### "Organize Board Communications & Power-Up Board Meetings"

June 18, 2020

5.0

Fabulous company; you can always get someone on the phone and speak directly to a product manager who can resolve your issues. They are responsive, friendly, professional, and quick.

Pros

Boardbookit has really helped me to centralize my board communication, our documents (financial statements, board packets, reports), attendance taking, poll taking, and more. You are able to easily assign user permissions, organize users into committees, assemble multiple documents into a printable PDF, and more. I especially like that you can deactivate users without deleting them—ideal if your organization has board members that rotate-off when termed-out, but return the subsequent year. The mobile app on iOS is fantastic; even better than the website itself. Our board is always ready and prepared when they come to meetings, thanks to BoardBookit!

Cons

I've encountered a few bugs, but every time I write to Boardbookit about them, they correct them or find me a workaround. I don't have any complaints about the software at all.

Google Drive doesn't offer the document or account security. Dropbox is only for files, but doesn't have agenda or attendance features.

### "Enjoyable Experience Using Govenda"

July 2, 2024

5.0

My experience has been most enjoyable. The system was easy to learn and always user friendly. Customer service is awesome and readily available.

Pros

It's user friendliness most of all. We have Board members who have been totally on board for hard copies only. Once we introduced Govenda and they have seen the easy access, 24 hours, and its user friendliness, our turn around for sending out hard copies has decreased. You can imagine the down time for administering this task!

Cons

My dislike is a matter of preference. I would like the option of setting margins block style.

Fine - don't have anything to compare to because this is the first time I am part of a Board.

### "Govenda Software Review"

May 14, 2024

4.0

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.

Pros

The ability to take votes, store them, and provide them later during audits is an important aspect for our business. The software is easy to use and intuitive in its setup. Ultimately, it's a good solution for our use at a price point that is reasonable compared to some other options we explored.

Cons

The inability to have multiple file formats can be a challenge. We record video/audio presentations to allow board members or other leaders in our organization to pre-position meeting content with an explained way. The lack of ability to upload and replay videos is a noticeable weakness and something that limits Govenda's use within our organization. We'd likely expand the software use more if this feature was available.

### "Working well for a 12-member board"

September 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

Keeps everything in one place, securely. I particularly like that, e.g. access to committee meeting agendas or related documents are automatically restricted to committee members. BoardBookit has good functions for managing meeting agendas, and new ones like votes, polls, and tasks have been added since we started using the product.

Cons

There are two functions I would like to see added or adjusted. One is that there is no way to post a link individually or in a group, e.g. to share relevant articles with board members, or to link to a shared Google doc or drive. Links must be added to a document and then posted. The second is that for ease of management, ability to write notes on, etc., all uploaded/posted documents including Excel files are converted to pdf format. But sometimes I want to securely share other types of files with the board, e.g. financials in a spreadsheet to be manipulated by other committee or board members.

Alternatives considered

[Diligent Boards](https://www.capterra.com/p/149069/Diligent-Boards/)

Reason for choosing Govenda

We had been trying to use a Google Site, but it really wasn't tailored or featured enough for board use, just a series of folders. We looked at Diligent Boards which a consultant had recommended, and BoardBookit, which one of our independent directors had used and liked on another board. BoardBookit offered most of what Diligent had, but with better price/performance than Diligent Boards - we are a small company with a relatively limited set of needs.

### "Govenda Review 2022"

August 23, 2022

5.0

Great

Pros

User friendly and effective. It is easy to add and delete documents. I like that users outside of the administrator isn't prompted by all notices when changes are made.

Cons

My Board members have a problem suggesting amendments and making notes on documents. I suggest a box option to add comments to minutes and documents and a share options so it can be seen and or accessed by members

### "Feature-Rich, Best in Class"

June 24, 2020

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reason for choosing Govenda

The features available in BoardBookit met or exceeded our requirements in every category. The alternative products evaluated in our RFP only met a sub-set of criteria in every instance and/or were difficult to administer or use. And the cost of two competitors far outpaced our budget.

### "Excellent value for the price"

September 30, 2019

5.0

This has been an excellent way to streamline our governance operations and keep sensitive documents secure.

Pros

This software does an excellent job at providing a high amount of functionality with an intuitive interface, on both the user-facing end and on the admin-facing end. This is very important because many of our users are late adopters to technology. The designers of the software clearly had a keen understanding of their audience and what their needs are. This software meets our basic needs and at a fair price.

Cons

The software's functionality is, in many ways, "silo-ed." So, for instance, if you upload a document to one area of the board portal, you also have to upload it to every other place you'd like for it to appear. In other words, you can't effectively link to or refer to information stored on different parts of the portal. Also, we have two affiliate companies under an umbrella company -- there's no real way on the portal to delineate this on the portal; it is primarily set up for one sole organization.

[BoardEffect](https://www.capterra.com/p/151082/BoardEffect/)[OnBoard](https://www.capterra.com/p/179015/OnBoard-Board-Portal/)

Reason for choosing Govenda

They offered the right blend of functionality and value for the price point exceeding the functionality of others at a similar price point or lower. To gain more functionality, we would have had to pay 3-5 times the price.

### "Game Changer"

June 17, 2020

5.0

We had looked at different options - password protected portal on website (too cumbersome to keep updated); Google docs (cumbersome, and not easy to manage); Boardable - cost/features were limited

Pros

Given the remote nature of my board members, this tool has proved indispensable! They receive alerts, notices, access to all documents and meeting schedules from any device. Storage of historical documents has saved me so much time in not having to respond to one-off requests. Easy to use/learn.

Cons

I would like to be able to have tracking in emails sent/opened; ability to edit offline votes; tasks are cumbersome to enter/manage; esignatures are very limiting -ie: I need one approval, and could be any one of three signers, but requiring all three to sign is cumbersome.

Switched from

[Boardable](https://www.capterra.com/p/221109/Boardable/)

We were able to use Boardbook it for some time for free (MISS THAT), but as likely designed, we are too entrenched and familiar with the Boardbookit too switch. I certainly hope this was not intentionally, and expect price hikes again.

### "Easy to Learn and Use"

May 9, 2019

5.0

We don't have paid staff to help administer board activities to managing board activities would be very burdensome to board members to handle such work. Our board is all volunteers to it's important we make it easy for them. And Board Bookit helps us to achieve that goal.

Pros

Non-profit boards often have members who are reluctant to let go of the old ways - namely paper. The greatest thing about BoardBookit is that it's so, so easy to learn and use. Our less digitally-savvy board members picked it up so quickly and, initially reluctant, now love it. The 24/7 customer care is also great.

Cons

I'm struggling to think of anything. Every new release brings new useful features, so if pressed to come up with some negatives, I suppose bringing out new features faster.

September 8, 2022

5.0

It has been excellent!

Pros

Non-profit boards are often heavy-laden volunteers trying to keep an organization going strong. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] helps the board function professionally and keep records clean. The platform prompts boards to move through an agenda, post minutes and keep things moving along in an organized manner.

Cons

It really is fantastic other than a few tweaks!

Reason for choosing Govenda

We really liked the committees features to help our small schools function like big schools.

### "Govenda Review "

August 12, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like how user friendly the software is. I also like how I can manage users, and lock the settings on specific documents to ensure what users have access to view the document. I also really like the ability to include a note in the communication that is sent when changes are made, prior to the communication being shared with the recipient(s).

Cons

When the system glitches (agenda items don't save after typing, attachments don't load into the agenda, the import function doesn't work properly), it is a big hinderance and doesn't offer much flexibility. This rarely happens, but when it has happened it has been very frustrating due to the high level of importance of the work that is completed in the site.

### "BoardBookit Review"

May 10, 2019

4.0

So far, it's mostly good. We are all still learning the ins and outs of it, but as an administrator, I think it is good.

Pros

I like that as an administrator I have the option to sign in as just a user so I can see what they see. I also like that I can create different roles for committee members based on their function within the committee. I also like that it restricts users from creating multiple accounts by using different email addresses. They have to create their log-in information using the email address we have and then they can change it. As a large trade association with over 33,000 members, this makes it easier to keep track of usage.

Cons

I think it is a little confusing for members based on if they use a mobile device or laptop/computer to log-in. The way things look in the app are different than they way the appear on a computer. Also, I don't like that the initial email inviting members to join may sometimes go to the junk folder.

### "Streamlined my Process & made users happy"

May 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

We have been using BoardBookit shortly after it came out. Prior to using BoardBookit, we created paper agendas w/accompanying documents which were FedExed to our Board. So much paper and time is saved. The Board likes using it, I like using it. I love that all the documents are now automatically archived and easy to find. We can fine tune the agenda until the last minute since we don't have to mail it anymore. I also like that the company is continually improving the product and customer service, which we rarely need because it is so easy to use, is always available.

Cons

In the beginning there were some hitches, better now.

### "Happy Customer"

May 14, 2019

5.0

The customer service is phenomenal! Each time I have a concern or question, they respond within minutes. We like the product so much that we just signed a contract for another three years. I also love the confidentiality the portal provides.

Pros

It is a web-driven software that offers efficient and confidential communication with our board members. Once a user is established, I don't have to coach anyone on how to use the software. We love the confidentiality the software provides to our sensitive communications. It is also easy to add or delete members and set them up in different groups. If a communication needs to go to just one particular group, I can merely select that group, and only that group will have access to the communication. Agendas and board meeting books are easy to set up for any confidential documents that need to be available prior to any meeting. As Administrator of our account, I can also look at the web portal as a user; this is helpful because the user screen is slightly different than the Administrator screen.

Cons

I can't think of any cons. I've raised two concerns with Board Book It, and they immediately addressed them so the cons don't exist anymore.

Govenda is an easy-to-use platform that helps to keep meeting agendas and materials organized!

### "Simple and easy to use"

June 22, 2020

4.0

We previously collated all the board and committee papers in a shared folder , then printed them all off. This was not the best use of staff time and resources. As per our procurement policy, we had quotes and demonstrations from 3 companies. BoardBookit was the best value for money for our organisation together with ease of use and the excellent customer service, it was a simple business decision to make. Once on-board, we still receive excellent customer service and regular contact, and even as we are in the UK, the response rate to emails etc. are exceptional.

Pros

The easy to use platform has been well received from both staff and Trustees of our Charity, we are a mix of of all ages and IT knowledgeable. BoardBookit is easy to use and has the resources that we can share with users to make their joining experience simple.

Cons

I find it hard to detail any cons. As we have not used anything like this previously, it is difficult to even compare.

### "Govenda Review"

August 11, 2022

5.0

Pros

The quick link is helpful and how it arranges the presentation material in order of how we plan our agenda which helps executives from having to look up which presentation material is being used next.

Cons

When adding separate points to the agenda, each presentation topic only allows one document to be added. Sometimes for each presentation topics, teams might have two separate items they want to present for the topic. And Govenda doesnt allow us to enter 2 documents for 1 topic and we have to waste our time combining the documents so we can add it to the specific agenda topic.

August 16, 2022

Hi Lamisah, thank you for taking the time to write a review of Govenda! Agendas have the option to create sub-items which would allow for multiple documents under one main topic.

### "Save Time, Save Paper - Go BoardBookit"

May 6, 2019

5.0

Overall my experience has been greatly enhanced and allowed me to assist members and others in accessing the site. I have received calls from other organizations who have showed interest in using the site after hearing about us using it.

Pros

Gives us Secretariat the ability to digitally manage and document meeting papers without having to go through the manual process of printing, binding and distribution. it allows papers to be accessed from anywhere and saves us not only time and money but as well as the environment from printing large meeting folders.

Cons

There is nothing that I would say I dislike about the site. I'm still learning my way through it as well. Perhaps just a recommendation - if a field can be created where we can assign the department who is submitting for reporting purposes. This allows us to extract all papers submitted by a department or by function in a year. Pardon my ignorance if this is already available.

Pros

This was the first board management software that the NPA had used so the primary benefit was over not having had any functionality before and manually producing board books.

### "New to BoardBookit"

May 3, 2019

5.0

We have really cut cost and labor time with not having to make packets.

Pros

This product is so easy to navigate. I love the electronic signature function as well. Started using that too! I love the feature of automatic meeting reminders as well.

Cons

I wish that you could customize the admin features. For example, make one user an admin for certain committees but can still add users and new committees as well. Also, to be able to turn off printing and downloading documents only for a certain meeting versus all of them.

Reason for choosing Govenda

Admin was already using it so we decided to use it too.

### "Review of BoardBookit"

September 30, 2019

5.0

We work within the Indigenous Communities and have our board members from Northern California to Alaska. It is very easy to keep in contact with all of them. It's nice to easily drop something in with immediate access if I missed something. Overall, this software makes life so much easier and helps me be the hero in the end. Always a successful meeting thanks to BoardBookit.

Pros

It is easy to manage and very user friendly. It did not take long for me learn how to navigate. Love it as it makes my job so much easier!

Cons

The only thing I can think of is putting in a link. I can't just add it, I have to put it in word and then attach it.

Reason for choosing Govenda

This product was already being utilized when I started in my position. Couldn't imagine using anything else.

### "No Hassle Set-up"

October 8, 2019

5.0

It has been great for our quarterly Board Meetings. I can go in and pull data from past reports. Duplication is easy, I don't have to re-create the report set-up for the next meeting, its already there for me to edit for upcoming meetings.

Pros

I love BoardBookit because it eliminates the hassle of having to set up a meeting packet. its very easy to fill-in and download, then distribute. Its also very easy to edit and delete information.

Cons

I really don't have any. the first time I used it, I was never confused with the steps or how to maneuver through the various sections.

Reason for choosing Govenda

The person to whom I report to directly thought that this products best suit the needs for a small entity as well as being very easy to use.
