Diligent Boards vs. Dropbox DocSend

Diligent is pricey, so it is suitable for large-size organizations with sufficient funding. Universities and colleges would be good clients. Diligent is not suitable for small organizations or not-for-profit organizations due to the pricing. There are other options to distribute and share documents, such as Google format, so I think pricing is the key to expand the market for Diligent.

DocSend works really great if you want to send out a doc to a prospect and want to track when they open it and what content they view. The reporting on this works really well and I've been happy with this functionality. Where it falls short is when you're trying to use it for a live demo utilizing the join.me integration. There are a lot of issues when you try to switch your screen and it only works 2/3s the time. I'd prefer an all-in-one solution instead of this Frankenstein model.

• I am using one click, it would be nice to see what board members see
• I mentioned before I would like to be able to sort documents by various parameters like importance, date, type
• Talking to other assistance i find that everyone knows something different about quicker ways to load, maybe a weekly/monthly tip would be beneficial.

• DocSend has a newer feature called Spaces, it lets you place multiple files into a single "deal room". Unfortunately for us, we need it to support nested file structures for larger content sets. Their support team says this is on the way.
• I'd like to be able to change the icons for links add to Space, currently, they're a default icon.
• Navigating the UI is just a bit laborious, it feels like it should be easier to get to link creation since that is what you're doing 90% of the time you go to the site.

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.

Great service!

Quick service, specially on loading.

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.

I haven’t used the support as our internal teams do a great job of fixing and supporting our DocSend use.

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!

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 opportunities to provide feedback.

DocSend is more convenient than DocuSign if you are already using Dropbox, otherwise a lot of these solutions come down to pricing and preference on user interface. For us, DocSend was great until our needs changed to needing a more sophisticated contract management tool. With further integrations and API accesses in the future, I think it will be easier to have all systems communicating and working together .

It is really worth it.

• Ease of dissmeniation and administration of packages (errors can be easily corrected)
• Directors can read packages from anywhere in the world at any time. It makes prep for Dircetors a lot easier
• Keeping records of meetings, doing searches for information has become easier and less time consuming

• For about $100 you can optimize all
• Of your pipelines that rely on decks or documents - worth it!
• The time you’d spend having to send each link to individual clients without tracking is well worth the $100 on the product
• We’ve been able to close our fundraising round and increase partnerships by utilizing DocSend - would recommend!
