Infra Managed Service Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Document Security and Governance with a Premium Price Tag" May 18, 2026 4.0 Overall, Convene is an exceptional tool for high-level governance and structured meeting management. It successfully solves the problem of securely collaborating on sensitive executive and board documents without risking data leakage. While there is a slight learning curve on the administrative side to configure complex templates and permission tiers, the platform’s high-grade encryption, seamless live page synchronization, and highly responsive 24/7 customer support make it well worth the investment for enterprise compliance. Pros The absolute best feature is its robust security and granular access controls. For an organization handling highly sensitive board-level documents, the platform’s end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and precise permission settings provide excellent governance. Additionally, the live meeting synchronization and annotation features make team collaboration during high-stakes reviews completely seamless, ensuring all stakeholders stay on the same page in real time. Cons The product is quite expensive compared to standard video conferencing software, meaning the value really only makes sense if you absolutely require strict enterprise compliance. Additionally, the navigation can feel rigid when managing multi-tiered agendas, and the platform can occasionally experience performance lag or slower rendering times when handling exceptionally heavy PDF files or complex attachment packages.

My experience with Convene is that, as you attend meetings with other executives, the value for money presented with the tools is invaluable, as navigating these rough waters without them is tough. Leaning to use these tools to keep things safe and secure for the privacy of every member involved is not easy, but very rewarding when considering they're all part of the team, and every member contributes something valuable. Pros Convene allows for effective board management on a lot of areas that need it, such as allowing for sharing multiple documents or sharing votes directly online. By having such a robust selection of features, Convene makes meetings much more engaging for all board members present. Cons Customer support can vary from time to time, as contacting the support team when things go wrong can sometimes be delayed when you need help, and technical problems are always at the forefront.

Business Development Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convene is the best board meeting in the market" April 23, 2024 5.0 It is best board meeting software in the marked Pros It is available on cloud and on premise Easy integration with internal software like mail server and LDAP Easy of use It has high security Cover lifecycle of the meeting Very good support from direct from vendor Cons Price structure in not convicing particularly in low income countries Review Source AS Anne S.

L. Founder | President Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rich features and intuitive. Saves you at least 40% compared to BoardVantage and Diligent" March 29, 2016 4.0 Being President at SELC Pro LLC, as part of my consulting, I was sometimes asked to give recommendations to nonprofits and medium-level companies on what board portal provider would be the best for their internal and strategic operations. I had tried many paperless meeting software providers, from the market leaders like Diligent and BoardVantage MeetX, the small players like BoardPaq, and to the midlevel players like BoardPad, BoardEffect, and Azeus Convene... Don't go for BoardPaq and BoardPad! They have lousy features and lousier support. BoardEffect is so-so. Diligent and BoardVantage is good, as long as you have money to burn. Convene is a hidden gem. It has as rich features, aesthetics, and intuitive interface as BoardVantage and Diligent, while costing at least 40% less. It's a clear winner for those who are practical. You have no idea how much it means for nonprofits, charities, and value-conscious companies and organizations to have a solution as good, yet as reachable, as Convene. Pros Convene is a hidden gem. It has as rich features, aesthetics, and intuitive interface as BoardVantage and Diligent, while costing at least 40% less! It's a clear winner for those who are value-conscious. Cons Limited end-user and administrator training sessions. The only clear and concrete advantage that Diligent has over Convene is that they have unlimited individual user training. However, Convene is so intuitive and easy-to-use that you don't need to go beyond their free first 4 user/administrator training sessions. Review Source Response from Azeus Systems Holdings Ltd. July 4, 2021 Thank you for the honest review Sara! We're happy that Convene has really helped your organization to hold better paperless meetings. We take pride that Convene offers something different compared to other providers in the market. JA Jonathan A. Finance Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convene Review" July 28, 2023 4.0 It helped us to go paperless for Board meetings and saved a lot of admin time printing, collating and posting Board packs ahead of meetings. Pros Easy to set up meetings, upload documents, add attendees etcMuch reduced paperwork and associated administration Cons We tend to use a paper agenda still as the electronic papers move in a linear fashion and you don't know what's coming up next until you move on to it.I would like to see a feature that countdowns the time allocated for each agenda item that you can see while moving through the papers in a particular section. Reason for choosing Convene It was recommended by another supplier Review Source Response from Azeus Systems Holdings Ltd. August 30, 2023 Hi Jonathan!

Governance Officer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Moving to Convene from paper based meetings has been a huge success!" July 2, 2018 5.0 time - thereby saving money! Pros Very easy to use Convene is more than just a meeting portal - it's a great resource for sharing publications/documents and electronically reviewing and approving documents without the need to have separate meetings for these. Functions available in this app are great - including combining all meeting papers into one pack. Support is second to none - 24/7 and very accommodating. Overall, Convene has been extremely cost-effective and offers far more functionality in comparison to others we have trialled and has been great asset to us in Governance! Cons Nothing major at all that is negative about this software. A couple of small areas that could be introduced over time, and we understand that as the software is evolving, Convene can be further refined. Review Source Response from Azeus Systems Holdings Ltd.

Pros Presentation of the meeting was perfect Cons I did not use the typing of comments, minutes at the time of the meeting, since I found it quite difficult to present the meeting and keep minutes on the pc on the same time.

KL Kathryn L. Governance Officer Museums and Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Extremely positive experience from first contact to introducing and using the software" May 10, 2018 5.0 Cost and time savings - not having to produce paper copies for meetings; users receive papers instantly instead of waiting for the post; published papers can be replaced easily etc. Greater flexibility - easier to carry an ipad than heavy packs of papers; papers for previous meetings are all in one place so easily accessible. Pros Very easy to use as an administrator and user. The software is very intuitive and, despite some initial resistance to moving to paperless meetings (myself included!) I've not had any negative comments from users and some are keen to extend use within their own departments. I'm told by those who use other packages that it compares very well with other more expensive software and is very good value for money. Support from Convene has been excellent with a friendly, supportive account manager who is quick to respond to any queries and who is very good at explaining things. Cons There isn't anything I don't like about this software. There are one or two small things which could be improved but I understand the software is constantly being refined and Convene are keen to explore suggestions.

The support is excellent, always on top of everything. Cons Our company using GSuite for email calendar drive etc, perhaps can look something to integrate better with Google.

Corporate Secretary Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Convenient and professional meeting assistant " January 22, 2020 5.0 Time-saving and convenient to use for the Board members as well as for a meeting secretary Pros Such features as the possibility to make notes in the document and share comments with other attendees make it very easy for the Board members to share their opinions beforehand. From the administrator’s perspective, the app makes it easier to update the meeting materials as the app notifies the users regarding the update automatically. We are also very impressed by the customer support provided by Azeus Convine. Cons The only inconvenience we encountered while using the app is with excel files. The App automatically transforms the files into pdf file for an easier use, however if the excel file is very big and contains large amount of data on each sheet, it is a bit difficult to transform excel file into a pdf file. Review Source Response from Azeus Systems Holdings Ltd. July 4, 2021 Thank you for using Convene! We are glad to hear that your meeting processes are becoming more productive and efficient for the board. We understand that viewing excel files with large amounts of data might cause an inconvenience, we recommend that you may convert your .xlsx. files to a .pdf file prior to uploading them in Convene for better formating.
