I like how Convene stores all the meeting agenda, related documentation, and notes in one easily accessible location, so I can come back and reference as necessary to support conversation. I like the structured interface and how I was able to navigate the tool and find what I was looking for once I learned how the system functioned. It was easy to use for accessing documents, and the training support resources that accompanied it were helpful. I would like an easier to navigate interface for some of the advanced features.

Certain sophisticated options require a bit of digging and perhaps a more user-friendly design for first-time visitors. For a small team, the cost might be tough to justify. I would like to see more third-party integrations and well-defined, AI-assisted workflows for admin processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Convene to maintain my technical meetings with distributed agendas, distributed documents, and distributed action items. I appreciate its ability to quickly review decisions and cleanly follow up with assigned action items instead of digging through disparate notes. It is usually fairly intuitive to use the system and, by centralizing the meeting information, allows our engineers to stay in sync about the requirements and priorities for our product development.

A few of the features are hard to find and could be more intuitive. It would be helpful to have more open pricing plans, speedier technical support, and more integrations with engineering tools. AI insights in meetings have to be accurate with tech data so that correction time is minimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find most impressive about Convene is its centralized meeting management system. In my role as an Assistant Professor, it is essential to properly organize department meetings, project reviews, faculty discussions, and academic documentation. Convene helps by managing agendas, meeting documents, approvals, and minutes—all in one place.

The ability to update documents and ensure that the latest information reaches all relevant participants is highly useful, as it reduces the need for constant email exchanges and the sharing of multiple file versions. Secure document sharing and access controls are also significant advantages, particularly when dealing with confidential academic or administrative information. Overall, its structured approach makes meetings more organized and streamlines the decision-making process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Convene offers a wide range of features; consequently, it may take some time initially to understand all the options and tailor them to your specific workflow. New users might require some initial guidance to navigate meeting settings, document permissions, and administrative controls.

At times, stringent security settings can mean that granting document access or updating permissions requires additional administrative effort. Simplifying the interface and the onboarding process would make it even easier for faculty members to adopt the platform. Overall, while the learning curve is manageable, there is room to make the initial setup process simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Sales and Marketing Specialist, I find Convene most useful for keeping important business meetings organized. Whether I’m reviewing client strategies, presenting proposals, or discussing priorities with stakeholders, having the agenda and all supporting documents in one place makes preparation far more manageable. It also helps everyone access the right information quickly, which keeps discussions on track and focused. I especially appreciate that meeting documents and decisions can be stored and maintained in an orderly way, rather than having to dig through email threads or hunt down separate file links each time.

Convene is useful for running structured meetings, but I don’t find it especially convenient for quick, informal team discussions. New users may also need some time to get comfortable with the navigation options and understand the access settings. Additionally, if integrations with the everyday tools used by sales and marketing teams were more flexible, it would be easier to connect meeting decisions to ongoing projects and follow through on them.

Convene for me has tried to solve a very practical problem. It has tried to bring the typical boardroom meeting on a virtual level. Like in a typical boardroom with agendas, presentation, pointers and printed materials, Convene has tried to squeeze all of that in a platform which one can access from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside, in my view, of products like this—not just Convene, but the entire category—is that you can’t really guarantee your teammates’ attention. Sitting in a room with board members versus attending virtually will never be the same. Specifically for Convene, I’d say connectivity and lag issues are the biggest hurdles the company still needs to overcome. If your internet connection is a bit unstable, it noticeably affects the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I get the most value from Convene because it brings agenda management, board packs, document sharing, voting minutes and member communication together in one place. I can prepare a meeting, attach supporting documents, distribute materials and manage follow up tasks without needing to switch between multiple systems. The Search and Resources functions to switch between locate older information whenever I need it and saves administrative time and keeps our work flow more organized.

With Convene, I'd also to like deeper integrations with other business tools, as well as more built in reporting on usage, time saved and ROI. The platform itself is reliable and the support is responsive, That said, stronger automation and AI-assisted features for preparing agendas, minutes and follow ups would go a long way toward cutting down on even more manual work.

Convene's biggest strength is how it pulls board meeting work into a single, easy-to-navigate dashboard. I regularly use the agenda builder, board books, document sharing in the Resources library, voting, surveys, minutes, and secure member communication. It's helpful to have all of that in one platform, and the interface is straightforward. Performance has been reliable, and the centralized workflow saves time versus juggling email threads and separate files. Support has also been responsive whenever we've needed assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some user profile updates still involve a few extra steps, and it would be very helpful if we could create a board book directly from existing Resources folders. As our usage grows, I'd also appreciate more transparent visibility into pricing and ROI. The core performance and support have been solid, but added automation like AI-assisted meeting preparation could further cut down on the manual work required.

My favourite feature of Convene is that the whole board meeting process is available within a single platform. The user interface makes it simple to handle agendas, documents, voting, actions, and meeting records without having to switch from one tool to another. The way it integrates with services such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and document storage tools also suits existing workflows. Convene AI is particularly useful for producing summaries and minutes, since it helps cut down on the amount of manual administrative work and makes the meetings more efficient.

A aspect in which Convene could be improved is its level of customization and navigation, since it can take a while for new users to locate particular documents or features. The system's performance may deteriorate when dealing with large files, and certain integrations do require additional setup. The prices may seem high for smaller teams, though the platform provides a better return on investment for organisations that hold frequent board meetings. Furthermore, offering more self-service onboarding materials and allowing for greater AI customization would also enhance the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Convene Board Portal since 2020, and it has significantly improved the way I prepare for and manage my Board Meetings. The platform has made meeting preparation much easier by eliminating the need to print large volumes of documents, resulting in substantial cost savings and a reduction in time spent collating, binding, and distributing meeting packs. Convene provides a simple, secure, and efficient way to manage meetings. One of its standout features is the ability to annotate documents and share those annotations, enhancing collaboration among board members. It greatly streamlines the entire meeting process, from pre-meeting preparation to post-meeting follow-up, and allows me to upload documents instantly, which directors receive in real time. I also appreciate its convenience for directors attending meetings virtually, as it supports seamless participation in hybrid meetings. The ability to access documents offline, once downloaded, is particularly useful. The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly, with excellent support from the Convene staff.

I wish Convene offered an online Minute Book feature. The platform's resolution approval feature is missing a critical function for me - it currently doesn't allow directors to sign resolutions. If there were a feature for the Admin or Corporate Secretary to display each resolution on participants' screens immediately after it's tabled or approved during the meeting, for directors to review and electronically sign in real-time, it would be ideal. Such a feature for resolutions would also be beneficial if it could be applied to meeting registers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Convene is useful for far more than just storing board documents. We rely on it for scheduling, agendas, meeting materials, attendance, voting and minutes and most is being able to update meeting materials and make the most current information available to everyone right away, without having to send yet another round of emails.

Convene includes fast a few functions, so it can take a bit of time to learn where everything. After you get used to the workflow, through, it feels straightforward and is easy to naviagte. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
