Easy board collaboration" May 3, 2024 5.0 From coming from an in house sharepoint disaster it was nice to find something that everyone could use from the start with minimal training. Pros The interface is easy enough for board members to navigate it on their own. Support has been very responsive. Cons If I had to nit pick, the way boardable default displays .pdf's is not to my liking. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) It was clunky, not user friendly and caused more issues than it solved. Review Source Response from Boardable May 21, 2024 Stephen, Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you found Boardable easy to use and that our support team has been responsive. We understand the importance of having a user-friendly interface, especially coming from a challenging SharePoint experience. Regarding the PDF display, we appreciate your input and are always looking for ways to improve. Your feedback helps us refine our platform to better meet the needs of all our users. Thank you for choosing Boardable. We’re glad to be part of your journey towards better board collaboration and efficiency. Cathy A.

Too many of the boards I work with struggle with being responsive to each other and I am more and more convinced that the problem is more related to email than to people being too busy or over committed. Once it is built out, Boardable has everything a person needs to fulfill their board obligations in one location. It is well-organized and attractive to look at, allowing the board member to focus on their responsibility itself, rather than on just all the time generating and answering email. I convinced two of my boards to try it and it took quite a bit of effort to get everyone past their resistance and using the system, but with leadership from those who were eager to learn, we eventually got it working well. Another thing we had to do was to project the Boardable screen on the wall in the boardroom so others could follow along that way. Two thumbs up for the customer service team. They were delightful in chats, phone calls and trainings. Very helpful. Pros Boardable is a web portal designed to support the governance function of nonprofit boards of directors. By logging in, a board member can find all of their documents, prepare for meetings, engage in between-meeting discussions, co-write documents, assign tasks, schedule meetings and events and more. It is all in one location and very well organized. Cons Getting everyone from the team to log in, take some training, and start using it. Some people still resist, which creates extra work for everyone. I do not know what the software makers could do to improve this. Reason for choosing Boardable Price, ease of use. Can't convince people who are part of small nonprofits to go with a large expensive system when they don't yet even really understand what it does. Boardable is right-sized for small nonprofits. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Trello is not designed to support board governance. We were retrofitting it to make it work. Review Source Response from Boardable May 19, 2021 Cathy, thank you for your review! We are happy to hear we've helped centralize all your documents and items needed for your organization. Thank you for your suggestions as we're always looking for ways to improve our platform! Thank you for being a great partner. - Leslie from Boardable MF Martin F. Board Member Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A terrible cancellation experience" December 10, 2025 3.0 Our biggest issue with Boardable came when we decided not to renew. Boardable requires 30 days’ notice of cancellation before your subscription runs out, so be wary. Your renewal date is at least 30 days before your actual renewal date. Additionally, our subscription increased 20.5% year over year, though Boardable did not mention it. If you don't compare it to your previous year's subscription, you will be blind to the increase. Boardable's renewal policy seems inconsistent with good-faith renewal provisions. Pros Boardable was our first Board Management tool and we found it helpful. It was great to pull together an Agenda and have all the supporting documents in one place. Minute taking was a breeze before the AI minutes. Cons Boardable is pricey for Canadian Charities, given that it must be paid in US funds. (1) The video functionality was spotty. (2) Minutes were not searchable within the program. (3) There was no record of decisions or one place to have all our minutes. We found processes to be very clunky. Review Source VC Vanessa C. Sales Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Best Board Management Tool. " March 17, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with this tool is great. The too is easy to use so scheduling meeting and collaboration of members is excellent. I like that this tool helps the board members work more efficiently which has led to high productivity in the company. Pros Boardable has great features that that gives value for our money. It makes board management easy and efficient which promotes to high productivity as board members are able to collaborate with efficiency. The tool is very easy to navigate so new users do not need much team to navigate. Cons Boardable has been an excellent tool in board management for the company. I do not have any dislikes on this tool.

Looks great on the screen. Cons I wish it was easier to scroll through each attached agenda item without having to create a PDF booklet. Minor thing though.

Associate Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Looks good, handles well, and has great customer support" November 12, 2020 5.0 Our Board didn't previously have a place to go to see all its documents, and now it does. It's simpler and easier than sending out so many emails...and we were able to cancel two software subscriptions (Basecamp and Zoom) that were made redundant thanks to Boardable. So, overall, we're saving money by implementing this tool! Pros The price is great, it looks and feels really simple and lovely, and the company is obviously interested in feedback and improving the product. Cons There are a few quirks to the software, like there's no internal back button and the beta version of the video conference software only works in Chrome! But for the most part it works really well, and anything that I do get confused about is easy to problem-solve with their available support folks and customer service rep.

