As a non-profit organization, utilizing Diligent's Board Effect platform helps keep board materials streamlined and up-to-date. It is easy to use and, best of all, accessible to blind and low vision users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Diligent's Board Effect can be clunky to use, especially regarding the agenda creation portion. Very difficult to get the fonts right, and there are not many options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didn't have enough feature innovation often Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The basic functions of the product are generally easy to learn and use, so the upfront learning curve time is not too involved. Product support (e.g., for administrative functions) is always solid with pretty quick turnaround when you have a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do wish there was more automation of some of the routine tasks. Also, some of the more advanced features can at times be confusing to learn and I sometimes find myself reaching out to their support team as I don't want to make a very consequential mistake on something I was unclear about.

Directors no more receiving notifications when book is been updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Diligent to prepare for 14 board and committee meetings each year. The best feature of Diligent Boards is the ability to update documents in real time. The product updates continue to provide great new options, such as drag and drop for manipulating uploaded docs. Questions are answered quickly by Customer Support. It is easy to learn and use.

Easy to build a book and work on documents prior to publishing.
We like the ease of managing users and their capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use the resource center to hold documentation - recently we deleted a file and found out there isn't a way to recover. when deleting files from the resource center it would be good to have a message that pops up to say "are you sure, file is not recoverable" Also in the resource center, it would be nice to have subtabs of tabs. Renaming files in resource center would be helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
