Putting the Easy in Easy Board

Great customer service, easy to use, easy to afford!

PROS

Easy, affordable, aesthetic without being complicated, and no add-ons or "upgrade to unlock" features.

CONS

The only thing I wish it had was compatibility with Zoom and Google Calendar, but I believe one or both of those features are being added shortly!

Reason for choosing Easy Board

Affordability, features, no pricing per user or per committee, simple set up, great customer service, free trial period.

Reasons for switching to Easy Board

OnBoard was expensive, charged per user, included many "upgrade to unlock" features, was overly complex to navigate, required many expensive add-ons for specific features, and forced us to pay an entire year for an add-on we had requested to be removed within the "upgrade window." Since I requested the change during our official "renewal meeting" instead of doing so in writing, they pretended that I had not made the request.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the opportunity to serve your organization! Yes, we are constantly listening to customer feedback and improving Easy Board based on input like yours. ☺️ Your comments and referrals are greatly appreciated!

Great tool for small to mid size non profit

Great! It make our Board meetings easier to manage. Thumbs up from BookSpring.

PROS

Our Board of Directors found it really easy to access and navigate. It's super simple so that even if you're not in there everyday, you can remember how to get around and find things. I like that it sets up roles by committees and groups. The even feeds down like a social media platform, most current at top. At first that was confusing but we got used to it fast. The sharing to calendars, Google Docs, and Zoom link integrations work well. Log in is intutive and forgiving.

CONS

Our only issue is that after a few years, our document library is getting a little cluttered. It would be helpful to have some kind of archiving or sub folder option, but basically, we put our archives in our official cloud accounts. This tool is best for managing muliple working groups in real time, not as a document repository.

Reason for choosing Easy Board

Better value and easier to use, no contract.

Reasons for switching to Easy Board

It was too hard to share with those who didn't our couldn't access Google.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your review, Emily! We're glad you've found Easy Board valuable for your board. Curious: have you tried using folders within library sections to keep your library clean? We rolled this out about a year or so ago, so I just wanted to make sure you knew we that we have sub folders available. We appreciate you!

A smooth transition to a board management software

It has been an overall positive experience.

PROS

Easy Board is user friendly and the single sign on capabilities has made the utilization stronger from our board members. It has been an accessible "hub" for board members to access board materials and announcements. The way admin can send announcements or messages directly from the platform and have notifications be sent to user emails is really helpful.

CONS

We have not utilized the library feature as much as we'd like to due to the format and organization of it. It would be a very useful area for Easy Board to improve.

Reason for choosing Easy Board

Pricing and the simple features were a good fit for our board.

Vendor Response

UPDATE: the library now has sub-folders. We would be grateful for your updated review/feedback on this! We're glad we've been able to provide a user-friendly hub for your board. Thanks Sarah!

Easy Board Lives Up to Its Name

It's hard to imagine a more aptly named product. If your primary goal is to make running Board Meetings and distributing Board documentation easier, this is the product for you. It does not include documentation authoring tools, but why would you need them to be included when Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and all the other such tools are readily available and excel at what they are there for? While Easy Board is clearly targeted at nonprofits (since we don't typically have the funds available to implement the larger, costlier Board products on the market), I would easily recommend this to for-profit organizations as well if the goal is to simply simplify your Board Meeting management without a lot of muss and fuss. The learning curve is unbelievably short, and this product is approachable to even the most technologically challenged individuals. Furthermore, the implementation and administration efforts are equally simple. Availability of staff for setup and issue resolution is top-notch. Easy Board is a full-featured product that does EXACTLY what it promises to do: make managing Board Meetings Easy.

PROS

It lives up to its name and doesn't promise anything it can't deliver. It truly is the easiest Board Meeting Management software I have worked with, and I have worked with many across the cost/feature spectrum. The company didn't promise anything it couldn't deliver.

CONS

I wouldn't call this a con per se, but if I had to identify one feature that would add the most value, it would be the availability of a mobile app for those Board Members accessing from a tablet. The website is full-featured, so we're not losing anything, but I think that would be the most value-added feature they could add right now.

Reason for choosing Easy Board

Cost versus value. It was important that I find a tool that meets my minimum needs at an affordable price, and both requirements were exceeded.

Vendor Response

Elliott, Thanks for your kind words and detailed feedback! We are always looking for ways to continue improving and greatly appreciate your comments.

Ease of Use

100% compliance/use by members. Because of the design, our Board adopted the platform without much trouble at all. I have recommended to other nonprofits seeking a simple, effective solution.

PROS

We balanced cost vs. requirements and Easy Board won hands-down. It almost seemed too good to be true. But it has met expectations.

CONS

The platform addressed all our requirements which focused on simplicity and ease of use.

Reason for choosing Easy Board

The truth is, Easy Board understood our issues and approached us with honesty and integrity. They specifically addressed our critical needs. They understood and accepted they did not have some features others offered but had confidence in what they are good at - which is exactly what we needed.

Vendor Response

Thank you John! If you ever have any questions, ideas, or issues, reach out to support and we would be happy to help.