It's a relatively new company, and I think they're doing a great job. Review Source Response from Boardable November 17, 2020 Karen, thank you so much for your thoughtful review, and welcome to the Boardable community! I'm so glad to hear that you found the customer support team friendly and helpful -- we think they're rockstars too. I'll share all your suggestions with the entire team, and look forward to working together. - Samantha, Director of Customer Success TB Tonia B.

Pros we can have internal and external users in one place. all documentation and schedules can be in one place for everyone to review. Cons It took some time to figure out how to navigate the site. The learning curve was a bit challenging but we did overcome this. Review Source TA Todd A. Systems Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thumbs Up!" July 28, 2025 4.0 Overall our experience has been very favorable, I believe it has helped to improve the engagement of our board and has been a good tool. Pros The process of making an agenda and sending out invites is effortless, love the template option to make creating recurring events easy. Cons It is sometimes slow to load a large board packet. It is not a huge issue but it does cause some confusion for new users. Review Source KB Khaoula B. Acoounts Manager Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Boardable Makes Board Management Easy and Productive. " July 24, 2025 5.0 Boardable has been an intuitive tool that supports board management with efficiency especially before, during and after meetings. It is very easy to use, reliable and efficient. It allows our company to have a collaborative and transparent leadership. Pros Boardable is very user friendly. It that allows our board members conduct all meetings with ease to keep the company functional and productive. It is very easy to learn how to use this tool. I also like the task tracking and follow-up capabilities in this tool. It helps ensure all discussed agenda is completed on time. Cons Boardable is great seamless tool. For the few months I have used this tool I have not encountered any difficulties. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Reporting Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A simple solution for sending Board documents" August 10, 2025 4.0 It's very easy to set up meetings, add documents for review and invite Board members to meetings. The video conferencing wasn't for us. Pros It is really easy to set up my meetings and collaborate with colleagues on agendas, minutes and board packs prior to the meetings. Some of our board members are a little older and not too comfortable with technology, but they have no issues accessing what they need. Cons We tried the video conferencing once and found it glitchy and reverted back to Teams. We have hybrid meetings, and it was just easier to stick to Teams which we have had no issues with. Review Source KW Kimb W. Owner Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Super Easy of Use" March 16, 2025 5.0 I had used boardable a few times for collaborative work, and it was very breezy Pros Easy to make a board and share it and You can try it out and just work on it occasionally Cons It could be a bit if you got additional project management features and you might look at other tools as well Review Source Response from Boardable April 15, 2025 Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you found Boardable easy to use and great for collaborative work. We appreciate your feedback on project management features—always helpful as we look to improve. Thanks for being part of the Boardable community! DW Dale W. President and CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes my life so much easier" May 13, 2024 5.0 Boardable has been very easy to work with. Very responsive to questions and needs. Pros I like the one place for all board-related documents, like agendas, financials, etc. Cons That it has to be paid in US funds. With the fall of the CDN dollar it is becoming unaffordable, which is a shame. Review Source Response from Boardable May 21, 2024 Dale, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that Boardable has made managing your Board-related documents easier and that our team has been responsive to your questions and needs.

MD Meredith D. president Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Boardable is simple and accessible" February 10, 2021 5.0 Succession planning: Boardable ensures all my board's important business documents are held in one place for easy passing on to new board members. Ease of use: Boardable is clean and uncluttered, making it relatively easy for even non-tech-savvy board members to pick up and use. Good pricing: there's a range of pricing models that make it accessible for even a micro-business. Pros Boardable is clean and uncluttered. That makes it relatively easy for my board and committee members to pick up and use. From a strategic perspective, Boardable captures everything that's important in my boards' business in one place, so that it can easily be passed on to the next generation of the board. Good for succession planning. I now use Boardable for 5 different organizations, and I find switching from one to the other really simple. Boardable's responsiveness is just terrific. Because I am based in Australia, any queries I have are usually responded to overnight. Cons When I onboard a new director, it's not always easy to ensure they have access to previous documents and discussions. Also, the inhouse video option didn't work well for me - but then that's probably because we are based in Australia. Fortunately we can still choose to use Zoom, which works well for us. Review Source Response from Boardable February 26, 2021 Thank you for this lovely review, Meredith. It's a pleasure working with you and we love hearing all your suggestions and ideas for improvement. We're releasing an enhancement to our video platform next week that will dramatically improve the experience for international customers. It's always wonderful to hear that Boardable is helpful with succession planning and easy for all board members to use! Thank you, Samantha KC Kimberly C. