronic version of board meeting materials they've experienced. Members of my board have commented that they preferred the earlier version of the annotation tool, and sharing annotations doesn't always come easy to my users. Overall - I like the tool.

ARALOC Customer Review

Overall experience has been good. Data443 has listened to our concerns and made the necessary adjustments in pricing/users in order for us to justify renewing.

Pros

Ability to set up users and select exactly what content they can view. The ability to see when and how many times a user has viewed certain content. Ability to limit printing and sharing capabilities.

Cons

Users sometimes have difficulty getting the application to work on their computer. Also, the cost for the amount we actually use this application is a con.

Management Console

Modevity has supported our Board of Directors for the last 4 years. As the person responsible for preparing 27 binders and shipping them to 7 different states in preparation for a board meeting, you can imagine how happy I am to now be able to electronically build a board book and with a few simple clicks publish the material for viewing. Our board members are also delighted that they no longer have to lug their board book to the meeting (I cannot tell you how many BOD members have gotten on the plane only to realize they left their BOD book at home!). Our board consists of technology savvy members and members who struggle to find the "on" switch on their iPad. However, every BOD member simply loves ARALOC. They love the ease at which they can find and view the board and committee material. Our General Counsel is more than happy that the material is encrypted and I am forever grateful that we switched from paper to ARALOC!

Higher Education Use

Pros

The ability to distinguish access for certain groups to specific documents.

Cons

Having to use a desktop to add/remove documents rather than being able to do so from an ipad or phone app.

We have been using the Araloc secure mobile content management product for approximately 3 years.

Using Aralocs product has provided us a new way to help our clients deliver secure content for meetings, events, training and for publication distribution. Our core business is print and the natural progression of mobile content distribution is exactly what Araloc offers- content delivered securely via all devices. One of the best things is that there is also an app for PC and MAC environments. Therefore it truly is a cross platform solution. Also, the data analytics are fantastic.
