Time Saver! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kirsten G. | Manager, Board Governance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** BoardEffect allows us to save man hours by having tempalate for all our meeting agendas. This has allowed our team to expand on the work we are able to accomplish before meetings. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** We have had some trouble with Board members downloading the PDF and then being off on page numbers if a last minute adjustment is made. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collation of Board agenda materials. It hase helped keep us very organized. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Kirsten, It's great to hear that BoardEffect has helped your team save time and expand on the work accomplished before meetings.

Works well for our Board and Committee Purposes **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heidi E. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** I like the streamlined look of a finished meeting book. I appreciate the survey/polling function - it really helps with scheduling. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Sometimes I feel like there's just too much detail, and that the platform could be more streamlined. However, that might be due to the fact that our team seems to prefer less bell and whistles. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Saves time and resources when scheduling meetings and providing meeting materials. Creates a comprehensive directory and history of all past and current Board and Committee Members - I like being able to deactivate a user and not have to delete their information altogether - which also saves time if a profile needs to be reactivated. I also like being able to easily request and track meeting and survey responses. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Heidi, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with BoardEffect's streamlined look and survey/polling function. We understand your preference for a more streamlined platform and will take that into account for future updates. - Bella from BoardEffect ### 4. Excellent Venue To Stay Organized and On TRack **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Randy N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** Prior to BoardEffect, we utilized a cloud storage log in for files and paper. BoardEffect has been an effective tool to communicate with my board members before, during, and after a meeting not to mention allows a single location to coordinate meetings, committees, library of files, and news. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Not a fault of BoardEffect because a nature of any log-in process is working through the various levels of skill to log in to any software and utilize it. So I reiterate, not a negative of BoardEffect but it's something to be aware of. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a singular place to hold all information, files, agenda, and notes for board meetings. It keeps everything on track and organized. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Randy, We're delighted to hear that BoardEffect has provided you with a single location to coordinate meetings, committees, and files, ultimately helping to keep everything organized and on track. Thank you for your feedback! - Bella from BoardEffect ### 5. BoardEffect User Since March 2024 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pam S. | Executive Office Administrator / Office of the President/CEO, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** It has a very clean, polished look. It's very user friendly. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Not crazy about the app. Lost some functionality in the app when we switched from BoardPaq to BoardEffect. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** In the app, when looking at the agenda and documents, if you skip to an agenda item that has no attachment, there is no way to know that. BE is working on that and expects a fix out in early 2025. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Pam, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you appreciate the clean and polished look of BoardEffect and find it user-friendly. We understand your concerns about the app and are actively working to address any lost functionality and improve the user experience. - Bella from BoardEffect ### 6. Keeps the Board Straight and on Mission Path **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** billy S. | Organizational Leader- Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** Communication made simple- no longer an option of any board member not having what they need at their fingertips, always have a reply and answer to meetings, attendence and needs. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** That I didn't start using it sooner. BoardEffect has been a gane changer for our organization. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Everything in one place- ease of communication and most importantly making sure each board member has everything they need ti support our mission. Once everything is in place, it becomes such a time saver for myself and my staff- Board Members no longer have an excuse that they don't have a handout, reports or other critical items. They are all at a fingertip away and the reposibility shifts. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Billy, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with BoardEffect! We're thrilled to hear that our platform has been a game changer for your organization, making communication simple and ensuring all board members have what they need at their fingertips.

Simplify your hectic work life! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jody P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** The ease of use, organization of materials and document libraries at your fingertips, easily reachable customer service including fantastic response time, training videos and wonderful reference library to address any questions and the ease of accessing the application on a number of platforms (PC, tablet or phone). If you need to tailor your meeting book options and the choice isn't readily available, Tech Support can assist with a variety of options to fit your needs. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** The initial formatting of the documents can be challenging. But once they are completed, you can save them into your template library and reference them each time they are needed. There are many hidden tools that may be hard to see at the beginning. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** BoardEffect has streamlined how we create, manage and store our documentation. It has also provided consistency with all of documents. Being a CCRC retirement community, we are often asked for documentation from a variety of auditors, legal firms and government agencies. No matter what documentation needs to be provided, it is easily found, able to be printed or emailed and the consistency is like no other. We also use this to upload reference materials for each of our supporting committees that report to our Board of Direcotrs. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Jody, We're delighted to hear that BoardEffect has streamlined how you create, manage, and store documentation, providing consistency across all documents. It's great to know that you find it easy to access and share documentation, benefiting your CCRC retirement community when dealing with auditors, legal firms, and government agencies.

