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.

"Modest Learning Curve & Good Support"
4/5

I do wish there was more automation of some of the routine tasks.

What do you dislike about Diligent Boards?

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.
