Most of the other board meeting solutions we looked into during the selection process lacked key features that we required for our organization. They were not for the entire meeting package and mainly provided an experience for the post-meeting processes. It was not like with …
I had tried many paperless meeting software providers, from the market leaders like Diligent and BoardVantage MeetX, the small players like BoardPaq, and to the midlevel players like BoardPad, BoardEffect, and Azeus Convene... Don't go for BoardPaq and BoardPad! They have lousy …

Chose Diligent Boards
Diligent Boards provides a number of capabilities ranging from security to arranging meetings to distribution of board meeting materials. Although other products also have these capabilities but I would say security is at next level for Diligent Boards which makes it suitable …
Azeus Convene's security and collaboration features can create a great business case to introduce technology to the executive management team for board-related matters, especially if they are currently using a 'pen and paper' system. Would recommend for larger companies / large executive teams with busy schedules that find it difficult to collaborate.
It is very useful for multinational organizations that require secure and easy-to-use board operations. It helps coordinate between different board members. It provides very high-security document sharing options to the users. It really helps organize board meetings in a very effective and strategic manner.
Limited individual training sessions - The only clear and concrete advantage that Diligent has over Convene is that they have unlimited individual user training. But Convene is so intuitive and easy-to-use that you don't usually need to go beyond their free first 4 user/administrator training sessions.
not so easy to handle access when we have to arrange a specific, non-standard set up of access: sometimes we have to limit the access to one or few of the members of a particular book
calendar function will be useful, but it is an additional cost
As previously stated, I applaud how effective the customer service team was during the onboarding process. They communicated effectively and offered around-the-clock assistance. The training sessions are also useful and allow you to learn at your own pace. They are also willing to set up time to discuss any concerns.
As our Board only had confidence in pen-and-paper prior to this implementation, the benefits are obvious (higher security, better collaboration, remote enablement)
Diligent Boards provides a number of capabilities ranging from security to arranging meetings to distribution of board meeting materials. Although other products also have these capabilities but I would say security is at next level for Diligent Boards which makes it suitable for my organisation. Customer support resolved queries quite soon and they are quite knowledgeable.
Market leading and used by some Board members already at other organizations
I like that our documents are stored in a secure place and are easily accessible for the users
I use the software on a PC and most of our users use the software on an iPad. My only criticism would be that i do have concerns of how documents we upload on a PC may appear visually on the users iPads.