Easy use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** Integration was relatively easy, responsive point of contact. Overall it's an easy product on the user side. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** It would be great to have an option to copying and pasting event information versus having to create them new each time. A user guide that includes detailed instructions on all features would be helpful, too. After implementation I still had lots of questions and it would have been great to have a resource that includes instructions on how to do certain things. A dedicated customer support specialist would be great. I still feel that I don't know a lot of features or how to use them properly. The time/date format when creating events is a bit tricky. I love the survey function. It's super easy to use and really helpful when creating questionnaire - would be great to add a matrix question option if possible. Customer support is amazing! Very responsive with clear instructions for all questions. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy way for user to find Board material and meeting dates in one spot **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi there, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with BoardEffect’s easy integration and user-friendly interface.

Helpful Information **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Teresa S. | Director of Administrative Services and Community Outreach, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** Personalized access to documents for mem **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** # of steps to find items or complete thi **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Less time filling requests for info - it's at their fingertips **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Teresa! Thank you for your positive feedback about the personalized access to documents—we're delighted to hear you find it useful! We're always exploring ways to improve the ease of use of our platform, and we value your input as we look to streamline processes. Your insights are valuable as we continue enhancing your experience with us. - Bella from BoardEffect ### 10. Secure Platform **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Loren B. | President and CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** BoardEffect is easy for users to access and navigate current packets. It is very easy to drag and drop contents in packets and build board books. The ability to track votes and share information quickly with board/committee members is very nice. The app works nice for users and we really like the security of a cloud based platform that is locked down. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Finding past packets/books is clunky and our users struggle to do this. The voting is very tough for most of our board members, so our admins end up voting on behalf of others (at least this is an option) for quite a few of our committee users. We don't even try to use the voting/survey feature with our board meetings because the users struggle way too much to find the tool and then navigate from the voting back to the packet. We also aren't sure why there is a difference between polls and surveys and think the voting process could be simplified. We would like to be able to lock a book once it is published so even an admin can't unlock it since it is then a corporate record. This often happens accidentally because an admin is trying to copy a previous book/packet to build the new packet. This tends to work much easier than using a template, but has its own drawbacks. We would also like to be able to link one book to another without having to copy the entire book and put it in another committee. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need to be able to share very large amounts of information with our board and committees. A board packet can easily be a few hundred pages so it is nice to be able to quickly search or get to the right page in a packet. It also saves a lot on paper printing and mailing costs. Some of pour board members travel regularly, so this BoardEffect allows them to have access to the information for meetings wherever they are. This is also a far more secure solution than emailing PDF packets to our board and committee members. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Loren, Thank you for your positive review about BoardEffect's ease of access and navigation, as well as its ability to track votes and share information quickly. We understand your feedback about finding past packets and the voting process, and we will take this into consideration for future enhancements. We're pleased to hear that BoardEffect is helping you share large amounts of information securely and cost-effectively. - Bella from BoardEffect ### 11. Saving time and energy in Board Document Preparation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** Board Effect has provided an efficient and effective solution for distribution of Board materials and have saved me time and energy in preparation for Quarterly Board Meetings. I am able to get materials to Trustees and Members for various Boards and subcommitees, ensure that we are HIPPA compliant, and can update and substitute said materials instantly. We are saving time and resources and paper and ink as well. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Unfortunately, I am unable to use the Minutes feature at this time based on the need for using our own template but look forward to being able to change or add our own templates down the line. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was spending an exorbitant amount of time, resources, and energy making binders for each Board Member. Plus, in the days and hours leading up to the meeting, if changes had to be made in financial reports, etc, I had to reprint. It was an outdated and inefficient practice. BoardEffect solves all of these problems for us and allows for quick and effective distribution of materials. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi there, We're thrilled to hear that BoardEffect has been able to provide an efficient and effective solution for distributing Board materials, saving you time and resources. We're glad to hear that it has helped in ensuring HIPAA compliance and reducing paper and ink usage. - Bella from BoardEffect ### 12. It does what it needs to **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civic & Social Organization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** The template feature is probably my favorite for saving time when laying out each meeting. I also like the ability to create docusigns that I know are secure for my board members to review, comment on, and approve with a signature. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Only being able to view and save approvals once is frustrating and does not always work on my computer. I often have to log in to the app to do it which makes saving it to my pc much more time consuming. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Paper minimization, option to host virtual meetings with ease, security when sharing documents and information with the Board **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the template feature and the secure Docusign capability in BoardEffect. We understand your frustration with the issue of viewing and saving approvals multiple times. Our team is constantly working on improving the user experience, and we will look into this matter further to ensure smoother functionality. If you encounter any more difficulties or have additional suggestions, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We appreciate your support in minimizing paper usage, facilitating virtual meetings, and ensuring document security for your board. Thank you for choosing BoardEffect! - Bella from BoardEffect ### 13. Valuable tool for executive communication **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bing G. | Executive Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** BoardEffect has proved to be an excellent tool for streamlining communication, keeping my team updated in real time and makling the task of reamaining organized simple. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** The only drawback of BoardEffect that I have encountered after nearly a year is the limited format options for survey data. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** BoardEffect has provided a secure and centralized location for all of our Board files, communication, historical and legal documents. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > HI Bing It's great to hear that BoardEffect has provided a secure and centralized location for all of your Board files, communication, historical, and legal documents. We're happy to be solving these problems for you. Thank you for your positive review! - Bella from BoardEffect ### 14. Informative **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Leslie C. | Executive Assistant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** It is convenient and help keep board materials in one place. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** I wish it can take minutes during the meeting **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** How it generates minutes **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Leslie! Thank you for your review! We’re so glad BoardEffect helps you keep board materials organized. As for taking minutes during meetings, there’s functionality that might meet your needs. We recommend reaching out to your CSM—they’d be happy to explore it with you and show you more. Thanks again for your feedback! - Bella from BoardEffect ### 15. A Great tool for Private Club Governance **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Connie M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** There are many helpful features on the platform for our BOD to utilize, particularly with our meeting books. The BOD have the ability to download and mark up their meeting books with their notes and it can be collaborative as well. All Board materials are easily accessible and organized within the workrooms and libraries. Once you get the hang of where everything is, it's very user friendly. I can even use the platform to run surveys or virtual voting, which is super helpful. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** While I believe it's fairly user friendly, our older Board members sometimes find it hard to navigate the platform. If anyone on your Board is not technilogically inclined, they will need more than one extensive training session. My one critique would be I wish that when building a book, the page numbers would automatically be populated so that it matches with the agenda for ease of locating certain pages. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Board Effect, Board books were assembled manually into a physical book, super archaic. Multiple administrators can now collaborate to build board materials, all documents are archived and can be easily located if someone needs to look back on older files. Onboarding and offboarding incoming and outgoing board members is simple and virtually painless. Board meetings are more efficient and sustainable; each member knows to bring in their own laptop or tablet, reducing our carbon footprint and not wasting paper/ink printing out the board packet. Members have the ability to review changes to board materials in real time, reducing the amount of time wasted during meetings. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Connie, We're thrilled to hear that BoardEffect has streamlined your board governance processes and made onboarding/offboarding board members simpler. It's great to know that the platform has reduced your organization's carbon footprint and improved the efficiency of board meetings. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work on enhancing the user experience for all members. - Bella from BoardEffect ### 16.

