Overall Satisfaction with OnBoard Board Management Software

OnBoard Board Management Software has allowed our small nonprofit to continue to be member led by our board and committees during the pandemic. Although we had planned to switch to OnBoard Board Management Software before the pandemic, mainly to eliminate the need for so many emails and paper copies of board and committee materials being mailed around, since the pandemic, OnBoard Board Management Software has allowed for our meetings to be conducted virtually up to and including board votes on resolutions and budgets.
  • Virtual voting
  • Virtual meetings with Zoom integration
  • Housing of all board books and meeting calendars in one place with integration with Outlook Calendar
  • The Zoom functionality isn't the same as the full Zoom suite, such as Zoom Conference
  • The file system isn't as easy to move files around in and some file types aren't supported
  • It is expensive to bring in large volumes of users
  • Seamless integration of the board book, calendar, slides and supplementary materials for meetings.
  • Robust file system for background materials
  • Nice calendar function where you can go back and follow a meeting after it occurred
  • It's helped maintain board and committee involvement in the nonprofit since the start of COVID
  • It has allowed our meetings to go virtual with little effect on workflow
  • It allows us to better track needed association materials than we have in the past
We did our software comparison before the pandemic, so we might view things differently now. But for us, the customer service at OnBoard was the best and we thought it would likely be the best for our board, which has many people on it who aren't very IT savvy.

It works well for a small nonprofit with an active board and committees. You can build board books and committee materials in the software package for everyone to see, including the PowerPoint slides and supplementary materials in Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. Unfortunately, it is expensive for large volumes of users, so it isn't appropriate for full member usage or for allowing members to have access to documents.
