(1-25 of 39)Lighten your workload!
- Outstanding 24:7 Customer Service
- Easy to use/intuitive design
- Eliminates the need for paper copies
- Has voting function for consent items
- Still clunky with Excel spreadsheets that have multiple tabs. I find I have to pdf these files before uploading to Diligent.
Paralegal Point of View
- Organization
- Ease of use
- Function
- Improve user access
- Adding the ability to share with auditors would be a great option
- Price could be improved
Diligent Boards for Boards
- Repository
- Customer Service
- Global search term ability
- Ability to edit documents on Diligent Boards
Easy to use
Diligent provides secure and confidential distribution of the materials.
I also manage the contract with Diligent Boards: conduct RFP process and manage annual payments.
- to post documents and be flexible with updating
- to share documents in the Resources section
- easy to view as a user
- 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
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.
Diligent gives me the confidence to post Secure documents with a user friendly platform
- Ease of building books
- Security features
- Support
- Resource Center needs some work
- I would like to see additional resources for different types of applications
- I would like to have a better guide on using Diligent for new users
Diligent is a Great product that saves SO MUCH TIME!! Never create hard copy books ever again!
- Love the ease of creating Board and Committee Meeting materials
- Love the D&O Questionnaire module
- Love the ability to retrieve and review archived materials
- Maybe available - I just don't know - the ability to see the emails sent to Directors and/or officers when sending materials through the portal after the materials are sent
- Would like to be able to see who has looked at the materials
- Would like to have the ability to notarize electronically in the portal
- Would like the ability to make edits in my document in the board book portal - not just upload a newly revised document
review
- Manages books
- Keeps board members engaged during meetings
- D&O is easy to use and efficient.
- The web functions need to mirror the oneclick functions
- Getting your service team to respond to issues in a timely manner has been a problem for us.
- The multi factor log-on requirement was not an easy process
- Support should be able to provide consistent and reliable assistance.
trusted product
- limitless volume
- ease of loading and access
- options in the platform for books, resource materials, evaluations
- inability to link in WebAdmin within documents in the Resource Centre
- links are lost when exporting documents in WebAdmin
- loading documents in Resource Centre not entirely intuitive
may be cost prohibitive for a very small board
Be Diligent! Use Diligent Boards!!
- Customer support is second to none
- Ease of use
- I currently use one click as I like the functionality of importing a word agenda and being able to link. I know there is an updated version but sometimes new is not always better! Please keep one click!
Highly Recommend Diligent as a Secure Board Portal
- Provides a secure board portal that Board Directors and Management can use to access confidential meeting materials
- Provides excellent customer support 24/7
- Boards is extremely user friendly and easy to use
- Also being used for Management meetings
- Would like to see a copy feature in Diligent Messenger so that I don't have to retype Diligent Messenger messages sent to me that I need to share with others
- Would like to see search function in all formats - web, iPad, Android
Choose Diligent!
- I love the functionality of being able to move documents from one location to another.
- The Board members love to take notes right on the board packet.
- The ease of labeling sections and adding documents is priceless.
- Adding documents from Google docs without converting to a pdf.
Honest Review of Diligent
- Response time to questions and calls is very good.
- It is very easy to put a board book together.
- They are always asking if you want to add on new functions without informing you of the additional costs until the very end.
- I think there should be a one sheet explanation of the services you offer and cost.
- I have attended several of the online courses and they assume you are using the newest platform and I use One Click.
Great Product
- Ease of uploading of documents
- Customer Support
- Overall user friendly and east of use
- moving documents between tabs is a big issue that could be resolved
- While we are a large user, it would be helpful to allow larger organization more control (i.e., add and remove users)
Great product and Excellent Service
- Security
- Ease of use
- Product support
- Customer support
- The ability to enable account feature without contacting Account manager (example Adding date and time stamp to signatures)
- Have all the functionality available in the One-Click application available in the Web admin.
Delightful Diligent Boards
- Very easy to navigate
- allows for secure processing of Board materials
- very efficient, quick and professional customer service
- There is a new feature where you have to confirm uploading of documents which causes you to have to log out of the folder where you are pulling documents from which causes extra steps. It used to be that you could just go down the agenda topics and continue to pull documents without having to close and reopen the folder you are pulling documents from.
The best BoD and AC repository
The only thing that has given me some trouble is when I have tried to substitute some parts of the material, and it does not allow me to do so. I do not know if it has any implication in the counselors annotations whether I substitute or not the material.
- Easy to find
- Shortcuts
- Archive
- Uploading more than 1 file at the time
Happy with Diligent
- Structure of Levels and Tabs
- Ease of uploading documents
- Quick Links
- My only example will be that the web base version does not have the ease of one-click and items are most often hard to find and maneuver.
Diligent Boards is Worth a Try
- Upload documents quickly
- Renumbers agenda when additional line items are added
- Easily restricts sensitive documents
- Uploading signature could be better. Right now its very restrictive on the size.
I can always count on Diligent Boards.
- Easy to use both from an administrative perspective and from an end user prospective.
- Stores historical information that both the legal department and the end user can utilize when needed.
- Provides a secure way to share this information.
- It would be nice when using the link functionality that you had a preview screen. The Web version currently does not have this capability.
- It would be nice if we could archive resource documents similar to how books are archived.
- If the product was more cost effective, we would be able to expand it to other users that prepare board materials but don't necessarily attend the board meetings.
New user.

- Ease of use - very intuitive - minimum training needs.

- Easy way of preparing the agenda with the support materials for the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

Greta service!
- availability of the information
- uploading means
- control information
- organization of the information
Diligent Boards Review
- The creation of the files, the agenda and everything related to the uploading of Board documentation.
- Has different access profiles to the documentation and they are very detailed
- The minutes drafting could include more validation sections.
- It would be nice if people who are not in Diligent could receive notifications of decisions made in the Board (for example the accounts were approved)
- For the administrator, it would be great to be able to see how a specific director sees the documentation that has been uploaded (so it could be verified 100% that they see it as the administrator wants it to be)
- 24 hrs. support.
- They usually listen to suggestions and work on them.
- They speak my own language.
- Same functionality and appearance no matter the device used to work with Diligent Boards (App vs web, laptop, tablet, iphone, android ...).
- Questionnaires - I've found it is not possible to send reminders from Diligent Boards.
- Votes: it is not possible to have more than 1 issue to vote. Either you vote all your issues for or against, there is no other possibility available. If we have more than one decision to make, we use questionnaires because the vote function is no useful in such cases. Questionnaires are ok but they demand more work and follow up.
Saved us During Pandemic!
- Easy to create book with subtitles and links
- Easy to create pdf from the material
- If I have issues I always get help from the support
- I like that I am offered training if I need to update my knowledge
- 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.
