Always interested to discover more of its features Pros We adopted the NFP version in 2025, which was step up from the old school paper shuffle. It has made for a simpler, more efficient flow of information and meeting management. Cons Nothing specifically. Adoption by the whole board has gone relatively well, despite the typical demographic wariness regarding 'technology'. Review Source GR George R. Chief Executive Chair Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Board Pro Says It All" December 1, 2025 5.0 Very satisfactory - never had a problem with access for multiple entities either as a Governor/Director/Trustee or CEO Pros Secure log in; quick access to folders; timeline approach and record of meetings; not subject to continuous upgrades in comparison to other Governance platforms; ability to store documents in a variety of folders Cons Until I sorted my various entity access protocols i.e. different email addresses for each of my Directorships and Operational roles I had to rely on admin staff providing links to the meeting papers. That is sorted now and I am able to log in directly to each organisation.

Grants Coordinator Philanthropy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thanks for giving us BoardPro :)" May 27, 2026 5.0 It can only be a good one, really excellent system and having run numerous boards in the past using just word and excel, I cannot believe how much time was wasted and doubling up work with no BoardPro in our lives. Painstakingly slow, sometimes very hard to collate all information and really not easy to convene, I used to dread some of these meetings. Not any more, BoardPro kinda does it all... except speak!! Pros I really like how easy it is to use and how intuitively it supports a relatively non-technical user to produce agenda, complete minutes and process all committee requirements. When I've needed to reach out for help, support at BoardPro has been almost immediate and very effective with useful step-by-step instructions to complete the task at hand. Cons I don't think there is anything I don't like, I've now used BoardPro for two totally different organisations and it is awesome, despite their differences. Initially, there is a bit to get used to and sometimes feels like I'm doubling up in making notes but there have been some minor tweaks and I'm getting better at noting too :) Review Source NN Narayan N. Head of Faculty- Technology Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Interface experience" December 9, 2024 3.0 Pros good interface, easy to follow up on actions Cons Bit slower sometimes, also suggest attractive design Review Source LH Lucy H. CFO Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to Learn" December 9, 2025 5.0 I found it very easy to learn and we now have a very smooth Board pack compilation process. The minute taking process is also very good, easy to produce and then easy to confirm in the next meeting pack. Pros Easy to use, easy to load up papers and share information with Board members. Well structured to identify decisions, noting, etc and easy to attach papers. Cons Having to move between agenda and board pack in the checking phase. When I've finished a draft version of the pack being able to download and review the entire pack is not entirely intuitive. Switched from [Diligent Boards](https://www.capterra.com/p/149069/Diligent-Boards/) Diligent was expensive and we needed to find a more cost effective solution. Review Source KH Kelly H. Chair Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive cloud-based Board portal solution" October 2, 2025 5.0 I have found it very intuitive to use. I also find the built in help topics generally helpful. When I have needed further guidance, I have been able to submit my question and get personalised responses. Pros It is easy to create agendas and upload documents. I also really like the flying minute function and ability to create Board only folders. Cons The search function is generally good - it searches within document titles for the whole site, or for keywords within a particular board pack. However I would also love the master search function to search for keywords within documents. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Sharepoint required too much document management and creation by the company secretary Review Source NZ Neda Z. Librarian Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BoarPro - New Zealand" May 22, 2025 5.0 Smooth, easy to use, superb quality and value for money. Excellent platform and software, no issues ever whatsoever, reliable, delivers every time. Pros Excellent platform for managing Board meetings, governance comms and confidential files. It has made my work as a LIANZA Board member much more easier, faster and efficient and BoardPro kept me connected and up to date with all comms and my fellow colleagues. Cons Superb quality of file sharing and editable functionalities, it never failed to provide timely and essentials updates and access to board data and information. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) Team grew in size, larger group of Board members to manage, increased volume of data and reports, need for efficiency. Review Source JM Jackson M. Elected Representative Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Read aloud functionality - recommended " June 8, 2025 4.0 Near excellent, however this could be improved with internal functionality and capability improvement Pros The security portal measures which enables secure access to on-boarding and sensitive documents stored. Cons The restricted access of the security portal, specifically the formatting when docs are stored inside Switched from [Stellar Data Recovery Professional](https://www.capterra.com/p/170163/Stellar-Phoenix-Windows-Data-Recovery/) Multiple integrations an operational staffing recommendation Review Source KV Kathryn V. Executive Director - President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BoardPro: One Year In and Going Strong" December 3, 2024 5.0 It is a lot of work to prepare meaningful board and committee meetings, BoardPro alerts our members in advance, and provide the opportunity for pre-meeting review of supporting documents. When in the board meeting they are able to access the meeting and documents on their laptops, and follow the discussion in real-time. It allows for deeper board engagement, their eyes are no longer glossing over from an abundance of paper packets and content. Pros Ability to organize board meetings with supporting documents for each committee's report. Cons Would like to be able to create a MASTER board meeting or committees' meeting, and then enter a recurring date range, or enter custom dates and have the software duplicate and repeat for the entire calendar year. Alternatives considered [Boardable](https://www.capterra.com/p/221109/Boardable/) Reason for choosing BoardPro We did a comparative analysis of the features, flexibility and the price point and decided to give BoardPro a shot. Review Source JB Johanna B. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BoardPro -- the ONLY affordable Board portal solution" November 26, 2024 5.0 Easy billing, available extras like free continuing education programs on governance, and while they have higher paid programs they do not try to upsell you. Customer support is available through text. Note that they are an Australian company, so there are some word-spelling differences ("organisation" vs "organization") and their regular business hours are not convenient to Americans, but this is a minor inconvenience and actually something I like about them. Pros BoardPro is the most affordable of all the board portal programs. It is a bit more bare-bones than some other programs, but it fits our needs and does so for a fraction of the cost. It keeps tracks of meeting schedules, agendas, and added documents for review. Our Board members are able to access the information for the meetings, and the system sends them reminder notifications automatically. The program works well for us. Cons It is a bit more bare-bones than other software, so aesthetically there are a few things I would change but they are insignificant. The thing that I like least is that there are a couple of programs that are available for an upcharge that I would like to be included in the basic program. The one that I would most like included at the basic rate is the add on that allows Board members to vote online.

