(1-25 of 27)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
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
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)
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.
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.
- communication
- training
- user-friendly
- Diligent could offer practice runs for board meetings.
- Specialists could be on call for board meeting postings.
- Diligent could offer a community board to answer questions in real-time.
Great service!
- availability of the information
- uploading means
- control information
- organization of the information
- 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.
Diligent Review
- Reports control
- Dissemination of strategic information
- Historical information repository
- Slight complexity of use
- It would be nice to have a more user-friendly and intuitive interface
- Make it easier to manage permissions for users and information consultants
Likewise, the support and help service so far has been excellent, they always attend us in a timely manner, with a very good attitude helping us to solve our doubts.
- simplifies the user experience
- allows for an authentic touch and feel
- admin user friendly
- provides a straight forward way of completing the task
- Logging and monitoring of user accounts and threat detection/intrusion
- Account lockout after "x" failed attempts to log in which requires admin intervention
- compartmentalized environment, preventing users from downloading items to their local device
Security at it's Best
- Access to the documents
- Storage of the documents
- Security of the documents
Great application, easy to use!
- Automate with technology
- Provide continuity
- Saves previous versions
- Allows for change within seasons
- Easy to utilize both creators & presenters
- Linking within the application would be helpful
- Formatting options would be nice
- Multi-user access, like with Google sheets would be preferred
- Fast
- User-friendly
- Has an excellent customer support
- There is some kind of information in the votation process that is overexposed
- There is no connectivity with excel or SAP
Diligent Boards is No.1!
- Easy to create a new 'book' or copy from an existing book
- Easy to upload papers including replacing/deleting
- Very good to be able to restrict access on certain papers within book
- Extremely beneficial for Users to access their account via the Web
- Some new features require the Customer Success Manager/Diligent Team to activate them first, which can be time consuming and can result in delays in having these, especially when the features were outlined in a webinar a few months prior. For example, the self-service function.
- It would be good to have access to our contract within our account so I can keep track of the amount of contracted Users and whether we have exceeded our limit
Diligent is a perfect name for this product!
- Makes organizing easier
- Helps keep documents confidential without bunches of email
- The prefill manager works particularly well in the questionnaire section
- Formatting in the questionnaire needs improvement. I end up with different fonts and sizes for some reason. Wish there was a way to universally change the font. It's tedious going into each question individually.
- Sub questions and making questions contingent is a bit clunky. Could use some improvement
Strong Product Overall
- Boards has done a wonderful job with providing ease of uploading materials and editing capabilities.
- Boards has made adding and deleting users quite simple and effective.
- Please, please add the ability to download pdfs with links on your online Boards platform. It is the only thing keeping me from using the online version of Boards entirely.
- Boards support team is fairly helpful, though I feel like I am often having to resolve a bit more on my own even after "solutions" are provided. Boards support is, though, way more effective than Diligent Entities support- we have had a horrendous time with Entities support each time we use them. It is easier to try to resolve on my own, even though it takes up a lot of my time.
Diligent - excellent!
- Builds books
- Allows manipulation and reordering of books
- Agenda creation
- Voting
- Diligent changes the order of multiple uploaded documents, which can be frustrating
- Annotations - being able to add pages or documents into a book after publication and where annotations have been added by users - this would be REALLY useful for us as it happens quite often. The key would be to be able to attach annotations to a particular location and ensure they remain with the relevant text/page.
