### "On par with BoardPro"

March 17, 2026

5.0

Building confidence and trust in navigating the platform, over time. Plenty to discover yet. Always interested to discover more of its features

Pros

We adopted the NFP version in 2025, which was step up from the old school paper shuffle. It has made for a simpler, more efficient flow of information and meeting management.

Cons

Nothing specifically. Adoption by the whole board has gone relatively well, despite the typical demographic wariness regarding 'technology'.

### "Board Pro Says It All"

December 1, 2025

5.0

Very satisfactory - never had a problem with access for multiple entities either as a Governor/Director/Trustee or CEO

Pros

Secure log in; quick access to folders; timeline approach and record of meetings; not subject to continuous upgrades in comparison to other Governance platforms; ability to store documents in a variety of folders

Cons

Until I sorted my various entity access protocols i.e. different email addresses for each of my Directorships and Operational roles I had to rely on admin staff providing links to the meeting papers. That is sorted now and I am able to log in directly to each organisation.

### "Board Papers with easy access "

April 6, 2026

5.0

Great way to receive and handle board papers - like having papers plus all editing and notes digitally

Pros

Easy to use. Bookmarks work. You can highlight points AND make comments. You can go backwards easily- and jump to bookmy

Cons

Going backwards is a challenge until familiarity builds through use. Magnification can be a little clumsy.

### "Easy to Learn"

December 9, 2025

5.0

I found it very easy to learn and we now have a very smooth Board pack compilation process. The minute taking process is also very good, easy to produce and then easy to confirm in the next meeting pack.

Pros

Easy to use, easy to load up papers and share information with Board members. Well structured to identify decisions, noting, etc and easy to attach papers.

Cons

Having to move between agenda and board pack in the checking phase. When I've finished a draft version of the pack being able to download and review the entire pack is not entirely intuitive.

### "Intuitive cloud-based Board portal solution"

October 2, 2025

5.0

I have found it very intuitive to use. I also find the built in help topics generally helpful. When I have needed further guidance, I have been able to submit my question and get personalised responses.

Pros

It is easy to create agendas and upload documents. I also really like the flying minute function and ability to create Board only folders.

Cons

The search function is generally good - it searches within document titles for the whole site, or for keywords within a particular board pack. However I would also love the master search function to search for keywords within documents.

May 22, 2025

5.0

Smooth, easy to use, superb quality and value for money. Excellent platform and software, no issues ever whatsoever, reliable, delivers every time.

Pros

Excellent platform for managing Board meetings, governance comms and confidential files. It has made my work as a LIANZA Board member much more easier, faster and efficient and BoardPro kept me connected and up to date with all comms and my fellow colleagues.

Cons

Superb quality of file sharing and editable functionalities, it never failed to provide timely and essentials updates and access to board data and information.

### "BoardPro -- the ONLY affordable Board portal solution"

November 26, 2024

5.0

Easy billing, available extras like free continuing education programs on governance, and while they have higher paid programs they do not try to upsell you. Customer support is available through text. Note that they are an Australian company, so there are some word-spelling differences ("organisation" vs "organization") and their regular business hours are not convenient to Americans, but this is a minor inconvenience and actually something I like about them.

Pros

BoardPro is the most affordable of all the board portal programs. It is a bit more bare-bones than some other programs, but it fits our needs and does so for a fraction of the cost. It keeps tracks of meeting schedules, agendas, and added documents for review. Our Board members are able to access the information for the meetings, and the system sends them reminder notifications automatically. The program works well for us.

Cons

It is a bit more bare-bones than other software, so aesthetically there are a few things I would change but they are insignificant. The thing that I like least is that there are a couple of programs that are available for an upcharge that I would like to be included in the basic program. The one that I would most like included at the basic rate is the add on that allows Board members to vote online.

### "BoardPro: One Year In and Going Strong"

December 3, 2024

5.0

It is a lot of work to prepare meaningful board and committee meetings, BoardPro alerts our members in advance, and provide the opportunity for pre-meeting review of supporting documents. When in the board meeting they are able to access the meeting and documents on their laptops, and follow the discussion in real-time. It allows for deeper board engagement, their eyes are no longer glossing over from an abundance of paper packets and content.

Pros

Ability to organize board meetings with supporting documents for each committee's report.

Cons

Would like to be able to create a MASTER board meeting or committees' meeting, and then enter a recurring date range, or enter custom dates and have the software duplicate and repeat for the entire calendar year.

June 8, 2025

4.0

Near excellent, however this could be improved with internal functionality and capability improvement

Pros

The security portal measures which enables secure access to on-boarding and sensitive documents stored.

