### "Best software for boards trying to adopt a consent agenda"

January 21, 2022

4.0

Board pro helped us reduce our meeting time from 5 hours to 2.5

Pros

Boardpro provides all the core functionality a board will need at a reasonable price. It has saves hundreds of emails each month that went between the board members by moving them to comments on motions between meeting. It has organized our board pack and structure hour meeting to save hours and allows us to pre approve many of the actions we have to do.

Cons

Although UI is clean and simple somethings are difficult to find. I also wish it had action items on review only items and report reviews.

### "For simplify the Agenda of a Project Manager/Scrum Master"

January 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

As a Project Manager the aspects that I like most in BoardPro are linked with the simplification of the Agenda, the possibility to take minutes, add actions, record decisions in real time. Moreover, I appreciate the possibility to search for important meeting papers or past decision without switch in other platforms (like outlook, word, ppt and so on) and last but not least the possibility to manage board responsabilities in one phase.

Cons

There isn't and Andoid app for this platform (only the IoS version). So, I think this is the only weakness point

### "My BoardPro "

May 21, 2023

5.0

I was so impressed with BoardPro that I took the time to recommend & present it to my previous CEO (Employer) in another country. Having worked on board packs for many years, I honestly feel like I have been living "in the dark ages" until I was exposed to BoardPro. It is phenomenal.

Pros

BoardPro's usability has been the most impactful for me making it easy to learn, having never used the program before. Simple, effective, secure & flexible.

Cons

Absolutely nothing! I honestly cannot fault BoardPro.

Reason for choosing BoardPro

There was no alternative.

### "Using BoardPro"

May 29, 2019

5.0

BoardPro has reduced the time it used to take for me to compile meeting agendas. I can build agendas through the month and load relevant papers as they come to hand. Access to documentation by Board members is much easier. The decision register is very useful as it is no longer kept in a separate database programme. Also the interest register is in the same programme as other board information.

Pros

I compile agendas for several companies, committees and a trust. Using BoardPro has reduced the time these processes have taken significantly because the names of those who will be expected at the meeting are already available and so is my template for the meeting agendas. It is very easy to make changes as necessary. The Trustees, Directors and Committee members like the notification process that advises them when meeting papers are ready for them to view and when they have actions to complete. I also like that support from BoardPro is available quickly and ideas that users have to improve the features of the product are invited, considered and often implemented so that we all gain the benefit of better board papers.

Cons

Nothing really. A challenge can be that the programme is cloud based, so if access to the Internet is interrupted getting to the board papers can be difficult. Consequently, I always have a hard copy of the agenda available at each meeting and a way in which to record minutes that does not rely on the cloud. I have been using BoardPro for just over a year now and so far have only needed to employ my alternative method once.

### "Great product, but could do with some tiny refinements."

April 11, 2022

5.0

Excellent easy to use product that was well priced when I compared it to other products. Does everything we need it do.

Pros

All the Board information is in one secure location. But most of all, its extremely easy to use.

Cons

There are a few little annoying features, such as when approving a motion in the minutes you must leave a comment. sometimes there is no need for a comment other than approved which is already been ticked. The administrator needs more power to amend contact details of directors eg. email addresses, the directors arent always on top of these things.

Reason for choosing BoardPro

1\. Price 2. Ease of Use

November 16, 2023

5.0

Pros

Structure, accountability, action plans, integrated agendas, cloud based, accessability and easily used.

Cons

Makes me more accountable! Not much more cons than that.

### "For meeting flow use Board Pro"

June 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

Previously for meetings board packs were created by hand, bound and couriered to attendees. Consequently, doing things such as adding pages is impossible once the packs have been made up, let alone sent. Board Pro resolves this problem as documents can be added, deleted or updated as required and the packs republished, ensuring participants have the most current version. The other major advantage is the ease of minute taking. Notes can be taken on the fly rather than being hand-written, then transcribed into Word. Minutes essentially write themselves and can be finalised with the close of the meeting. Such a time saver.

Cons

Problems found with Board Pro tend to be user orientated - from lack of familiarity as I only use it 3 - 4 times a year. For example, adding agenda items in the right place.

