Great for Nonprofits
Overall, we have loved BoardSpot and I have adopted it as the board management software that I use for several of the boards that I sit on.
PROSI love using BoardSpot to simplify the management of documents related to board business. Our team is small and finding an affordable yet comprehensive platform has made managing the board of directors much easier.
CONSAs of right now, we have not found anything we do not like. We have requested that the platform add a connection to Slack or provide an in-house discussion platform.
Reason for choosing BoardSpot
The simplicity of use combined with the pricing was the selling point for me. There is no more affordable platform with similar usability.
Vendor Response
Thank you, Turner. We appreciate this positive feedback and are honored to serve your organization with an affordable yet powerful tool!

Great tools to keep the Board informed
So far so good! All my expectations have been met and the upgrades have been really good. Looking forward to seeing more optionalities.
PROSit keeps my board in the know and current with all documents. I have one upload and they can come look at the documents or past minutes/agendas anytime.
CONSWould be nice to have a collaboration site. This would enable the board to add ideas and chat about certain topics.
Vendor Response
Thanks for this great feedback and the feature suggestion. I have sent your collaboration tool idea to the team. So glad our recent releases have improved the portal for you and your board.

Great platform and phenomenal customer service.
The best "feature" BoardSpot has is their customer service team. They are amazing. Very responsive, really listen to our feedback, and always offer solutions to any issue that arises. We are excited about this new relationship!
PROSBoardSpot is easy to set up and easy to use. Most all functions are very self explanatory. It's features are competitive with many much higher priced options.
CONSThe portal seems a bit new so I think some features that may be useful are still in the works or coming very soon.
Reasons for switching to BoardSpot
On Board had become unaffordable to our organization.
Vendor Response
We really appreciate hearing that you have had an easy time setting up your portal, and that our team has earned your trust. We are honored to partner with your organization!

New to BoardSpot
Our nonprofit board is better able to focus on our work, organize documents, and coordinate meetings.
CONSIt's excellent for our nonprofit board; I only wish our church (with a much smaller budget) could afford to use it.
Vendor Response
John, so glad your board service has been improved with BoardSpot. Since day one we have had a grant program for organizations with smaller budgets. Please contact us and we can talk about options for your church as well!

Our Community Foundation uses BoardSpot!
Our board has used it for just over 2 yrs now; what a relief to have everything current and past stored in one location and easy to find.
PROSSomeone else created the perfect program for {perhaps} inexperienced and/or volunteer boards that makes it easy for everyone to use.
CONSI do not have any "dislikes" about BoardSpot. I appreciate this tool that is handy for a volunteer board member.
Vendor Response
We want to ensure that every nonprofit has the tools to govern effectively and get things done easily. Thanks for this feedback!

Finally!
An easy-to-use, user-friendly platform to keep track of all important board information -- members, contacts, committees, documents -- in a way that is simple and appropriately accessible for everyone. I love this tool and we've only just begun to use it. It has already saved me so much time. Plus, the customer service -- sales, onboarding, and responsiveness to questions -- has been outstanding.
CONSThe only down side I had initially -- the lack of an integrated Zoom link -- has been addressed since we joined. So far, I don't have anything I don't like!
Vendor Response
Saved you time! That's music to our ears! And we appreciate knowing our customer service has met your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to write this out.

Review of Boardspot
Having everything (board bios, documents, meeting/event calendars and zoom links, etc.) available in one place takes much of the nuisance out of being a trustee
CONSI can't think of anything I'd add at this point.

Our mission is to help nonprofit boards focus on impact rather than administrative tasks. Happy to hear we are doing that for you!

A Great Solution for Smaller Organizations
We hope that our use of BoardSpot allows us to provide lighter board meeting packages by putting more cyclical elements on the porta.
PROSWe like that it is fairly intuitive. It was easy to set up, and the price is reasonable for a smaller nonprofit organization such as ours.
CONSI wish it would go right to the "Board of Directors" page when one logs in.
Vendor Response
Thanks, Dennis! Our meeting packets and document storage are intended to provide exactly that, as well as quick and easy meeting setup, meeting invitations, and agenda/meeting packet creation. So glad you are finding value in your portal!

From a User's POV
As a relatively new Trustee to this institution, it is so efficient for whatever you may need for a current meeting as well as documents that have been created in the past that may be referred to by others.
PROSI love that all docs, agendas, minutes and calendars are easily accessible. Also, that everyone's contact information is easily available. Having everything in one place that it easy to navigate makes pre meeting preparation a breeze. No more searching through tons of emails to acquire all of the docs needed.
CONSGreat product. Nothing to complain about...
Vendor Response
Thank you, Janet, for sharing from your Trustee point of view. You are who we made this portal for! And I am delighted that we can help make your service easier and more efficient, so you can focus on getting things done - not searching your inbox!
