"Easy onboarding, clear UI & UX, with integration in calendar apps"
What do you like best about BoardSpot?

As a busy executive, I thought that BoardSpot was extremely easy and straightforward to use. In fact, it includes a lot of features that boards use — such as voting, attendance, and quorum tracking. The integration with calendar apps is impressive, as users can respond with their own calendar apps (Attending vs Not Attending) and the web app tracks and displays these very easily. Bios, profiles, and photos of boardmembers and staff is easy to access. The web app itself is light and loads fast in Safari. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardSpot?

There's not much to dislike. It's very easy and quick to use. I would selfishly like to see if BoardSpot has a solution for corporate boards! Additionally, if there were a way to have thumbnail previews of files — such as PDF uploads — so we can easily view what's on the front page. Finally, would like to see a way for boardmembers to synchronize with their own cloud drives (like OneDrive) and notetaking apps (like Evernote), plus integration with virtual meeting transcripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Sharp of BoardSpot

BoardSpot was, and continues to be, designed with the member experience in mind. It sounds like we hit the mark for you! We are happy to hear that as a busy user, you found it easy to onboard and see the value. Thank you for sharing this feedback. I will add your product ideas to our feature request list.

"Supportive for Board Development"
What do you like best about BoardSpot?

BoardSpot is simple to navigate. It provides helpful features to search for specific board member personas and share more about your mission. It's a great opportunity for newer nonprofits like mine to get situated and hit the ground running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardSpot?

Wishing there was a better way to curate or authoritze / verify the individuals listed on BoardSpot. This was it cuts the chase and is able to make sure that board members found are more fitting / actually interested beyong an initial conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Sharp of BoardSpot

Milan- once your board members are chosen, we would love to be your board portal that delivers clear insights into member participation.

"Great option for smaller boards"
What do you like best about BoardSpot?

BoardSpot is a big upgrade from using something like Google Drive to organize board materials. Simple enough that it is accesible to less-savvy board members, and checks the box on all the key things. Most board portal platforms are enterprise-priced, and BoardSpot has offerings for smaller boards that can't spend thousands on software. We very much appreciate that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardSpot?

It's hard to complain about anything -- the value to price ratio is very high. The platform speed is a touch slow at times and it would be useful to have online voting / polling features outside of the meeting functionality, but those are nipping at the fringes. We are very happy with what we get and I know of no alterntive we could have used at this price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Sharp of BoardSpot

Thank so much, Chris! We appreciate this thoughtful feedback. The voting/polling outside of a meeting is on our roadmap. We have been working on the performance speed and hope you'll see improvements soon!

"intuitive, organized, simple"
What do you like best about BoardSpot?

everything from upcoming meetings to agenda to attachments for presetnations are all in one place making it convenient and easy to find, especially given the limited time of board memebers and the amount of documents they need to go through,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardSpot?

integration with calendars and video conference platforms would be great. love the agenda and attachments, but if i could be presenting directly from boardspot, then it would make things even better.

a messaing fucntion within might help? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Sharp of BoardSpot

Glad you are finding the portal intuitive and effective. I have added your ideas to our feature request list. We are currently working on the last piece of a video platform integration. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on presenting directly from the portal. Chat me from inside the portal, and we can set up a time! Thanks.

The meeting information is more organized and accessible, and we have access to everything in one convient location.

"Ease-of-use!"
What do you like best about BoardSpot?

I love more than one thing - so, hard to say "best" - I like seeing photo images of my board colleagues, being able to see other committees' materials, and knowing when my next committee meeting is. The layout is so accessible, thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardSpot?

If I didn't have all my passwords already saved in my computer, I'd be frustrated about logging in every time, but I appreciate the security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Sharp of BoardSpot

Jenifer, we love that our board portal helps you stay up to date, know your fellow board members, and be impactful. We appreciate your feedback!

"Excellent, especially as a first-time board member"
What do you like best about BoardSpot?

UX is easy to use and understand. Love the design and appreciate the ease overall. It has been really helpful in keeping myself organized engaging with a huge board of a huge non-profit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardSpot?

Nothing yet - overall I think its been wonderful and easy to use. It would be cool to have a feature to chat within committees or like socially connect with others but I think its good so far and serves its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Sharp of BoardSpot

It makes up happy to know that board members from non-profits of every size can use our simple yet powerful portal to "know where to go and what to do"!