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Boardable upgrades are awesome " May 8, 2024 5.0 The experience has been great. Any issues, tech support has been able to work them out. Pros Boardable's recent updates have made the functionality more uaer friendly. I love the agenda and being able to attend specific documents to the agenda items. Cons There should be an "Audit" option. This will allow auditors of nonprofits to one time a year examine minues, etc for audit purposes and not count towards the number of users Review Source Response from Boardable May 21, 2024 We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the recent updates and finding the functionality user-friendly. Stay tuned for more updates to the functionality. We appreciate your suggestion about an "Audit" option. This is a valuable idea, and we understand how it could simplify the audit process. We’ll definitely consider this as we continue to enhance our platform. Thank you for being a part of the Boardable community. SW Shirley W. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good product for the money." February 3, 2021 4.0 Overall, it is a good product. Pros The ability to have a file sharing platform for employees working remotely. Cons Improvements are constantly being made, which is great, but users are not given the option to turn some things on and off. If you don't like something, you are told there is no way for you to opt out of using it. Reason for choosing Boardable The group we had working on selecting a product thought Boardable was more user friendly than the others we were looking at, but that it was not as admin friendly as others. We opted for more user friendly than admin friendly. Review Source Response from Boardable May 19, 2021 Shirley, thank you for your review! We love to hear that Boardable has helped with working remotely for your organization. Thank you for your suggestions as we take pride in listening to our customers needs in order to improve our platform. Thank you for being a great partner! -Leslie from Boardable. CG Crystal G. Founder, President and CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This is a great tool that eliminates the need to send lots of documents to Board members." September 21, 2017 5.0 The software reduced communications, hunting for documents and collecting Board votes for online voting. I like it a lot. Pros The Boardable platform is great for several things. 1. It eliminates the need to send emails and attachments to Board members in the hopes that they will get them all and read them all before the meeting. 2. It cuts down on problems a lot of Board members face at larger corporations with blocked file sharing tools like Box, Dropbox or Google Drive. This isn't an issue because it's out on a server. 3. It cuts down on so much wasted paper from Board packets. Rather than print things out and then toss them after each meeting, Board members can now be responsible for reading and accessing their own Board information. 4. It keeps a record of Board attendance, Board votes and Board meeting documents, all sorted nicely. 5. You can do online voting between meetings - known as polls. Cons I think there are some opportunities for some small design changes, and some opportunities to add in other tools that would make sense like screenshare, conferencing, committee communications, etc. Having said that, I like this tool enough that I have recommended it to other non-profits in the area, and do speak highly of it frequently. I think it's got legs to be something pretty great with a few more iterations. Review Source Response from Boardable April 19, 2021 Thank you Crystal for your review! We love to hear client's feedback as we are always aiming to improve our software. We are happy to hear Boardable has helped with a number of things for your organization. (Leslie from Boardable) TB Tiffany B. Account Manager/Board Administrator Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple and Easy to Use" June 22, 2018 5.0 Pros I love how Boardable has everything we need in one place. I really like using the scheduler to find a meeting date instead of having to us another program to do that. They are constantly evolving and building enhancements to the software making it very easy to use and intuitive. I like the security features that allow each group to only see information pertaining to their particular group. This helps to ensure that sensitive documents are secure within the software. Members of our board love how the software is self-explanatory and easy to navigate through. The transition from our old software was very well received because of this. Cons There are still a couple enhancements that I would like to see, but their customer service team is very open to hearing new ideas that will ultimately help everyone using the software. Review Source Response from Boardable April 27, 2021 Thank you for your review Tiffany! We are happy to hear our platform is easy to use for your members, and has helped keep all your documents safe. Thank you for being a great partner! MH Mechele H. Director of Administration Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for all levels of users!" September 26, 2019 5.0 Overall, Boardable has been a great asset to our organization in helping to streamline communications. No regrets! Pros This product has streamlined not only our board meetings and materials, but across the organization it has become a tool for internal meeting groups. The best thing about Boardable is that it is super user friendly no matter what the technology comfort level might be. Also, with a larger board, this product has made ease of access to information readily available without having to search through multiple files or reach out to request information. Cons There really is not a significant con as Boardable is always enhancing or bringing on new features. Review Source Response from Boardable October 3, 2019 Mechele, thank you so much for your review! We really value having you and WFYI as Boardable customers. Jeb Banner, CEO TS Tami S. Executive Administrative Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Boardable is user-friendly" February 3, 2021 4.0 Using Boardable is much more cost effective than mailing out board packets that tend to be large. I really enjoy it on the administrative