Increasing the number of user profiles can get costly. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping all important materials in one location has been an issue for our org in the past.

BoardEffect is a great tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Individual & Family Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** It is a great way to distribute board papers to ensure that there are no breaches by printing or sharing via email. The minute taking module is also very easy to use and makes minute taking very effective and again confidential. They can be reviewed by multiple people again without printing or distributing via email. We also use the library to store historical information so that no matter who is on the board or is Company Secretary the information is stored in one place.

Plus the ability to reference back to materials from past meetings/ events makes the platform that much better. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** There are no complaints at this time really.

BoardEffect great tool for workforce **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tanya R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** I like how user friendly the BoardEffect portal is to create my Department's monthly meeting agendas. As well as creating serveral 'work rooms' for various other meetings throughout the year. It is easy to read and access files needed. It is great to be able to access older files from the library archives. I would recommend for any other workforce that has many meetings within their organization. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Would like to see more options available when accessing the BoardEffect portal via mobile or tablet. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easier access to the meeting agenda and communications online; than having to make hard copies. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Thank you for sharing your positive experience with BoardEffect.

Coming from Director Point , I find Board Effect less functional and less intuitive for users. **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Debra K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2024 **What do you like best about BoardEffect?** The directory is easy to manage. Polls & Surveys have been useful. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** Cannot attach agenda items to specific pages in a document. There is not a place on the dashboard for "files". I would like an easy to locate place to store governance documents/resources such as policies, bylaws, etc. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharing Board & committee meeting materials and governance documents. Board Effect serves as a central depository for the Board so they always know where to find what they need. Board Effect has been a struggle for the Board to convert to and I've received several complaints. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi Debra! Thank you for sharing your feedback on BoardEffect. We appreciate your positive comments about the easy management of the directory and the usefulness of Polls & Surveys.

I also like the security of our documents and our ability to allow certain people access while also restricting others. **What do you dislike about BoardEffect?** I wish there were printed "how to documents". Sometimes you don't know how to look up something you might not know BoardEffect is capable of doing. **What problems is BoardEffect solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a place to store our documents that were secure while also easy to retrieve for future reference. **Official Response from Bella Basso:** > Hi there!

This feature will be very helpful to me. ### 33.

It's a long multi-step process to access the minutes module everytime I need tomake a change.
