    We had a meeting and after the meeting, additional information was added to the book and it was easy to navigate just the information that was update. This made it efficient when we had a follow-up meeting to discuss the updates and be able to reference the updated information. This allowed us to have an effective meeting with a purpose.

    The app is quite versatile - as for me, I've been using it at work for some time and can't say that the problems that I have listed affect the general impression of the platform. Apart from using it at work, DottedSign is also pretty good for personal tasks, if you have to sign something on the go and so on. It's great for keeping track of the entire signing process and making sure everybody is on the same page with the help of reminders and such.

    Pros
    Diligent Corporation
    • The confidential sandbox is a must, and Diligent Boards provides that environment. Most of the info we put on the diligent board is not downloadable and printable.
    • It is very easy to make notes, highlights important info and bookmark pages. I used these functions all the time.
    • Its excellent organization features.

    • Of course DottedSign isn't the first one to show how convenient e-signatures are, but in my opinion the creators really nailed it because it's both easy-to-use and also pleasant to work with due to the nice and intuitive interface and truly helpful tools.
    • Another point I'd like to make is the reminders feature is really nice - anyone who hasn't yet signed their part gets an email notification to speed them along.
    • Another thing that I like that there's no need to contact customer support to figure anything out - just download the app and get going.

    Cons
    Diligent Corporation
    • 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

    • Well, the synchronization feature isn't perfect - when you log in into your account on the browser version, for instance, you need to wait for a couple of minutes to load a file that you have already loaded in the app.
    • Apart from that, the platform doesn't allow you to rotate blank windows to add a date or signatures and sometimes documents are scanned upside down, and you have to edit them subsequently, which is time consuming.

    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.

    Usability
    Diligent Corporation
    Again, it is a very easy program to use. What would I change… There’s some features in the agenda that I would like to have. The ability to add different bullets underneath items. the ability to do an AYE vote. Because sometimes they don’t individually vote, my superintendent or School Board chair will say I’ll say hi or I’ll say, and it would be really nice to have a button that automatically fills for that.

    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.

    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.

    eversign wasn't quite as good because of how the interface was designed. I don't think that for a software with such simple features the interface should be so piled on. While DottedSign's interface is one of its strongest features.

    • I think after we started using DottedSign at our company, we're achieving our goals a little faster due to less time being spent on traveling to meet clients and so on, and with the process being more streamlined, it's easier. to pay attention to other parts that might have been neglected before.
    • We got a bit more new clients in the last quarter, but it might be due to different reasons, but I think DottedSign played a part.
    • Also, having all the newly signed contracts digitized and available on the cloud gives us a peace of mind.
