What do you like best about BoardEffect?

being able to publish meetings electronically, saving on paper. it does what we need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BoardEffect?

no longer allowed to do password resets for members since new platform change. could on the old platform. migration to the new platform is confusing at times. required everyone to reset password or reregister an account on board effect. created a lot of calls and walking members through the re- registration process. since the new platform we have way less flexibility for managing the members now. please bring all those features back.

I had to edit my review to add that, some of the questions of this review is imposable for me to answer. as our members don't use most of the features listed in the review. however, there was no way to skip or mark "not applicable" for these questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