### "BoardPro for a seed stage hi-groth startup"

May 13, 2021

4.0

We would be significantly worse off without BoardPro. Our Board management would be cumbersome and inefficient. We cant afford that, however neither can we afford to be 'loose' in management of the Governance processes for the business. BoardPro gives us a cost-effective solution. It has bvecome an essential part nof our business operating system.

Pros

We have fond BoardPro to be an excellent way of centrally managing the entire Board and Governance process. We have distributed Directors and started as a very small exec team. Because we were planning an additiona capital raise it was important that the governance process was disciplined and well documented. BoardPro has achieved this and impressed our Directors, the legal teams involved and our American VC's as well. Fair to say that we rely on BoardPro to manage this aspect of the business completely.

Cons

BoardPro works very well as is. It will also benefit from ongoing feature development. Specifically we would like better calendar control and additional registers maintained by the system (beyond the register of interests). BoardPro maintain an active, user driven feature request process and both these are on the list. BoardPro sits as a stand alone tool within our business. Its capabilities overlap with other tools (share registry management) so we are careful about document storage and other areas wher eit is possible to create multiple versions of the truth.

[Diligent Boards](https://www.capterra.com/p/149069/Diligent-Boards/)

Reason for choosing BoardPro

Other products were to complex and too expensive for our use case. Diligent was clearly not intended for the smaller startup style business. It was difficult to even understand its basic operating methodology.

### "BoardPro"

### "BoardPro - Great for board management in companies of all sizes"

November 8, 2023

5.0

Great. Very straightforward to use for our team and our Board. Plenty of efficiencies for our small team which has allowed us to focus direct our time toward growing the business

Pros

BoardPro has provided our small team countless efficiencies in our Board management. The ability to keep minutes, notes and actions recorded all in one place has saved plenty of time for our team and our Directors which would have previously been spent searching through files and email trails to compile information.

Cons

I can't think of any aspect of BoardPro that would rank lower than existing/email methods of managing our Board activity. No major issues, bugs or areas for improvement immediately spring to mind

### "User friendly new best friend"

June 19, 2024

5.0

Very positive. It reduces administrative activities and enhances efficiency.

Pros

It is user-friendly and intuitive—great for streamlining our meetings, keeping everything in one place, allowing for great annotation on the papers, etc.

Cons

Not a lot - can it insert macrons, can you apply two people to one task? We got caught short with unstable internet - which, of course, had an impact.

### "Easy to use and streamlines processes"

July 11, 2022

4.0

We have greatly reduced the time spent assembling meeting packs, and allowed better transferability across the team where one person understood the complex manual process previously. Correcting minor errors is now much simpler, and the automatic reminders for actions increase the likelihood of actions being completed on time.

Pros

It is easy to set up, finesse and publish meeting packs, with the whole secretariat able to work collaboratively on this process. Updates are simple to make even after the pack is published, and users can choose whether to view and mark up online or print.

Cons

We were disappointed that meeting invitations aren't yet fully integrated with Outlook. The extra step required for users to click on the .ics attachment, and the lack of visibility of nuanced responses (e.g. messages included in responses, and tentative responses) meant we have had to continue setting up meeting appointments manually, rather than managing these from BoardPro.

June 1, 2023

4.0

Makes virtual meetings much more efficient

Pros

All meeting documents are in one place including the link to the meeting

Cons

I would like to be able to see the agenda at the same time as any of the meeting documents, so be able to keep the agenda open all the time, as well as keep the meeting minutes window open at the same time so I can see the agenda, the meeting document and take notes all at the same time.

### "Ideal for Meeting Agendas and Minutes"

September 13, 2023

5.0

Love it, I wish I could use it for all the Committee meetings I take Minutes for (11 of them!) but they aren't all as formal as the one I do use BoardPro for. I appreciate that it's so easy to edit and update existing Agendas / Minutes and that this can be done without Committee members receiving notifications all the time.I really really would like to win the iPad but I want to let you know that this is a genuine positive review of your product :)

Pros

Intuitive interface, I love the drag and drop features. Logical layout, easy to use. To be fair I don't use all of the features, but those that I do I really like.

