BoardEffect a Diligent Brand vs. BoardPad (discontinued)

BoardEffect is well-suited for larger organizations and companies. I think it makes sense for people who have multiple boards, groups, or committees. I don't think it makes sense if it is a small board that doesn't meet frequently and doesn't share documents online. I think there are many features unnecessary for smaller boards/groups.

Everyone is very busy and BoardPad takes the stress away of trying to find all the documents relevant to the meeting. It sends everything to the app, so you can find it straight away on your iPad. Excellent and effective navigation and sets tasks accordingly. Everyone is aware of the actions that [have] been assigned to them. Excellent piece of software that has made meetings more enjoyable.

• Houses all the information needed for meetings.
• Holds all the older information so we can access it if needed.
• It's fairly easy to use for all our members.
• That it is portable is a great bonus!

• Preparation of Board Books (i.e. reports, minutes, resolutions, etc)
• Collaboration before and during Board meetings
• Trusted source to records Board actions

• I would love to see BoardEffect work toward a more integrated collaboration system. For example, we have a master tracking document for recruiting new Trustees. It is helpful for everyone to have editing access to this document so that it can be routinely updated ahead of committee meetings.
• It would be helpful if we could message workroom members through the platform while making the email/message appear as if it came directly from my account.
• It would be useful for members of a workroom to be automatically notified when an event is created.

Great support and customer service.

I gave BoardEffect a Diligent Brand this usability rating because, in my experience, Some features are not as easy to access as others

BoardPAC had similar functionality several years ago, but BoardEffect has caught up. I think the editing feature and the ability to build packets that are not visible are great features of BoardEffect.
