Boardable is set up so that remote participants can view all meeting documentation whenever they want. It allows them to view documents while they are being presented and before and after. With these documents available at all times, there is no need to display them on the screen as with other meeting software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating agendas and attaching documents. Being able to change things at the last hour and board members still have access to real time documents. That it houses everything that the board needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service. Seems like when i need an answer i have to wait. It would be helpful to have a person you can call. I had major issues over the holiday break and was messaging folks on new years day (it was a hassle and yes helpful BUT my questions took days to be cleared up) which i thought was unacceptable. ALso we were kicked not for non payment which I was never notified about JUST closed the account and that for our university council was unacceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I understand we joined Boardable at the earlier stages in the company's development and have a favorable pricing structure compared the current tiers. As we would enjoy the features of Spotlight, Board Meeting packets, and added number of members, the pricing jump to that level may be financially challenging to sustain.

I dislike that there are limited features on my end. While I'm happy they dont have to click through may fields, I'd love the ability to take more control and modify the aspects of each page. It's very rigid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked that the board meeting agenda and minutes could all be integrated with an easy to tick to do list.

Boardable has been an amazing company with whom we've collaborated. Their employees have been incredibly helpful in getting the product set up and will be a part of getting our board members acclimated to the software.

Excited about the ease of use, videos for training users at their convenience, and the features that will make it a go-to resource for us.

Prior to signing up with Boardable, all Board-related documentation was being disseminated by email, creating a real security risk with the sensitive information contained within. Boardable provides us with a very cost-effective solution to eliminating the security concern while also providing us with the most important organizational tools required to manage board proceedings.

We use Boardable as an important board management tool to schedule meetings, organize documents, start discussions, and maintain an up-to-date people directory. Boardable offers a ‘one-stop shop’ for all of the information we need and helps make board members more effective in their fiduciary roles for the Foundation. The Boardable tool has offered five key results for us: 1) time savings; 2) streamlined agenda building; 3) more accountability; 4) access anywhere; and 5) better virtual and in-person meetings.
Streamlined agenda building: Instead of spending time sending emails and attachments, I can easily build and share an Agenda with documents appended to specific agenda items. This keeps everyone organized and informed. Accountability: I can see when board members log into the platform and keep track of who has read which content for increased transparency and accountability. Real-time edits and updates: As things change or need to be added to an agenda, I can easily make edits and share these changes with board members. I can send them an email on the platform to remind them of new documents or information related to the board meeting.

We use it for our complete volunteer platform/portal. We use a significant portion of the product to help with: Meetings - the product allows us to poll for best dates and times, schedule meetings, build agendas with board packets, and take minutes, and the best part is easily integrated with Zoom. The poll function allows us to conduct easy and secure voting for our board members. The document section allows us to have a central location for all corporate documents the Board needs to have access to.

Meeting scheduling can be wonky with polling for a date A lot of the most valuable features are at a higher price point beyond the basic package. Opportunity to improve the minutes builder

Boardable has coordinated the restructuring of our Board and made it easier for our Board to meet and become more engaged during the pandemic. We now see the value in using a management platform to keep us organized and productive. I highly recommend to non-profit Boards to consider using Boardable if their goal is to expand the engagement and effectiveness of their Board of Directors.
Spotlight bandwidth--our organization has a large board (26 members) and we encountered video issues at large meetings. In all fairness to Boardable, this was prior to the latest Spotlight upgrade as well as some of the issues had to do with users not following recommendations and/or not having a strong internet connection. You cannot deposit completed minutes directly into the document center. As it stands, once a meeting's minutes are published the minutes stay with the meeting then are stored on the "Past" meeting page. It would be nice to have the option to save the minutes directly to the document center for that particular board mtg or committee meeting. Sending notice of published meeting minutes to people who were not included in the original meeting. It would be ideal to allow all board members to receive published meeting notes to review who may not be associated with that group.

Support is currently offered through a ticketing system, so it does sometimes require an understanding that there may be a delay in getting a response. Security features in place are adequate, but I would like to see some form of higher security compliance, such as SOC II or ISO27001.

As a consultant who works with several nonprofits at a time, I really needed a way to stop the email madness. Too many of the boards I work with struggle with being responsive to each other and I am more and more convinced that the problem is more related to email than to people being too busy or over committed. Once it is built out, Boardable has everything a person needs to fulfill their board obligations in one location. It is well-organized and attractive to look at, allowing the board member to focus on their responsibility itself, rather than on just all the time generating and answering email. I convinced two of my boards to try it and it took quite a bit of effort to get everyone past their resistance and using the system, but with leadership from those who were eager to learn, we eventually got it working well. Another thing we had to do was to project the Boardable screen on the wall in the boardroom so others could follow along that way. Two thumbs up for the customer service team. They were delightful in chats, phone calls and trainings. Very helpful.

Prior to using Boardable, our organization had disparate file storage systems and multiple channels of communication. This negatively impacted our ability to operate efficiently, and collect and analyze data. Additionally, every year we have changes on our Board of Directors (people phasing in and out). This meant information was sometimes lost, and we were consistently re-inventing the wheel. Boardable has allowed us to create sustainability for our organization, be more organized and efficient, collaborate more efficiently, and (most importantly) have a greater impact in our community.

Our Board didn't previously have a place to go to see all its documents, and now it does. It's simpler and easier than sending out so many emails...and we were able to cancel two software subscriptions (Basecamp and Zoom) that were made redundant thanks to Boardable. So, overall, we're saving money by implementing this tool!

I have been very happy with the customer support I receive which is timely and helpful. Overall, this product has worked much better for our organization that the previous platforms we have used. It is well worth the money for the ease of use and personalized customer support that you receive.

My experience to date has been great. The platform is very intuitive and very easy to use. The members also expressed gratitude with having the platform. The ease and simplicity of the platform keeps the Board Members engaged. That is the goal.

Using Boardable is much more cost effective than mailing out board packets that tend to be large. I really enjoy it on the administrative end but am still working on board members taking advantage of the ease of this software.
