Sometimes BB is easy and I very much appreciate that BB has helped me reduce paper.
Sometimes it's frustrating with too many options and with the use words that are not intuitive to me.
Perhaps a menu of steps with links for the appropriate need of each user would be helpful. I do not always find the user's manual helpful at all. If I'm stuck, I'm usually stuck because BB and I have different understanding of the words being used in the program so I don't find my answer anyway. When I appreciate the fact that all pertinent Board documents can be on just one piece of software. This helps me to deliver and maintain information for my board members, both existing members and new members, and to tell them that all of the financials, minutes, bylaws, etc. are in one place.
Loading documents from my desktop and folders is very easy and I am so grateful for this.
If you can speak with a customer service representative, I have found them to be extremely helpful. I have the hardest time publishing the board packet. I slide the button to publish and I think I have emailed the link to my board members to access the packet. Not! I start getting calls the next day from board members asking where the packet is. Since I only publish once a month I forget how to do it from month to month. I understand this may be my limitation and not Board Bookit's fault. However, who would know it's a two-step process? Publish is publish!
I find it difficult to start a new agenda without the board being notified or being asked to confirm the meeting date. This is totally unnecessary in our case as our board has the same exact meeting date every month. How do you bypass these options?
Our bylaws do not provide an option for voting remotely. 
I have suggested to Board Bookit that they should have Board Bookit Lite, a program without all of the bells and whistles of the full blown program. I don't communicate with my board through BB, we use email. No one wants to log in all of the time for updates when emails are quicker and easier to open. 
As an organization with under 50 employees, a board that is busy with their jobs and families and lives, Board Bookit provides all of us an easy way to have a monthly meeting.

Excellent, absolutely excellent. The sales process was terrific, onboarding was phenomenal, ongoing training and support are top-notch, and feature development is continuous. The BoardBookit portal itself is exactly what our Board members and the Board liaison needed, easy to use and feature-rich. The price point is also excellent for our organization, with BoardBookit, onboarding, support, and training included in the annual subscription price. Excellent tool, excellent company. BoardBookit has top-notch, US-based support 24x7 for admin users and Board Member/end users. All support calls by our organization have been handled excellently. 

Training sessions are provided by BBi professionals directly to end users, anytime, anywhere. 

BoardBookit is a women-owned, women-led company whose sole focus is on meeting the needs of Board managers and Board members. 

The BBi end-user interface is accessible via computer, tablet, or mobile device; our Board members find it easy to access and intuitive to use. 

Our Board Liaison is able to set up, configure, and administrate BBi without assistance from internal IT support. This is an AMAZING testament to BBi's ease of use and excellent product design.
 BoardBookit is always adding and developing features and functionality, their product road map is full of great enhancements. The reporting and survey features are relatively new to BoardBookit, which we are happy to have available. Both surveys and reporting deserve more robust functionality, which I believe is already on the BBi road map.

The benefits of using Boardbookit is that:
 1. saving cost on lot of paper as we used to print our board papers
2. saves a lot of time
3. user friendly
4. Board Members are able to access the papers at anytime and anywhere preferable
5. uploading last minute papers isn't a problem now because before we would have to deliver papers to the board members residence around late at night
6. saving cost of tonners
7. makes the compiling and organising of Board Meetings and papers so much easier and efficient. I like that its so easy to use. its so user friendly and makes compiling of Board Papers so easy. I used to print all our board papers and had to manual number the pages and our Board Packages always consist of 350 pages and more and Board Bookie makes my work so much easier by generating the Agenda and numbering all the pages automatically. And the fact that the Board Papers are able to be accessed at any time and anywhere is really awesome:)

It also automatically links the meeting date to outlook which sets as a reminder before the meeting which is really great.

overall, I really love Boardbookit probably the fact that we have to upload everything in PDF form and I usually sometimes have to upload presentations and excels sheets but I would have to save it first in PDF form before uploading.

apart from that I have no further comments
