Boardable Reviews & Product Details

Boardable is the best because the storage and files sharing integration is a lifesaver for our board management workflows, we can pull out documents directly from OneDrive and that means we do not have to deal with version control issue and manual file sharing. During the virtual board meeting, the time management tool (the pace keeper) is making sure we don't get stuck on one topic too long and it will automatically reminds when the meeting should be end and keep everyone focused on the most important decision to make. I also can say that the voting system is incredibly easy to handle formal approval and record the result instantly, nothing is complicated and the system is straightforward. The task delegation's implementation is smooth, its allow me to assign tasks to specific members with skilled that it need to complete the task, just as what we discuss on the meeting. We use Boardable for every monthly meeting that we have, the first session wasn't as smooth as now, thankfully their customer support is able to to support us via phone call to walk us through the features.

If I need to make comparison, the mobile apps version is limited compared to the web-browser app version, it is easy to view the meeting agenda's but to navigating and viewing a board packet isn't the best, it keep loading the screen and less intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Boardable is they constantly getting better and better for board management and board's virtual meeting platform. The meeting scheduling has completely change how we are organizing our meeting, it coordinates with everyone's calendar to find the best time for our monthly meetings. Once the date is set, the agenda builder builder allows me to create agenda details and topic so the meeting will follow the topics and not taking too much time. Integration with Google Calendar is available, all new meeting date and time is automatically synchronize and I can make better preparation before the entering the meetings. Implementation is quick with several assistant from the customer support, they are just a phone call away and always eager to help with any of our issue and question. Boardable has saved us hours of administrative work afterward, we use it 3-4 times a month for seamless meeting management and easy connection of video conference and meeting.

Some issue with the tools like branding customization is still have no changes from my initial usage of Boardable, the option is limited, I would like to have settings to change the interface color and font types. Additionally, the auto-capture minute notes is a great time saver, but a final proofread still needed to ensure every line is 100% accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Things that I like about Boardable is with the engagement insights that is useful for me as administrator, I can see every board members activity like if they have opened the meeting packet or opening password protected document before the meeting start. It is good because we can notify them to do it and reduce the time wasting during the session. Integration with Google Workspace is a huge plus, making it easy to connect with the sync calendar and to access files directly form the shared drives. The implementation is much easy than I expected, I am able to setup our first virtual meeting and inviting every board's members just in couple days, all is thanks to simple interface and assistant from customer support that responding to every question about the features thru the call support. We are not using it too heavily right now, 2-3 times a month for regular monthly meeting and some emergency session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization for branding is quite limited for now, only some font changing and logo display is supported, need more option to change color to match-up with our company color theme. It wasn't a pressing matters, but would be nice if it is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Boardable help to make it easy for board members to hold a virtual meeting and managing board operation and needs, every board members have their own workspace that they can use to manage dedicated tasks, private discussion, access to meeting agenda and meetings packet containing meeting document and materials. Zoom Room integration simplify virtual conference setup and operations, implementation is quick and takes less than three days to complete all the setup and configuration. Using Boardable for monthly board's meeting is our new standard because all what we need for effective meeting is available on one platform with reliable customer support reps that always available to solve issue on the platform like disconnected network or unauthorized access.

Initial operation and members participation is quite slow at first because it is hard to convince our senior members to use the virtual conference video and meeting, they only trust a face-to-face meeting for session confidentiality. After all the training and few virtual meetings, they are more welcoming to the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Boardable helped to improves board connectivity by virtual board meeting that allow members to attend meeting easily from anywhere. Setup is done easy, only require some configuration to run it smoothly. Google Workspace is integrated, I can share files and meeting document confidently knowing all files is securely protected. Creating meeting agenda, recording minute meeting and task distribution is available in one interface. Quick respond for support ticket for any bugs or tools issue, take less than 3 days to solve any problem on the platform. We use it for monthly board meeting and emergency meeting that require quick decision by the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Require board members to spend time to learn and attending the live board training, time that our members don't have but still need to clear their schedule to attend. Thankfully, the session can be done virtually, not to physically visit their office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Boardable helps with long term board administration as opposed to individual meetings. We have many places where we have used it regularly to archive governance policies, committee notes and board resolutions as far as each meeting cycle is concerned. The amount of features can preserve a reference of board decisions throughout the year. Once implemented, our leadership team is able to go over previous discussions and be aware of the way some decisions were made, and this has enhanced continuity between meetings.

One of the weaknesses that I have observed with Boardable concerns the examination of past board information. As our organization has been using the platform over the years, numerous meeting records and governance documents are stored in the platform. Seeking a particular discussion of a previous meeting may take some additional time when I use it more often before the meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most impressive thing is that it offers transparency and organization to board processes. All meetings, documents and task items are well exposed to the corresponding members and this ensures accountability is kept straight. The features provided enable me to assign follow ups, make comments on proposals, and maintain a history of discussions. Since it is used often, accountability is enhanced by the frequency of use and enables decisions to be made without the needless back and forth communication.

One of the challenges that I have observed is the fact that high level permissions and notifications are not always simple. The high level of features is useful, although it may be inconsistently used by the members of the board, resulting in something being overlooked. These little holes are apparent given the fact that it is in constant use. Additionally, it may be rather time consuming to format or arrange documents needed during meetings which sometimes is an additional burden before every meeting.

Boardable is unique in that it enhances accountability in our board. Being an operations manager, I always have to check the assignments and the result of the voting, and the abundance of options that surround the participation tracking is quite helpful. People can make meetings more effective with the help of automated notifications and structured meeting agendas. With Google Workspace, everyone can use it without any misunderstanding of the right documents. It makes everyone aware of his or her duties and can minimize misunderstandings in the activity of board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the weaknesses I have observed is that some operations like uploading a large number of files simultaneously or setting up the notifications are tedious. Introduction of user roles could not be done carelessly, and this took more time to set up. Members may not always see the entirety of reminders or updates, which provides little spaces in communication. Such problems do not halt the work of the board, yet they sometimes force the personnel to waste some time in making things clear or resending documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way Boardable makes our processes of governance official. Board communication used to be disseminated in emails before it was used. At this point, it can be said that meeting preparation is controlled and documented with frequent use. The features that made approvals and task follow ups enhanced the responsibility of members. We also incorporated it into outlook calendars to coordinate the time table, and it did not take much upheaval to our routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What worries me is that options of document presentation are somehow limited. Although it has good governance features, we sometimes make good reports individually and upload them later. This additional measure is also a bit of inefficiency to our preparation cycle and a burden to the administration, as we do that most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aspect that strikes me about Boardable is the sheer amount of features that concern governance in particular. Task tracking, e-signatures and committee management are commonly used by us. The connection with Google Drive enables us to create updated financial documents and connect them to the email without sending unlimited emails. Although implementation involved a definite setting up of roles, once it was done, we used it more often since board members could now have one stable place to meet and read materials prior to the meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Boardable has one weakness in that there is limited scope of customization. In the implementation exercise, we discovered that we did not have the capability to completely customize workflows to our internal approval process. This affected our work since we were required to change some of our routines to meet the platform. Besides, the ease of use is satisfactory when it comes to simple tasks but advanced functions are limiting. Integration is effective but in case of synching problems, it may postpone the preparation of the meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
