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.

ActiveMeetings works well when you want to conduct pre-scheduled meets with a clear agenda and want to get inputs from stakeholders to close things quickly. It's not really so useful for general chit-chat or catchups with teammates as the extra features aren't useful in the scenario. It also has some friction when doing cross-org collaboration.

Pros
Diligent Corporation
  • Easy end-user interface - for boards with maybe less technological experience, the format was very user friendly.
  • Facsimile signature - eliminates trying to coordinate schedules to obtain signatures to written consents.
  • Customer Service - Diligent Boards trained employees, not a call center, available 24/7.

Cons
Diligent Corporation
  • 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.

  • The UI interface could be much cleaner
  • The cost of the software is high considering the value many free softwares provide
  • Not everyone has ActiveMeetings so cross-organization collaboration has some friction

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.

It was the end user interface that ultimately sold me on Diligent Boards. I also appreciated the customer service center being Diligent employees, the high level of security features, and the single username and password for directors with multiple Diligent Boards sites.

ActiveMeetings offers much more power in terms of setting the course for the meeting, getting real-time inputs from stakeholders, and closing things on the go compared to Zoom or Google Meet. However the interface of ActiveMeetings isn't as clean as intuitive as it is with Zoom, and especially with Google Meet.

  • Meetings have become much more meeting with ActiveMeetings prompting for an agenda every time you set a meet
  • You can club all relevant documents for the meet in one single doc which is really useful to avoid clutter and confusion
  • This is still a hindrance when collaborating with people from a different organisation
