    I think the levels of permissions are great and help make sure that only those who need admin level access have what they need to make meetings run smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Govenda is very easy to use. During initial implementation they helped us create templates that could be reused. They have 24/7 support and are super responsive to any questions or inquiries we have. The application works across all platforms and is easy to manage as far as uploading documents, users & committees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Govenda has been easy to implement, and our Board members have embraced the new technology. Our meetings are more streamlined and meaningful with improved accessibility. It is exciting that we no longer have paper board books that were hundreds of pages long. Participants can make notes to themselves for questions later, and they can make notes that are public to the meeting attendees to prompt discussion. Annotations assist with making sure the board members can follow along with the conversation easily. The opportunity for the board members to view documents as they are uploaded instead of waiting for a board book has provided the ability for the board to have more time to review the information, so they are well prepared for any decisions or votes. The new dashboard for administrative users is a fantastic feature. It puts all the info I need into one place to track and review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Colors and fonts. Great if you are twenty with good vision. Not so great for the rest of us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    In my opinion, the interface can be somewhat clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    It can be clunky and limited in its scope. For example, I often will have two sets of minutes for one board meeting (one for the board only and one that is published to the community). But I am only allowed to save one minutes document within the agenda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    BoardBookit was purchased to support the Board of Directors for our non-profit organization. Prior to BoardBookit, we use to pay a consultant to manually compile board packages using Adobe Acrobat. There were some issues doing it manually--error resolution, ease of use, large file sizes, etc. Now that we use BoardBookit, my entire board knows where to get the information they need. Before the board meetings, they can review and annotate the files. During the board meetings, they can follow along on their devices without having to dig through a paper package that is normally hundreds of pages long. BoardBookit now is also used by board committees, advisory committees, and the school site council. Next year, we hope to transition our PTSA to using BoardBookit.

    Overall: 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.

    Overall: Overall, Govenda has been responsive to our requests and has been available to support our needs when we've asked for such support. The software is good software that does what it advertises well. It does have some weaknesses, but it's well positioned within the competitive marketplace of portals that we considered.
