What do you like best about Diligent Boards?

The Diligent Boards platform makes it easy for boards to communicate and manage documents. The document-sharing functionality of Diligent Boards ensures secure protection of essential industry-sensitive data. Real-time annotations and task assignments through collaborative tools help directors to review documents before meetings thus enhancing productivity. Every user group can navigate through the interface without difficulty because it delivers a simple user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

Users experience difficulties in document retrieval because the search feature returns unreliable results. The mobile app serves useful purposes but it fails to deliver all desktop features which proves inconvenient for users while using it on their mobile devices. Users who are new to the platform encounter difficulties because of its extensive array of features which create an advanced learning experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The previous board communication system at Diligent Boards lacked order because members depended on emails and paper documents which produced numerous inefficiencies and errors. Everything exists in a centralized and secure environment. Through Diligent Boards board members receive instant access to documents and they can share thoughts and add notes directly on the platform in real time. The platform has enhanced both meeting speed and decision processes which resulted in enhanced governance performance and regulatory compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Diligent Boards?

Diligent Boards offers an intuitive, customizable dashboard, which allows me to easily pick tasks in my list. Me for instance, dragged and dropped the agenda items on changed priorities has made our meetings prep really fast. The game changer for the integrated document management is not that everything is instantly accessible, but that all of the necessary materials are reduced to one place and drastically reduced time spent searching for papers. The real time collaboration such as live annotations and voting has changed our board meetings to something dynamic and productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

The software has a lot of features but the learning curve for new users is quite steep. Potential initial adoption might slow down if this is not tech savvy language. Also, there need to be more robust functionalities in mobile app to cover all the functionalities of the desktop version for engaging in productivity on the go. Muting these issues would be to provide more interactive tutorials or guided walkthroughs with user onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before Diligent Boards, managing board materials and meeting agendas were chaotic and time consuming. Centralized document storage and real time collaboration for documents compliments this ever evolving process using the software. And now everything is in one and in one place. Apart from saving countless hours, this has also made sure that all the board member are in sync and are ready for the meeting, which in turn has helped in making the decision making process smoother and more efficient.

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.

Real-time annotations allow us to work together directly on documents so we no longer need to spend hours sending and receiving emails.

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.
