Impressive
We now have everything in one place, which we never had before. instead of emailing 20 attachments to an emailed agenda, people can get it simple and easy every time.
PROSBoard Bookit is very easy and simple to understand and use, for the administrator as well as the regular user. Everything is in one place - works great!
CONSAt times, we have members who have a hard time receiving BB emails. It's usually a problem on their end, but it can be a hassle.

Feature-Rich, Best in Class
Excellent, absolutely excellent. The sales process was terrific, onboarding was phenomenal, ongoing training and support are top-notch, and feature development is continuous. The BoardBookit portal itself is exactly what our Board members and the Board liaison needed, easy to use and feature-rich. The price point is also excellent for our organization, with BoardBookit, onboarding, support, and training included in the annual subscription price. Excellent tool, excellent company.
PROSBoardBookit has top-notch, US-based support 24x7 for admin users and Board Member/end users. All support calls by our organization have been handled excellently. Training sessions are provided by BBi professionals directly to end users, anytime, anywhere. BoardBookit is a women-owned, women-led company whose sole focus is on meeting the needs of Board managers and Board members. The BBi end-user interface is accessible via computer, tablet, or mobile device; our Board members find it easy to access and intuitive to use. Our Board Liaison is able to set up, configure, and administrate BBi without assistance from internal IT support. This is an AMAZING testament to BBi's ease of use and excellent product design.
CONSBoardBookit is always adding and developing features and functionality, their product road map is full of great enhancements. The reporting and survey features are relatively new to BoardBookit, which we are happy to have available. Both surveys and reporting deserve more robust functionality, which I believe is already on the BBi road map.
Reason for choosing Govenda
The features available in BoardBookit met or exceeded our requirements in every category. The alternative products evaluated in our RFP only met a sub-set of criteria in every instance and/or were difficult to administer or use. And the cost of two competitors far outpaced our budget.

Exceptionally easy to use
Even with the con considered, Govenda is an exceptional product that is easy to use. The product is high quality as is customer service.
PROSUploading and managing documents, ease of use by Board members and staff, managing multiple meetings, user access.
CONSHaving a tiered product. When we initially contracted with Govenda, it was a one tier/one price product with enhancements included. Since our onboarding, different tiers and pricing levels have been introduced.

Game Changer
We had looked at different options - password protected portal on website (too cumbersome to keep updated); Google docs (cumbersome, and not easy to manage); Boardable - cost/features were limited
PROSGiven the remote nature of my board members, this tool has proved indispensable! They receive alerts, notices, access to all documents and meeting schedules from any device. Storage of historical documents has saved me so much time in not having to respond to one-off requests. Easy to use/learn.
CONSI would like to be able to have tracking in emails sent/opened; ability to edit offline votes; tasks are cumbersome to enter/manage; esignatures are very limiting -ie: I need one approval, and could be any one of three signers, but requiring all three to sign is cumbersome.
Reasons for switching to Govenda
We were able to use Boardbook it for some time for free (MISS THAT), but as likely designed, we are too entrenched and familiar with the Boardbookit too switch. I certainly hope this was not intentionally, and expect price hikes again.
