Chose Diligent Boards
None of the other products I have looked at have the ability to link papers across books so they have all been dismissed by me.
Chose Diligent Boards
Our CISO and governance executive explored options and decided Diligent was a good balance of functionality, cost and security.
Chose Diligent Boards
Diligent Boards has superior functionalities to both of these, however, for organisations which have only a few subsidiaries, Diligent may prove too expensive as it is geared towards larger companies.
Chose Diligent Boards
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.
Chose Diligent Boards
BoardPAC doesn't have the same features. And doesn't allow as much functionality as Diligent. We also have Directors who utilise Diligent across the different Boards they sit on, and this allows them to use one application to access all their information, thereby streamlining …
Chose Diligent Boards
This was the first time we've used an app for our board.
Chose Diligent Boards
Diligent Entities is already great, as I used it before Diligent Boards, and it was very helpful and very cost-effective as a product provided to my previous team that used it. So I can only vouch for the platform and note that Diligent Boards is also fantastic. It certainly is.
Chose Diligent Boards
It provides better features than competitors.
Chose Diligent Boards
Diligent now took over them. There seems to be no other product available in the market that offers Boardbooks.
Chose Diligent Boards
While they can be more expensive than other providers. Their product just stands head and tall above the rest. It would be hard to convince our board to move away from Diligent. They are also continuously updating, improving and offering new features and gives the customer …
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 …
Chose Diligent Boards
Boardvantage was in some ways better with the ability to do a global search of a term, security features, and also the ability to edit documents within the portal.
Chose Diligent Boards
I never used or evaluated other product like Diligent Boards.
Chose Diligent Boards
It is not nearly as functional. I do like the feature of being able to edit the document in the portal.
Chose Diligent Boards
Much more user friendly because board portal replicates a binder which Directors are familiar with. Also the 24/7 customer service is reliable and has never let us down!
Chose Diligent Boards
Overall, Diligent was much easier to use. Also, more widely used particularly with our directors who sit on multiple Boards.

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.

  • calendar function will be useful, but it is an additional cost
  • flexible view options: vertical vs. horizontal

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.

Support Rating
Diligent Corporation
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.

Return on Investment
Diligent Corporation
  • 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.
