What do you like best about Diligent Boards?

I appreciate that Diligent Boards makes our board meetings simpler and more organized. The ability to annotate and highlight documents during our discussions is helpful in the ability to have more productive discussions. Additionally, the security measures are top notch and help us sleep well regarding handling of any sensitive materials. For a couple of hours preparation and follow up, I know we save at least, Diligent Boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

However, there are adverse inconveniences such as slow synchronization of files from the Diligent Boards to the other device if one is on the move. I could only add that I also felt that in terms of the appearance of the dashboard, it could have been designed to be more personalised depending with the institutions requirements. For instance, it would be great to get a glimpse of the time-sensitive items or agenda that is in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Diligent Boards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our preparation and follow up processes for Board meetings using Diligent Boards are much better. We would go through hours chasing approvals, and compiling documents for meetings before. Instant, now that everything is together. On top of that, you can note what decisions and assignments happen within a platform and that we’re all in agreement about and we’re answerable for the next step. It has made a huge difference in the efficiency and efficacy of the Board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application transformed our board meetings into a whole new level of productivity. The adjustable meeting agendas provide users with simple adaptability to shape each session's main topics. Real-time annotations allow us to work together directly on documents so we no longer need to spend hours sending and receiving emails. The application maintains exceptional security standards which provide users with complete assurance about protecting their important information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

User frustration frequently occurs when users switch between projects on the mobile platform because of intermittent freezes. Search functions for Priority Maps perform well yet interface improvements are necessary to help users handle these tools efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Diligent Boards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to Diligent Boards implementation we struggled to maintain control over board materials. Our group constantly sent documents back and forth through emails until we confirmed everyone held the most recent version. Diligent enables us to maintain real-time updates of all materials within one unified platform. Our transition to Diligent Boards simplified document preparation work and eliminated the delays created by outdated materials during meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Diligent Boards?

I enjoy that Diligent Boards have an easy to use platform and one that offers high level security. The different widgets present in the dashboards enable me to easily and directly get to important information and the communication and collaborative features enables me to directly communicate and share information with my team. Also, the mobile app guarantees that I do not miss board matters even when I am off the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

Even though there are countless features in Diligent Boards, the first time users might be confused. One weakness that I found out about this onboarding process is that there is need for new users to undertake through various processes in order to acquire more information and hence a more elaborate onboarding process would be of benefit to any new user. Lastly, the prices may be a bit high for some particularisms hence not ideal for small organizations in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Diligent Boards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Diligent Boards eradicates the challenge of performing routine, tiresome work, associated with board management tools and work processes. This has benefited me in a way that I am able to open documents I want and share them with a colleague or prepare and review meetings online with my team and be in touch with them in real time. Further, enhanced security attributes engender confidence as a way of ensuring secure data is assured proper security status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Diligent Boards?

I love that Diligent Boards does such a fantastic job of streamlining board meetings and board documents. The convenience of having all the required materials while making it easy to access and safely to store it means that you do not bother yourself with hard copies or documents pinned down various locations. I also really enjoy built in collaboration like comment tracking and version history. Working remotely, these tools help the teams stay aligned in an easy way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

The downside to Diligent Boards is that occasionally larger files take longer to upload, interrupting the prep for the next meeting. While the platform is usually functional the delay at times can draw down on efficiency. On top of that, the platform doesn’t give you very much room for playing around with how the board materials are being presented. It would be a good thing if there were more options to customise how your documents appear to fit particular needs better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Diligent Boards solving and how is that benefiting you?

Diligent Boards has been a real asset for me to mange and distriubte board materials. With everything present in just one place, it solves the problem of keeping all things orderly and in a safe and easy to access platform. Particularly helpful have been the collaboration features that allow for feedback and conversations to be captured and tracked to one single central location where decisions and progress are documented clearly, essential for my remote work set up.
