Executive Assistant for the Director of Administrative Services Dept. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Simbli to enter system policies and read our Board meeting minutes." December 11, 2017 5.0 The software makes it easy to find information that I need to do my job efficiently. Pros The software is very easy to navigate and the Help feature is comprehensive and easy as well. I can always count on Sandy V. to return calls or emails if I am having any problems. Review Source AJ Abby J. Consult Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly recommend " December 17, 2024 5.0 Very helpful and creates a singular space for our workplace to develop plans Pros I liked being able to build agendas and manage meeting in one space. It’s helpful in that aspect. Cons The built in page editor could use some improvement. It can create errors at times Review Source AC Ada C. Administrative Asst. to Superintendent Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Eboards looks good in our webpage and the technical team and webinars are commendable. C" December 7, 2017 3.0 We can keep all of our meetings organized in one app and publish the link in many different places. Pros The look, how easy it is to create a new meeting, the front page with pictures and information looks good on our webpage. I think the support team is great and one of my favorite features is clicking the help button and getting help right away. The user manual is also very helpful. Cons There is too much clicking . The formatting of text on the edit tool is not user friendly. It should be easy like a Microsoft program. Instead I have to learn code just to format an item. Minutes are cumbersome as I have to click item by item . I have many recurrent items month after month that I have to retype because I can't import minutes from a prior meeting. I have to reformat Agendas and Minutes in Microsoft Word. I could never use a PDF Agenda created with SIMBLI - formatting never looks good. I am not able to download all of the attachments at the same time - I can download the meeting then go back in each folder and grab the attachment. SIMBLI consumes too much of my time for items that should be faster and easier. Review Source SL Susan L. Board Secretary Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exceptional Product, Even Better Service" July 6, 2017 5.0 Simbli helps us save time and money. It helps automate the routine tasks we do everyday, increasing both efficiency and effectiveness. Now that we've been using it, I'm not sure we could ever go back! Pros Our board loves the fact that Simbli helps us with all of our board management needs including meetings, planning, policies, and evaluations. We've actually managed to eliminate several other software platforms we invested in and helps us keep all of our data and information in one, central location. We had a party when we took our massive board policy binders and dumped them in the trash! We also love the support eBOARDsolutions provides. I've never met a more helpful bunch of folks. They routinely go above and beyond to provide free training and support that comes with the purchase of the product. They often say that the measure of a product is how much it actually gets used and the support team has made sure we get the most out of the product each and every day. Cons While they do have a dedicated iPad app which is brilliant, it would be helpful if they also had a dedicated app for Android as well. You can easily access the software via a browser on any device but it may be easier for those who have something other than an iPad. Review Source cD cynthia D. Executive Secretary/Parent Mentor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We have utilized this program at least 8 years. I like having this program." December 11, 2017 5.0 everything in one place pull up documents from years ago less paper on my desk board members and other administrators can utilize this program to see all the work being done Pros I like a place that everything can be together. We can put every meeting in our district in one place. I like being able to pull up an old contract, see when the schools have had a leadership meeting, etc. I like that documents are uploaded too. I love the new features with the minutes. This is a great help. Cons Sometimes it is hard to search for things, if you do not know exactly how you put that in. There isn't anything wrong with the program, it is like that with word too. I am happy with the new features that help me a lot with finding the meetings and the overall help with the minutes. That really needed to be improved! Review Source AR Andy R. Board Development Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One-Stop-Shop for Board Governance" October 25, 2016 5.0 SImbli is a fantastic product that allows helps facilitate all of our board governance needs in a single, easy to use application. GSBA has been using the application for almost a decade and we've been tremendously pleased with the products, services, and exceptional support the eBOARDsolutions Team provides. Highly recommend! Pros I like the fact that the software is completely integrated, allowing me to link items like policies and evaluations to board meeting agendas. There's tremendous flexibility with the software and it help us reduce both the time and expense associated with preparing for, conducting, and managing meetings. Cons None Review Source MH Michael H. Senior Tech Support Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Eboard has been a great change for our old "book style" board meetings" May 27, 2018 5.0 Pros We were able to completely move to an electronic Board Meeting from the old Pen and Paper solution. We are able to save a TON of paper, because our Board Members required a set of papers for their home and for the meeting, then we had to re-print everything on larger pages for our Minutes Book. It has saved tons of time and money! Cons We had some issues with setting up our templates for the board meetings due to the way our old templates were setup. This is not a problem with the software, persay, it is more a problem with the way that we did things. I would, however, prefer a way to setup a custom template with %field% names to be able to drop into specific places in the template. Review Source Response from eBOARDsolutions June 1, 2018 Thanks for your review, Michael - very much appreciated! JB Jan B.

July 10, 2017 5.0 The main benefit that I get from this software is that it is searchable, very user-friendly, and it keeps everything neat and organized in one location. I can complete board minutes quickly, and never have to retype the same information repeatedly. Pros Simbi is very user-friendly. I like that I am able to make additions/changes in seconds. I no longer have to make a printed board packet and deliver them to board members. I just click a few buttons and board members can see their agenda information.

July 10, 2017 5.0 Pros I use the Meetings Module in Simbli to prepare monthly Board of Education meetings. It is absolutely seamless. Access to individual agenda items may be assigned to appropriate staff members with ease. Supporting documents are easily imported. All of the Simbli modules are very intuitive. The search feature is helpful for referencing past meetings. When it's time to publish the agenda I do so with confidence, knowing that everything I needed was there from the start to create a flawless meeting.

Last minutes changes and additions to the Board agenda can easily be accommodated and the Board has immediate access to review the changes. eBOARDsolutions has always been readily available providing support and training when needed. Cons This product is a robust tool, but seems to be tailored specifically for the school system making some of the features less functional for our Library purposes.

December 7, 2017 5.0 An efficient way to see, monitor, control meetings and the use of policies is also wonderful! Pros The simplicity of this and the customer service and knowledge they have. I like the help section with videos also. Cons The meeting listings- would like a default to be able to set for certain people. Our board members don't want to have to find their meetings, I have showed them meeting type so they can select but they forget. Wish I could default their meetings under user admin.

December 7, 2017 5.0 It saves trees. :) The software is much more efficient. It's easily revised. It frees me from creating almost 20 notebooks for every board meeting! That in itself would make me a user! Pros The thing I like most about using Simbli is the ability to import documents and share meetings with other users.