end but am still working on board members taking advantage of the ease of this software. Pros I love the ability to create an agenda, ease of publishing meetings, the Document Center and the ability to create a Dashboard message. Although I haven't yet had the opportunity to use all the features, I feel the software is very user-friendly. The Academy is very helpful and the integration process has been fairly easy on the administrative end. Cons When editing People, rather than return to the main page, I would like the ability to move directly to the next person. Reason for choosing Boardable I was not the person that researched products but I believe the free trial period was a big plus as well as the different tiers of membership. Review Source Response from Boardable May 19, 2021 Tami, thank you for your review! We love to hear that Boardable has been user friendly, and that you're loving our features. Thank you for your suggestions as we take pride in listening to our customers needs in order to improve our platform. Thank you for being a great partner! -Leslie from Boardable. VR Verified Reviewer Consultant Political Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Boardable as a group connection tool" May 29, 2019 4.0 I've been consulting with a board that is trying to become more board-driven. This tool has been very useful for setting up responsibilities and tracking meeting dates/times. It's helped tremendously with the board's monthly phone conference; having all the documents in one place attached to the right spot on the agenda is great! Sometimes it's a struggle to get people to complete surveys, but that happens with any board. I have sometimes had trouble finding features on the site. I will say customer service has been quite responsive. Pros It's a good central place to keep information. It's nice to see who has RSVPed or filled out a survey about setting a meeting date without scanning through emails. Cons Some parts of the website are not intuitive. Board members who are not computer savvy tend to stay off the site, and some who are skilled still can't easily find all the features. Review Source Response from Boardable May 30, 2019 Thank you for your review! We appreciate the feedback on the usability. We are about to launch our iOS and Android apps and we hope that they help address any usability issues that your board members might have. And please keep the feedback coming, we regularly update Boardable and appreciate any and all feedback. - Jeb Banner, CEO, Boardable DC Dione C. General Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Must have software for Board organization" September 28, 2019 5.0 Pros We reviewed a number of platforms before we committed to boardable and top features included, document storage and organization, ability to perform polls for a quick response from the board members, ease of use, mobile app and calendar integration. Cons For us, the only inhibiting factor is the cost. We were able to qualify for the non-profit rate which helped, however, it would be the only reason the organization would ever discontinue use would be based purley on if there was room in the budget. Review Source Response from Boardable May 19, 2021 Dione, thank you for your review! We are happy to hear your organizations is loving our features. Thank you for being a great partner. - Leslie from Boardable JR Jim R. Board Chair Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An invaluable tool for 2020 and beyond" February 25, 2021 5.0 Boardable has been invaluable to Musical Family Tree. Since COVID started we have operated all virtually and I honestly don't know how we could have done it without Boardable. It has allowed us to integrate new board members, and continue functioning without a physical space. Pros Being able to have all of our documents and processes in one place has been fantastic. Having a shared calendar and address list is very helpful. Cons We tried the video conferencing and it didn't work as well as some other software available online. Review Source Response from Boardable March 12, 2021 Thanks, Jim! We love having you as a customer! I can't wait for you to try to soon to be released video conference tool. It's light years ahead of our current release and really leaves Zoom in the dust! - Jeb SE Sue E. Executive Director Libraries Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Boardable was a good choice for us" February 3, 2021 4.0 It's a great tool for board management and engagement. It takes time to get all board members comfortable with using it but it has tremendous potential for efficiency. Pros Easy set up and configuration. Free training and training materials. Customer service. Ability to purchase additional seat licenses in small increments (5 seats) at a time. Cons The board packet quick print feature was a recent addition which is very appealing. (printing all attachments for a board meeting in one step instead of individually printing the attachments). But this is only for professional plan subscribers and I'm on the essentials plan. I'd love to see this become part of the essentials plan. Review Source Response from Boardable April 14, 2021 Thank you for your review Sue! We are happy to hear you enjoy our free trainings and are happy with our customer service. (Leslie from Boardable) AM Adrienne M. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love Boardable" February 3, 2021 5.0 Pros We are able to centralize all Board Materials. Minutes were being kept on various platforms. We now have structure, organization, and accountability. Cons We cannot afford additional features. It is more economical and easier to pay for Zoom and Doodle separately. As a virtual organization, I'd love to have our staff meeting on Boardable. We have Board members who are technically challenged. Reason for choosing Boardable Recommendation from a valued colleague. Review Source Response from Boardable May 19, 2021 Thank you for your review, Adrienne. We're happy to hear our platform is helping your organization keep all materials in one centralized place. We are always working on improving platform for our users. We appreciate the suggestions, and will definitely keep it in mind. - Leslie from Boardable. SB SHELLY B.