Cons

The restricted access of the security portal, specifically the formatting when docs are stored inside

### "HR Director"

November 25, 2025

5.0

My overall experience is the fact that it is user friendly, easy to navigate, easy to amend agenda and upload pre-reads.

Pros

It is efficient and ensure all members to a meeting are informed on changes in the agenda and the meeting pack by a simple click of the publish button.

Cons

There is nothing that I don't like. The platform is great. Maybe you can add a video conferencing software like MS Teams to be able to join remotely or record a meeting.

November 25, 2025

5.0

Positive and easy to keep everything in one place. A good structure helps to minimise duplication of papers and documents.

Pros

Helpful to have all boards in one portal. Easy to use and record notes and keep everything in one place

Cons

Need to be connected to the internet to use so can’t use offline so can be used when travelling and no wifi connection is available

October 1, 2025

5.0

Very good so far. It has been really helpful for helping me plan agendas, and it has good reminder functionality.

Pros

Easy and convenient to use with great features. For example I have found the flying minutes very helpful.

Cons

With Boardpro being technical platform, not everyone has the same level of technical expertise and so access has sometimes been challenging. While this is not necessarily a con of BoardPro, this has been my experience.

### "Great and easy to use"

October 23, 2025

5.0

Pros

Sends automatic reminders to your email address for actions, and meetings. Can see which members viewed the agenda and meeting pack ahead of the meeting.

Cons

Sometimes the formatting is difficult when writing the agenda e.g. with tables and fonts. Would like links to automatically come up underlined and in a different colour font without having to format that myself.

### "Governance made easy"

December 10, 2025

5.0

Makes my job easy as a Director, and thats all we need! I have used other governance systems and this one is at the top.

Pros

For me, it comes down ease of use. Its easy to navigate, intuitive and great for what I need. The packs, minites, actions lists are all available at the click of a button.

Cons

I am yet to find something I dont like about it. But if I was to choose something, it would be making the notes more noticable.

August 26, 2025

5.0

I am very happy with the board pro experience and have recommended it to all of the boards I am on to try and use it all over my portfolio.

Pros

Great value for money, I also appreciate the companies focus on building new features and continually growing the functionality to make our board meetings more effective. I also appreciate their proactive customer support.

Cons

scheduling can be a little confusing and buggy with different calendars (google, outlook, ical etc) but it isn't a major.

'Ease', safety, confidential, everything in one spot, its smart. The back up support is excellent, fast comms and help.

Pros

The website is easy to navigate & intuitive, everything is in one place and its 'safe'.

An excellent way of actually moving to a paperless office. A paperless office has been a dream for many years and boardpro brings that in reach .. finally !

Pros

The ease of use and the fact that it is paperless represents great value for money with no apparent bugs or issues

Cons

There is nothing I can think of that would be considered a con so it's difficult for me to try and think of anything

### "Using Board pro"

June 30, 2025

4.0

Emerging user so just taking minutes for the first few times. The structure of needing to use notes and then a separate action/resolution could be integrated.

Pros

Use of templates to generate minutes and agendas and also manage interest registers. We are also using it as a document register

Cons

The taking of minutes is a little clunky - it would be good to be able to move more easily from the notes to the resolution/action

### "Helps me stay organised!"

July 3, 2025

5.0

Very good; it's easy to use and keeps me organised. It makes a big difference to how organised I feel in advance of meetings, and stores all my papers and minutes in ones place.

Pros

Board Pro makes managing, reading and annotating board papers easy. It also helps me to track my actions; I am on a lot of committees, and it is easy to lose track without this help.

Cons

I like BoardPro a lot. I'd like to see a feature that helps me skip between my own comments so that I don't have to scroll to find them.

December 10, 2024

Fast and efficient. Both for my limited time as a governor and for the team managing the governance processes for the Boards I am on.

Pros

Cost effectiveness. Ease of navigation. I use it on two Boards, one of which is supported online by a virtual Board Secretary and the platform enables seamless management of papers, notes, flying minutes and governance documents all in an easy find structure.

Cons

Can't fault it. Although I have from time to time needed to access on my iPhone. I must download the iOS version.

April 2, 2025

5.0

I like using board pro because it makes it easier to see everything that's happening in an easy to access way

Pros

i like being able to vote on circular resolutions through flying minutes rather than doing an email chain which we previously did before using boardpro

Cons

The fact that flying minutes aren't available on the home tab, which is a small issue that could be improved upon

Seamless, which is essential in my role.

Pros

Ease of use and navigation makes BoardPro an essential component of our board process.

Cons

I'd be keen to see our organisation introduce two factor authentication to access BoardPro given the sensitivity of the information it contains.