Cons

When I copy+Paste from another document the formatting needs fixing, also I can't select what font to use to a very large degree so often I have to find workarounds to make things look consistent throughout the Agenda and / or Minutes.

Reason for choosing BoardPro

I wasn't involved in the change to BoardPro, it was already here.

### "BoardPro saves us days of time"

August 28, 2023

5.0

BoardPro saves us days of time each month in collation and preparation of board packs, and in searching back over prior board decisions.

Pros

BoardPro makes preparation of meeting agendas, packs and minutes so fast and easy. The product helps our chair and committee secretaries keep meetings focussed and on track, and assists with clarity around decisions made and the history of the board. Search functions are powerful and help us to maintain consistency in decision making over time.

Cons

Some features related to managing people and profiles could be streamlined, particularly when sharing people between the board and subcommittees.

5.0

I have used this product for the last 3yrs and it has worked well for our Board. It is easy to navigate, upload docs, print packs, email packs, access help when needed and many many more attributes

Pros

How easy it is to use and the simplicity of it. Some of our users are not tech savy so this has been great for them

Cons

Nothing. The areas I use work well for me.

Reason for choosing BoardPro

It was the first product we saw as a Board, so we took a chance and haven't turned back. Great work team

### "Good governance enabler"

July 16, 2020

5.0

Has made role as Chair so much simpler and meeting management more effective. Boardpro (the team) really responsive to queries, and the response is rapid. This also makes Boardpro a standout. I'm careful about recommending stuff to people, but I do mentoring on governance for not for profit organisations. I have no hesitation in advising them to get on to Boardpro. Not for profits are really reluctant to invest in overheads, but there is real value in the productivity gain in investing in this software. In my view, it also makes life easier for volunteer trustees, who deserve having their lives made easier given their freely-given time from busy lives.

Pros

Well thought through and designed. Provides a structured way to get information in front of Board members. Able to store Board files, and to search previous meeting documentation and decisions. Great automated task tracker, and terrific job of managing minutes. Ability to annotate papers useful, esp if using tablet or touch screen.

Cons

Search facility seems a bit hit and miss - does not seem to find documents unless title expressed accurately and in full.

### "A big difference "

May 10, 2022

5.0

My overall experience is excellent - it is very easy to use and all board members (regardless of IT ability) use it. Having all governance documents accessible in a central place helps with management of governance and reporting obligations. The other big plus is that it saves me so much time.

Pros

The whole process from agenda, taking minutes, distributing, updating and redistributing, storing governance documents saves me hours for each meeting. Updating and reminding directors of due actions, and important changes is very easy.

Cons

I would like to be able to set different formatting options (fonts etc) but not a show stopper.

Reason for choosing BoardPro

Price mainly - for a not-for-profit the cost is reasonable and manageable. The time saved easily justifies the price. BoardPro also includes all the features required with confidence we are meeting our governance obligations. When researching the product I had many questions and the support I received was excellent.

BoardPro has allowed me to go paperless for all meetings and has greatly assisted my contribution to the various discussions on the reports read as I can ensure the notes I make on the various reports read are all in one place and accessible wherever I am

### "Simple, efficient – where were you 20 years ago!?"

January 25, 2021

5.0

I came on board to take a small not-for-profit and expand it nationally. Board Pro instantly solved what could have been weeks of designing a governance system. Each month we save hours of administrative work.

Pros

Board Pro replicates the board governance process that I have used for years. Everything in one place, board packets are easy to produce and modify. Board members are able to use the files as they wish – online or download the PDF. I love the fact that the formatting is automated. Board Pro saves at least four hours of administration time setting up the board packet. The price point makes it easy to decide to go with the software. It is without peer.

Cons

Small and responsive, the team at Board Pro seemed to anticipate any improvements I could ask for. Impressively, they routinely ask for feedback and ideas.

So glad we're landed with BoradPro - very user friendly.

Pros

Ease of use, along with the easy access and return to agenda for board meeting papers.

Cons

Great but if I had to say something then keep working on the interface (front) page to make it as easy to navigate back & forward with place markers. Also is there a secure transcribe feature for draft minutes (where once approved it's deleted)?
