BoardSpot Reviews
Pros
I really like Board spot, the layout is nice and easy to folloSetting your agendavery convenient.
The software is very user friendly. Onboarding was effective and vital.
Its been a great experience and I would recommend it for other uses.
I really enjoy the ability to share documents and track meeting dates/times.
Cons
After using all of the functions of this program I am not certain that I was able to logout of the web sight due to the lack of directions for doing so.
None that I have seen, It is sometimes hard to pull up information and to get on Zoom.
The only feature that might be missing and could be added is an automatic follow-up reminder for committee and board meetings.
There isn't a feature that hasn't served us well to date.

"Great for Nonprofits"
Overall: Overall, we have loved BoardSpot and I have adopted it as the board management software that I use for several of the boards that I sit on.
Pros: I love using BoardSpot to simplify the management of documents related to board business. Our team is small and finding an affordable yet comprehensive platform has made managing the board of directors much easier.
Cons: As of right now, we have not found anything we do not like. We have requested that the platform add a connection to Slack or provide an in-house discussion platform.

"Great platform and phenomenal customer service. "
Overall: The best "feature" BoardSpot has is their customer service team. They are amazing. Very responsive, really listen to our feedback, and always offer solutions to any issue that arises. We are excited about this new relationship!
Pros: BoardSpot is easy to set up and easy to use. Most all functions are very self explanatory. It's features are competitive with many much higher priced options.
Cons: The portal seems a bit new so I think some features that may be useful are still in the works or coming very soon.

"Great tools to keep the Board informed"
Overall: So far so good! All my expectations have been met and the upgrades have been really good. Looking forward to seeing more optionalities.
Pros: it keeps my board in the know and current with all documents. I have one upload and they can come look at the documents or past minutes/agendas anytime.
Cons: Would be nice to have a collaboration site. This would enable the board to add ideas and chat about certain topics.

"Our Community Foundation uses BoardSpot!"
Overall: Our board has used it for just over 2 yrs now; what a relief to have everything current and past stored in one location and easy to find.
Pros: Someone else created the perfect program for {perhaps} inexperienced and/or volunteer boards that makes it easy for everyone to use.
Cons: I do not have any "dislikes" about BoardSpot. I appreciate this tool that is handy for a volunteer board member.

"Review of Boardspot"

"New to BoardSpot"
Pros: Our nonprofit board is better able to focus on our work, organize documents, and coordinate meetings.

"Finally!"
Pros: An easy-to-use, user-friendly platform to keep track of all important board information -- members, contacts, committees, documents -- in a way that is simple and appropriately accessible for everyone. I love this tool and we've only just begun to use it. It has already saved me so much time. Plus, the customer service -- sales, onboarding, and responsiveness to questions -- has been outstanding.
Cons: The only down side I had initially -- the lack of an integrated Zoom link -- has been addressed since we joined. So far, I don't have anything I don't like!

"A Great Solution for Smaller Organizations"
Overall: We hope that our use of BoardSpot allows us to provide lighter board meeting packages by putting more cyclical elements on the porta.

Cons: I wish it would go right to the "Board of Directors" page when one logs in.

"From a User's POV"
Overall: As a relatively new Trustee to this institution, it is so efficient for whatever you may need for a current meeting as well as documents that have been created in the past that may be referred to by others.
Pros: I love that all docs, agendas, minutes and calendars are easily accessible. Also, that everyone's contact information is easily available. Having everything in one place that it easy to navigate makes pre meeting preparation a breeze. No more searching through tons of emails to acquire all of the docs needed.
Cons: Great product. Nothing to complain about...
