An excellent product - easy to use and guides teams toward best practices
Implementation support was good. The product was easy to figure out during testing and issues were quickly resolved. Once implemented there has been zero downtime so far. I general am more reserved in my reviews but this is an excellent product - 5 stars! I do not work for this company and I was not solicited in any way for this review.
Pros
Very intuitive for users, easy to implement, tight integration with Microsoft products that we have already invested in.
Cons
Requires some user training (which the vendor was happy to provide). Would prefer more obvious ways for including guests in meeting agendas. Not integrated into Teams search (this is a Microsoft limitation and would apply to any similar product)
Reasons for Choosing Decisions
The tight integration with MS Teams, where remote meetings happen, to meeting minutes, decisions and task lists.
Reasons for Switching to Decisions
We continue to use Confluence for our knowledge base and technical manuals. We use Decisions for our meeting minutes.

Decisions in the public sector
Decisions supports all types of meeting forums in our organization. To be able to follow up tasks etc. through Planner strengthens our mobility in the organization.
Pros
Decisions integration with Teams! Can not get any better!
Cons
Would give us increased use if you could choose to connect it to my own OneDrive at meetings that I book in Outlook.
Reasons for Switching to Decisions
How the information was handled, the limitation in mobility, license structure and the requirement to have to work in another platform.

My go to place for my meeting
Pros
I really like that I can find all my agenda topics, attached documents and minutes in one place. The integration with Teams is perfect and save us a lot of time from sharing the agenda to the minutes. Customer service respond fast and react well to suggestions. I am a huge fan of using OneNote for publishing Decisions meetings minutes as I can find all past minutes very fast just by browsing my OneNote. I only received good feedbacks from my colleagues and will continue working with Decisions in the years to come.
Cons
Maybe the possibility to see all meeting held within a Teams or channel even if I wasn't part of that meeting. Since we don't invite the whole 365 Group to all meeting so that could be a problem. Except that nothing comes to my mind.

Good working software
Good, we enjoy the features we use and learning the new ones with planner, we enjoy the fact that we can keep track of upcoming tasks and are able to use the software at anytime during our meetings.
Pros
Keeping track of daily, weekly and monthly work
Cons
We struggle with some issues with special invites (outsiders getting their invite) as well as if we delete a meeting (reoccurring) we lose all information from the prior meetings? Biggest issue is SPELL CHECK not in the software! :-)

Excellent tool for meeting preparation, chairing and followup
Se pros section. It gave us a better meeting structure, more effective meetings and more involvement from participants. As a meeting chair it made my days far more easier.
Pros
We have piloted Decisions as a meeting tool in a very hectic project for a year. It enabled us to have an extremly better structure to our meetings. Nice flow of how to handle agenda items, decision log and tasks for followups and meeting notes. Its integration with Teams makes this a very useful tool for our organization.
Cons
I really don't have any cons, but I seem to need to put at least 40 chars here:)

Decisions makes me manage meetings a lot easier than before
It's easier to share information related to meetings with my team. Processing of tasks and decisions is in fact of strategic importance after we implemented Decisions. It has become much easier to plan meetings together.
Pros
Making agendas. Planning meetings together.
Cons
Some trouble loosing my notes a couple of times. But, my support in Oslo found them easily :-)
Reasons for Choosing Decisions
Decisions were much more user-friendly and clear. We found more functionality that suited us in Decisions.

Fantastic Colloboration Software
Pros
Decisions is an amazing product, extremely well thought out and brings clarity to meetings. Decisions is deeply embedded into the Microsoft Teams ecosystem utilising Planner, Tasks, Office Apps, Meetings etc.. The product provides support for the full meeting lifecycle, planning, documentation, running the meeting, voting, tracking, minutes and follow up tasks. Agenda items can be easily moved between meetings, tasks imported from the planner. Security is very well thought out with data never leaving the customer tenant.
Cons
We ran into some issues with Conditional Access Policies within Ofice 365 blocking agenda items being displayed. This is not a decisions issues but rather an issue with how Microsoft deals with Microsoft Graph requests.

Like it? I LOVE it.
TIME - we have the gift of time back that was forever lost to admin/notes typing.
Pros
The ability to do the MINUTES while in the meeting. This is seriously life-changing for anyone who has ever had to sit through a meeting and take notes, only to type up notes, have them reviewed/amended/reviewed/accepted/shared.
Cons
Probably the price, because our organisation has not made a decision on whether or not they are keeping it!
Reasons for Choosing Decisions
It was gifted to us by our IT manager. I think we had a free trial. I will be lost without it if we do not purchase the software!

Everything in One Place
This has dramatically improved the effectiveness of our meetings and provided a good record of what we addressed and decided.
Pros
Assembles all meeting materials and records in one place. I don't have to dig around in Sharepoint or google docs to find what is needed- the links are there. Also like that decisions can be captured.
Cons
No additions. Very pleased with the product.
