Its realiable, easy to use and has interactive features. Supports team collaborration and meeting management.The user interface is generally well-organized, making it easy to navigate even with all the powerful tools it packs.

Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Convene in a Business Meeting Setting" August 25, 2025 5.0 During meeting schedules, it's important to keep organization down to the most important of details. My experience with Convene is that, as you attend meetings with other executives, the value for money presented with the tools is invaluable, as navigating these rough waters without them is tough. Leaning to use these tools to keep things safe and secure for the privacy of every member involved is not easy, but very rewarding when considering they're all part of the team, and every member contributes something valuable. Pros Convene allows for effective board management on a lot of areas that need it, such as allowing for sharing multiple documents or sharing votes directly online. By having such a robust selection of features, Convene makes meetings much more engaging for all board members present. Cons Customer support can vary from time to time, as contacting the support team when things go wrong can sometimes be delayed when you need help, and technical problems are always at the forefront. Review Source CC Christine. C. Adminstrator Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premium Meeting Experience with Limited Flexibility." February 13, 2026 5.0 Pros What stood out about Convene is how effortlessly it blends functionality with ease of use. The spaces feel premium without being pretentious, modern technology, reliable tech setup, and on-site support that actually solves problems in real time. Booking and coordinating meetings is smooth, and the staff are proactive rather than reactive. It’s the kind of environment that elevates client meetings and team sessions without adding operational headaches. Cons While Convene delivers a polished experience, the premium pricing can be a stretch for smaller teams or frequent bookings. Review Source TK Taryn K.

Grant us the expansion of our company that we have always wanted. Customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal of this program.

Head (IT Infrastructure & Operation) Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convene software review" January 7, 2021 5.0 The overall experience in using Convene is good in our company. Pros Our company has used Convene software for a couple of years for convening internal and external meetings and Board meetings. We particularly like the features of screen synchronisation among all meeting participants and the marking private or public comments and highlighting important information on the documents. Cons The latest version for supporting video conference feature is not market competitive that only 8 users can display their camera images and others can only use the voice function. Looking forward to receiving a more advance feature for video conferencing. Reason for choosing Convene More competitive in pricing and features, and easy to use. Review Source Response from Azeus Systems January 18, 2021 We are grateful for your feedback of Convene.

Finance Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convene Review" July 28, 2023 4.0 It helped us to go paperless for Board meetings and saved a lot of admin time printing, collating and posting Board packs ahead of meetings. Pros Easy to set up meetings, upload documents, add attendees etcMuch reduced paperwork and associated administration Cons We tend to use a paper agenda still as the electronic papers move in a linear fashion and you don't know what's coming up next until you move on to it.I would like to see a feature that countdowns the time allocated for each agenda item that you can see while moving through the papers in a particular section. Reason for choosing Convene It was recommended by another supplier Review Source Response from Azeus Systems August 30, 2023 Hi Jonathan! We are glad to hear that you really like how easy it is to be able to plan meetings with Convene. Likewise, to be able to go paperless in your board packs.

Governance Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Implementing and using Convene has proved a huge success with colleagues and Board members." May 23, 2018 5.0 We save so much time. Using Adobe to collate the papers used to not only take ages but would often not work. The management of written resolutions outside of meetings is much easier. Pros It was quick and easy to implement. The software itself is intuitive to use and even the least tech savvy Board Members have found it straightforward and easy to use. We haven't used all the functionality (Board Members are yet to use the 'presenting' function) but the meeting, document library and resolution functions adequately meet our needs. The pulling together of the Board papers is a quicker and less stressful experience than it was previously and with improved security as we're not emailing round pdfs to various email addresses. Cons Having used two similar products, I really struggle to find a fault with Convene, as it generally provides the same functionality more efficiently and for a lower cost. It would be helpful to be able to hyperlink between documents within the document library but unsure if this is just something that isn't possible with cloud based software. Probably the biggest fault, based on the feedback from our Board is...why didn't we get it sooner! Review Source Response from Azeus Systems July 4, 2021 Thank you so much for the positive review! We are happy to hear that the functionality and security of Convene's digital meeting platform is serving your board well and is saving your company money. We will pass on your feedback to the development team. Please feel free to send any ideas for future updates to your account manager. Your input as an active user of Convene is what will help us continue to offer a better user experience. CHS Chin Hui S. Institutional Business Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review on Convene" January 21, 2021 5.0 The overall experience is good and board members are relatively okay with the product. Pros 1) The flexibility to configure the security settings to suit to organisation's policy 2) Ease to create user accounts rapidly 3) Ease to create meetings quickly and upload presentation documents Cons 1) Lack of Video/Audio functionality. Meetings have to be conducted concurrently with a video conferencing tool. 2) The Device Registration for 2FA is quite troublesome, especially when users cannot remember which is the first device or which devices has been registered Alternatives considered [Board Papers](https://www.capterra.com/p/151895/Board-Papers/) Reason for choosing Convene The Datacentre is hosted in Singapore Review Source Response from Azeus Systems January 25, 2021 Thank you so very much for your review of Convene.

I asked the administrator for feedback and was advised it was easy to prepeare and set up meetings , create agendas and easy to load the documents , create minutes and action logs. Access to Convene is password protected which keeps the documentation secure. The meeting papers are archived so there is ease of access to previous meetings. Pros The introduction of Azeus Convene has transformed the way we deliver our Board and Senior Management meetings and is a beneficial aid to control the meeting from start to finish. It has improved efficiency by removing the need to print and post papers, saving on both time and cost. If additional information is to be included, this can be easily added, letting participants know. It is ideal for collaboration as it allows participants to see all comments made and access to each response, enhancing transparency and accountability. Convene is easy to install on both my ThinkPad and phone. Cons Some excel spreadsheets (especially large documents ) don't display as original documents when loaded .

Pros To me the features where you can just drag your documents from your desktop to be uploaded is definitely the best as it helps me to save time and makes my life easier. Cons I think maybe convene should enable someone who had just been added to the software/apps to access all the past papers or documents that has been uploaded previously. Review Source Response from Azeus Systems December 14, 2020 Hello! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying using Convene and are reaping its benefits.