HR Director Investment Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HR Director" November 25, 2025 5.0 My overall experience is the fact that it is user friendly, easy to navigate, easy to amend agenda and upload pre-reads. Pros It is efficient and ensure all members to a meeting are informed on changes in the agenda and the meeting pack by a simple click of the publish button. Cons There is nothing that I don't like. The platform is great. Maybe you can add a video conferencing software like MS Teams to be able to join remotely or record a meeting. Review Source SW Samantha W. Non Executive Director Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BoardPro makes governance easy " November 25, 2025 5.0 Positive and easy to keep everything in one place. A good structure helps to minimise duplication of papers and documents. Pros Helpful to have all boards in one portal. Easy to use and record notes and keep everything in one place Cons Need to be connected to the internet to use so can’t use offline so can be used when travelling and no wifi connection is available Review Source TH Trevor H. Body Corporate Chair Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best thing we have done." November 25, 2024 4.0 One of the best things we have done. We are a small not-for-profit whose committee unfortunately tends to have people elected to it from an AGM who don't understand governance and who too easily delve into trivia wasting a lot of time. BoardPro assists greatly in structuring agendas which helps the chair keep people on message. Pros It's simplicity and well structured layout. The generation of documents such as agendas and minutes are just a matter of adding text where needed, the layout template works well. The automatic cross referencing of 'decisions' 'action' & 'notes' makes it easy to do follow ups and have them stored in the appropriate places. We now have our meeting documentation on a screen, no need to print out screeds of paper to take to the meeting. The ability to search on a topic to see previous occurrences of an issue. Cons It's not a matter of not liking something but there are some areas where I would like to see improvements. We use 'Documents' as an archiving or filing system for our key documents, but if you want to edit a document you have to download it back to say word and then upload it again when done. Would be nice to be able to edit a document inside BoardPro. Meeting attendees at say an AGM can't be listed easily, there can be dozens at an AGM. This could be a category labeled 'member' or something similar, with no access rights but can be listed as attendees. You can't go straight to 'documents' upon opening BoardPro, you need to open a meeting first. May have this wrong, but we have a committee chair, but he doesn't always chair the meeting. Can't see how who chaired the meeting can be noted. We usually note this in the Introduction section. Review Source TM Terina M. Board Member Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Board Pro Review" June 26, 2025 5.0 Great, totally recommend. I find board pro, easy to access, navigate my way around. Sourcing of board papers easy. Pros easy access, easy to navigate and intuitive to reading, making notes on board papers, ability to access previous board packs Cons nothing more to say. I am happy with Board pro and would recommend this to other boards to utilise. It is useful Review Source FB Frances B. Board Member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love the free training webinars" October 7, 2025 4.0 Overall, BoardPro delivers a good experience—easy to use, professional, and ideal for nonprofits. It streamlines board processes, improves meeting efficiency, and supports good governance with tools that are both practical and accessible. Pros BoardPro offers exceptional value for money, is easy to use, and provides great free training webinars—making it an ideal solution for charities. Cons Searching for old documents or details can be tricky—BoardPro’s search isn’t always intuitive. It’s very hard to find old minutes, based on word topic search etc Review Source CL Clare L. Trust Administrator Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for charities" December 10, 2024 5.0 As a new user of BoardPro, my experience has been fantastic. I have found it easy to earn and it considerably reduces the time it takes me to put together the agenda and to record meeting minutes and actions. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to simplify their meeting records and maintain consistency. Pros I love how easy it is to plan meetings and record minutes. I also love how BoardPro records who is responsible for actions, then emails them reminders about completing these actions. The layout is easy to edit to suit our needs and easy for the team to read. Cons We are a charity and get the nonprofit rate. It is still of largest subscription expense so it would be nice if the discount was greater. But as BoardPro is so good, we are happy to pay the amount we do. Review Source PS Peter S. General Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "General Manager" August 27, 2025 5.0 We have been using BoardPro for a year now and it provides a formalised system which provides structure for our meetings. Pros This is a fully automated system that saves time and costs in preparing, running and following up on Board Meetings Cons There can be some duplication with reminders, which tend to be repetitive. An open note back to the system would probably help in acknowledging receipt of an action point reminder or limit the number of reminders. Review Source AM Alice M. Board member Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Boardpro Very good" July 31, 2025 4.0 Pros Easily accessable, efficient in working online and ensuring board meetings and board packs are reminded of. Cons Cant always find all of the documents, lots of small different links that aren't easily found because they aren't labelled well. Review Source SG Sue G. General Manager Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BoardPro is a must for any board" October 9, 2024 5.0 At the start I questioned the cost for a NFP entity like ours but I am now sold 10 times over now. Pros The time savings from start to finish. Setting up BoardPro is user friendly and simple. The setting of the agenda is simple. Allocating who is talking to the item is simple. Board Members can look back on previous hui's and docs at their leisure. The task allocations during the hui is amazing along with the follow up reminders. The minutes are taken during the hui which saves a lot of time. The approval of the minutes are seamless. The cost of the app plays for itself with the time savings and accuracy of the minutes. Cons I haven't found anything that I don't like about BoardPro at this stage of our journey. Review Source OL Olivia L. Project Lead Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent even for a medium sized NFP" July 14, 2025 5.0 Great, also when I started I sent a chat through the help chat and got many quick responses and suggestions. Appreciated that heaps. Pros So easy to do minutes live and then edit later. So easy to track everything even if board doesnt use it fully. Easy to centralise communications. Minutes look really nicely laid out. Board pack is excellent - wasn't sure if it had contents, love that it did. Cons When I use a set template to create an agenda, I can't edit parts of that template that don't work for me. I have to delete the whole thing and start again building my own. Not huge, just learnt it the hard way. Review Source JS John S. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great board tool" June 25, 2025 5.0 Pros BoardPro keeps everything in an easy to manage format, allowing for seamless co-working on documents in a secure environment Cons I haven't experienced anything I don't like yet. Having used other portals and platforms for boards, I've seen plenty that I don't like and this isn't one of them. Review Source VK Vanessa K. Executive Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BoardPro for ease and efficiency" December 3, 2024 5.0 I have been using BoardPro for over one year now and having been an executive assistant for many years find this to be an amazing program that saves so much time and effort. Pros Easy to use and keeps all my board documents together in one place. Easy to communicate with board members. Cons Minute preparation is not so flexible and easy to use. Review Source NU Nicole U. Executive Manager Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Really happy we made the move to BoardPro" September 17, 2025 5.0 It has been a huge time saver and documents are safe now that we don't require paper reports anymore. Pros It is interactive, minutes are taken in real time and it is very easy to use. NO paper is huge plus. Cons No capacity for In Committee items yet, but they are working on it. The access levels seem a bit broad, these could be more defined to limit access. Review Source DE Dan E. Chief Executive Officer Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Chief Executive Officer" February 26, 2025 5.0 Seamless, which is essential in my role. Pros Ease of use and navigation makes BoardPro an essential component of our board process. Cons I'd be keen to see our organisation introduce two factor authentication to access BoardPro given the sensitivity of the information it contains. Review Source KT Kohine T. Project Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great easy platform for board/governance support!" November 12, 2024 5.0 Easy to use, great functions. I really enjoy it thank you! Pros It is a great platform for governance support. An easy programme to use with specific functions for governance work. The layout of the menu bar is clear dashboard, meetings/calendar schedule, actions, documents...etc. are all really clear functions helping governance/board meeting support. i really enjoy the easy transfer of info for minute taking, confirming minutes for upcoming meetings and communication with members. it's really easy to use overall Cons To duplicate agenda items into future meetings. For example, I have a scheduled meeting for December and previous agenda items from September I would like to duplicate an item/s for December meeting instead having to re-write it/copy paste etc. I know I can re-create a new meeting and duplicate agenda items that way but it would be great to be able to duplicate specific agenda items AND its content into meetings instead deleting the meeting and starting a new one Also, if there was a way to connect our outlook app to the schedule meeting as an event and inform our members, team. that would be great Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Board Management](https://www.capterra.com/board-management-software/)[Portal](https://www.capterra.com/portal-software/)[Meeting](https://www.capterra.com/meeting-software/)
