BoardPad (discontinued) vs. Diligent Boards

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.

I'm pretty sure I've given a description of this in one of my prior answers, but I would like to give a further note of my example that this is well suited for board pack production for our board meetings, specifically in relation to the PLC board meetings we hold regularly within the company function.

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

• Customer service is great. if any of the built resources are not sufficient to resolve a challenge, reaching out to Diligent, there is always someone ready to assist till a challenge is resolved
• Assistance is readily available at any given time
• Diligent is progressive, always creating ways to ease how we do work

Incentivized

• Needs time to configure but well worth it in the end.

• 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
• flexible view options: vertical vs. horizontal

Great support and customer service.

We find the Boards portal to be an effective tool for our board meeting documents. It is user friendly and allows for amendments, additions as needed without compromising documents that have already been uploaded. Additionally, our Board members are comfortable with the platform and confident in their ability to navigate it.

Because it is extremely user friendly and you don't have to be a technical genius to use the product

Great service!

Quick service, specially on loading.

The turnaround time is great, and the customer support team usually resolves queries in one go. However, customer support can improve by suggesting additional helpful activities to improve user experience, rather than limiting it to the specific requests made. Overall, it has been a positive experience with the customer support team.

The training was executed through a Deligent meber.

The training offerings are much better than they used to be 5 years ago. Kudos to that!

We have reviewed all credible products in the market as we prepare to exit our diligent relationship. Although some products were stronger than others, I would have chosen any one of them over Diligent. They are all lower cost and better.

It is really worth it.

• Meetings are more streamlined.
• Improved accountability.
• Quick and easy annotations function has saved massive amount of staff time.

Incentivized

• Diligent has improved the time spent on training new board members as the app is user-friendly and self-explanatory, especially for IT-savvy Directors.
• The app has cut down the cost of sending notifications to directors on material added on the app, as directors automatically receive notifications as soon as material is available.
