## Govenda Reviews
  ### 1. Whenever I have an issue they do not stop until it solved

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karla J. | Executive & Board Administrative Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Accessibility: I have people helping me all the time. It's very easy to understand and use. It's good for Audits. Customer support is great! We use this for every meeting.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

We need to be able to have a backup for the system.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Govenda for all the meeting in the Bank.

  ### 2. great software, a must have for those working with Boards

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michelle M. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Govenda has made Board meetings easier and more productive! The interface is easy, intuitive, and provides the one place to go for all things related to our board.

I think the levels of permissions are great and help make sure that only those who need admin level access have what they need to make meetings run smoothly.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

I like the old name better. Still refer to it as boardbookit

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

If you are looking for a solution that makes your work more productive, is housed in one place, and can be used on a computer, tablet, or phone, then look no further. Govenda is all of those things and more.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest problem being solved is making sure all members have what they need before the board meeting. Our old way of doing things had us emailing confidential materials to all members. Many couldn't open because of firewalls on their work side. Now literally everything we need to conduct critical board business is at the touch of our fingers by login into Govenda. The new voting feature has been great and allows us to be limber and respond to critical motions in minutes.

  ### 3. Govenda has been game changing for our organization and operations.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bess L. | Senior Clinical Informatics Trainer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Govenda is very easy to use. During initial implementation they helped us create templates that could be reused. They have 24/7 support and are super responsive to any questions or inquiries we have. The application works across all platforms and is easy to manage as far as uploading documents, users & committees.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

The only thing I've found that we dislike about Govenda is that it does not have its' own built in virtual meeting platform. You can host virtual meetings through Govenda but to do so you need to have your own meeting platform for screen sharing and conference calls. Since Covid started we use Govenda along with another app so everything is not exclusively in Govenda for meetings.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Talk with the people who will be using the application at your organization. Identify their needs and work with your customer success manager to get your Govenda board portal setup and functioning to meet your needs.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have saved so much time, printer ink and paper by moving to this electronic platform. Board members and other committee members receive information faster since not relying on couriers. Administrative assistants have time added back to their day  by doing things electronic and not having to make paper packets or replace pages when updates are made. Updates are real time and board members are quickly notified.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Bess,

Thank you for your review!

We are so glad to hear that your company is saving time and resources by using Govenda, and that the platform is working efficiently for you! We absolutely will share the request for having a built in meeting platform with our Product team!

  ### 4. Positive Impact on Board Relations and Activities!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Naomi S. | EVP Organizational Affairs, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Govenda has been easy to implement, and our Board members have embraced the new technology.  Our meetings are more streamlined and meaningful with improved accessibility.  It is exciting that we no longer have paper board books that were hundreds of pages long.  Participants can make notes to themselves for questions later, and they can make notes that are public to the meeting attendees to prompt discussion.  Annotations assist with making sure the board members can follow along with the conversation easily.  The opportunity for the board members to view documents as they are uploaded instead of waiting for a board book has provided the ability for the board to have more time to review the information, so they are well prepared for any decisions or votes.   The new dashboard for administrative users is a fantastic feature. It puts all the info I need into one place to track and review.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

There isn't anything I dislike about Govenda!   If I was asked for a suggestion, I would say that I would like the formatting of the Meeting Minutes text to work a little better, but I have managed to accomplish what I need.  It works a lot like MS Word, but there seem to be a couple of glitches when you import the agenda as a starting point for developing the Meeting Minutes document.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With Govenda, we have solved the problems associated with having board members located in multiple states. Having a built-in virtual meeting feature has made Govenda essentially a one-stop shop for our organization.    Another benefit is not having to gather paper or electronic files and put them together in a packet.  Govenda saves us the time and money that used to go into assembling the board packets.   The calendar feature and reminders are a great feature to automate the flow of information to our board members.  Additional benefits are automated attendance tracking, task assignment/completion, and reporting for accreditation agencies.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Naomi,

Thank you for your review!

We are happy to hear you are seeing benefits from Govenda and that the portal has streamlined processes for your. We also appreciate your product feedback and will share the request for improving the formatting in minutes when importing the Agenda!

  ### 5. Great Platform for Non-Profit Boards

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dusty F. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

The ease of use in putting together a schedule, and board book materials is excellent. The permission setting on documents is also exellent and easy. People see what they need and don't what they shouldn't.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

When drafting an agenda in Word, Govenda allows the direct import but lines like headers or titles are improperly formatted. You can't just take a document as you would print it and import it in as an agenda without re-formatting.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Govenda is a straight forward paperless way to manage a board of directors. Document management and agenda development are very easy. You will want to pay attention to the permissions and document managment. It is an execllent and easy set up for voting and polling if you need that.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Adoption by the board is a bit slower than I hoped. I have benefited from having all documents, agendas, and minutes in one place and new board members can see the history of Board activity if they wish.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Dusty,

Thank you for your review!

We are glad to hear that you are happy with Govenda’s features around meeting materials and permissions. We also appreciate your product feedback as we are continuously looking to approve! 

  ### 6. Awesome experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vusi S. | Head of IT | IT Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like the fact that I can access and read Board documents anywhere. On a laptop or my mobile phone. The fact that I can also read offline is breathtaking.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

At the moment, I would say that perhaps it would be good for the periodic updates to happen in the background in silent mode. I have noted that sometimes it becomes difficult to continue using the system when they are pending updates. This  issue turns to affect meeting starting time as some Board members use the system once every three months; as such, updates installations delays meeting starting times

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

None at the moment

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

At the moment, we have no problems. The system usage has enhanced meeting preparations, and Board participation is not dependent on physical presence, but meetings are held virtually even if members are at different locations.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Vusi,

Thank you for your review!

We are so glad to hear that your Board is seeing benefits by using Govenda for meetings, and that you are enjoying the offline features! We greatly appreciate your feedback.

  ### 7. Almost there

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wendy C. | Chief Development Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like having all the important meetings in one place, with the minutes and agendas to offer history and context as you build new meetings. Having all the board members in one place and being able to designate them to specific communities is great. The vote function for scheduling being built in is also ideal.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

I don't like that I can't decide what to publish. Our board prefers calendar invites and reminders to come directly from me and might miss the govenda calendar invite, so I end up having to send both invites which can be confusing.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest problem is having a platform that is easy to use to communicate with our most important community members. Whenever we are asked for minutes or agendas from past meetings we can see who has had access and easily send along.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Wendy,

Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that you are seeing benefits from the Govenda platform!

In addition, Govenda’s invites for meeting rsvps can be disabled when scheduling the meeting. To learn more about this, please check out the help section in Govenda by clicking the "?" in the top right corner of your Admin portal. In the Help section you can find our online knowledge base and video library. If you need further assistance, you can reach our Support team from there as well!

  ### 8. They are always improving

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like that you can have multiple meetings, committees, and as many users as needed. It is very user friendly from the member side of the screen. I have never used a competitor's so I do not know how it compares.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Taking attendance while also trying to take minutes is difficult because you have to have two screens of it open at the same time. Building the agenda can be frustrating because you can import your agenda, but it does not allow you to import the previous attachments with it. This makes it difficult if you roll agenda items up through a cascade of committees because you have to make sure to go back in and add all of the attachments again even though you just did it for the previous meeting. I also do not like the new format so much. It can be helpful and does serve it's purpose, but every time I add a new line on the agenda it automatically drops me to the bottome
 of my agendas. If you have large meeting agendas in can be quite annoying to scroll back up to make changes in the section you are working in. Also, when I am in the meeting on my laptop and save the minutes, sometimes I come back to my work computer and the formatting is all off from the laptop to my computer.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We reduced our paper and binder usage for meetings allowing us to streamline agendas and documents from one meeting to another. It allows are board members to access all needed documentation prior to the meeting in one spot. This is handy for members who are in multiple committees.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review! 

We are happy to hear the Govenda platform is streamlining your meetings and board/committee documentation. We also greatly value your product feedback and have submitted your comments to our product team to further improve the platform!

  ### 9. Quick Response for an error message

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like that we can download all documents to a meeting agenda.  This allows meeting attendees to view on their computers.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

I wish that Govenda would send an email or post a notification when they are aware of any issues / problems.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When we have had problems the last two weeks and submitted a ticket to the Support Team, they have been able to fix and advise within a quick time frame.

  ### 10. Great Customer Support Specialist Team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Safety | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I have found Govenda's Board Management portal to be very intuitive and the Govenda's Support Team to be very attentive when responding to your questions and/or concerns.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

At this time, I do not have any comments in this section.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

The JULIE Board and Staff have found Govenda to be very user- friendly and comprehensive.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I had a question about completing a "Vote" for a meeting poll and was reminded that I may also utilize the "Proposed meeting" feature as well, which makes more sense.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review! 

We are happy to work with your team and appreciate your feedback!


  ### 11. Govenda for Board Meeting Organization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sheretta E. | Executive Assistant to CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

What I like best about Govenda is the onboarding process that helped me get acquainted with the program. I also like that there are videos that demonstrate virtually every process/function within Govenda.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

There is not much I dislike about Govenda. What I needed was a clearinghouse to store board meeting documents for historical reference purposes and with Govenda, I got that.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problem I've been able to solve is having to resend previous documents to board members via 1:1 emails. If they have a need to review a previous document, they can access it on-demand through the Govenda portal.

  ### 12. Great tool to organize meeting agendas and documents

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

The agenda creation tool is easy to use and I like that you can assign it to a person for them to add attachments.  I also like taking minutes and inporting the attendance into the minutes and then importing the minutes into the next meeting(s).

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

The new look has taken some time to get used to.  We just figured out how to assign committee admin rights so people are limited in seeing only the information for the committees that they are involved in.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

It is a great tool to help organize meetings.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy access to data, reduced time in emailing information for meetings.  Many of our board members are very happy with the app they can use on their phones.  We have reduced the amount of paper copies we need to print for meetings.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review!

We're glad to hear you have been able to save time and paper on your meetings and that the app has been convenient for your board!

As a reminder, there is a help section you can access by clicking the "?" in the upper right-hand corner of your Admin portal, this page includes some great video tutorials that have all been updated to match the new look! In addition, information on how to reach support can also be found on that page if you ever need assistance.

  ### 13. Govenda has been extremely easy and efficient for our board members.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

It makes running our board a lot easier. The ease of uploading documents adjusting meetings makes creating the agenda easier. The digital platform also has been ideal since our meetings have turned virtual.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

There seems to be a glitch in the software. When a boardmember/user who signed minutes is removed, their signature is removed from all past minutes that were signed and approved. This has resulted in missing signatures fro the one user removed. We have not received a fix for this issue as of yet.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

This system is complete. It takes all of your needs for a board management system and incorporates them in an easy-to-use cloud-based system.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The fact that all board business is in one spot. Govenda, is becoming the primary source of board documents for current and new members.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review! 

We are happy to hear the Govenda platform is easy to use for your members and that it has helped with creating meeting materials more efficiently for you!

In addition, we would like to learn more and troubleshoot the signature issue you are experiencing with the removed user. We would appreciate if you could reach out to our Support team through the “?” in the top right corner of your Admin portal so that we can look into this further. 

  ### 14. Simple to use, user friendly interface

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

The latest update has made the appearance and the functionality much better! It looks more up-to-date and cleaner overall. The whole system is simple to use and didn't require any training, it is self-explanatory.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Sometimes when adding agendas, the sub agenda items are challenging to navigate and don't always end up in the places I want them. I have had to delete entire agenda items to try to make the agenda more cohesive, and it can sometimes be a time suck.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Upload your documents to your agenda items vs. to the meeting itself - it makes it easier to navigate!

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Govenda to import board meeting materials and efficiently organize our meetings. It's helpful due to the fact that it can be used by people with different platforms and computer systems.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review! 

We are so glad to hear that you are happy with the new appearance of the Govenda portal and that it has been easy to use and efficient for you and your team!

Along with the new design, agenda items have more editing features in terms of dragging and being able to edit multiple items at once, for example indenting sub agenda items. If you would like further assistance to enhance your experience with agenda items, please feel free to reach out to our Support team through the “?” in the top right corner of your Admin portal!

  ### 15. Just learing it now

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I guess it's use works well with groups giving and receiving important information.  I like that it has many functions, even if some of them will be challenging to learn.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

I'm just learning it's useage now, the dashboard has me a little confused, but that may just be me.  I'm sure once I practice it will become eaiser to understand.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Perhaps more intensive training?

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm really not having any problem yet as I haven't exactly used it.  We will be going through some training first.  I believe the benefits are that we can share information and attachments as a secure group.

  ### 16. Great product!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa L. | Data & Prevention Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

We can keep agendas, minutes, and documents all in one place. Surveying the various groups is easy as well. I appreciate how easy it is to use Govenda and resolve any problems quickly.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

You cannot see the survey results without going into each individual to see how they answered. It would be helpful to have the ability to generate a report of the answers for a selected survey.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having the minutes of all the subcommittees in one location allows our organization to be transparent to the entire coalition. The meeting announcement, the agenda, and the Zoom link all in one place in Govenda has cut down on the number of emails I have to send.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review! 

We’re happy to hear that Govenda has streamlined your communications and provided your team with an easy method of surveying and accessing materials. 

Govenda offers an excellent Survey Analytics product add-on that includes the ability to generate various reports and graphs for survey results! Our support team can be reached by clicking the "?" in the upper right-hand corner of your Admin portal.

  ### 17. Govenda - the go to place for software reviews

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roobini V. | Engineering Project Coordinator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I really like the interactive setup of the portal. It's ease of use in the fast-paced corporate environment is a game-changer. The dashboard is really user friendly to upload documents and makes meetings more organised.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Wish there was a calendar invite to send in emails. Also if we can have an onboarding tutorial for people not familiar with board portal technology - that would be helpful.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is one of the best board portals. It conveniently brings the team together and can be used on multiple devices. The performance has increased by bringing together the different groups varying from the corporate office to the onsite facility from various states to the same meeting.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Roobini,

Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that you are happy with the Govenda portal and that has helped your organization! 

We truly appreciate your product feedback and will share your comment regarding calendar invites with our Product team. In addition, Govenda has some great training and support resources that you can access through by clicking the "?" in the upper right-hand corner of your Admin portal. 

  ### 18. Great Board Book Portal!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

The Govenda portal is very user-friendly and the user guides provide all information needed.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

My only dislike is the inability to apply different colors, fonts, and formatting to specific, single-word text.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Great product. Very cost-effective and extremely user-friendly.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am solving the distribution of our Board Book materials to our board members quickly. This includes providing the most current and up-to-date changes and/or revisions to documents & agenda items. It also resolves the problem of having e-mails going back and forth...leaving many board members without the most current information for meetings. Having all board materials and documents in one place and easily accessible is a life saver!

  ### 19. Govenda has everything available where you need it!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Deanna W. | Professional Development Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like being able to upload documents easily and send out mass emails to committee members.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Searching around is sometimes difficult but that's only because a lot of people share Govenda at the office.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

It takes a little to understand the navigation of Govenda but it's also self explanatory so once you understand it, it's very easy to maneuver around in.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problem solving, benefit is emailing members.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Deanna,

Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you are happy with your Govenda experience! 

  ### 20. Great tool for our Board Portal

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like the fact that all of our Board Members have 1 place to find out about meetings and information about our organization.  This is the only application I've ever used for a board portal.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

I currently am struggling to do all the things I could before the latest upgrade. It's just taking a little more time to figure out where everything is.  I don't currently have any recommendations for changes.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have one place for board members to see their meetings.  It does save us time from having to individually create board packets. We have increased productivity with everything being in one place.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review!

We are happy to hear you are seeing time savings and increased productivity by using Govenda! If you ever need assistance, our support team can be reached by clicking the "?" in the upper right-hand corner of your Admin portal.

  ### 21. Ease of Use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Janis V. | Compliance Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Govenda is highly user-friendly. We have staff that recently began using it; it was so straightforward they only needed minimal training from existing users.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

The only problem I've ever had is the need to "publish" a book in two places instead of one.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sharing meeting documents with our Board as well as other third parties was never this easy or as secure.

  ### 22. I administrate Govenda for several boards and sub committees.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

It is super helpful to have everything related to the board meetings in one spot.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

It can be clunky and limited in its scope. For example, I often will have two sets of minutes for one board meeting (one for the board only and one that is published to the community). But I am only allowed to save one minutes document within the agenda.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Govenda is a great one-stop-shop for managing Board documents and votes.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Again, the most helpful thing is to have all of our various board and sub-committee information in one place. That's hugely helpful.

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review! 

We are glad to hear the Govenda platform is helping you keep all of your information in one place. We would be happy to work with you on a solution for your minutes documents, please feel free to reach our support team through your Govenda Help section to connect with us!

  ### 23. Compliance Coordinator/Investigator I

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kim H. | Compliance Coordinator/Investigator I, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

The ease of creating the agenda and sending board reminders.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

At this time, I do not have any dislikes.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Govenda has alleviated the need for creating thumb drives and mailing to the Board members.  The ability to upload the agenda documents to Govenda instead of sending on a thumb drive also makes the document more secure.

  ### 24. Best Board Management Software I have seen!!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

It has been a game changer for us in working with our board. The ability to build an interactive agenda, attach necessary files, meeting notice, and user engagement features has made board meetings, voting and internal communications so much more meaningful and efficient.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Would be great if there was a messaging feature in the app or portal so that members could communicate directly. Would also be helpful if there was a note taking/to do list widget within the app so that notes didn't have to be annotated.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

I highly recommend BoardBookit to those considering. They are constantly updating features which only helps to improve productivity of meetings and ease of use. I have not found anything better.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Board members are more engaged with the process during board meetings. We have found that that they have become more likely to review materials ahead of time, reference other documents available to them and even engage in more meaningful ways. It has eliminated the need for us to print materials for meetings and be able to have members offsite view materials in real time with onsite members. 

**Official Response from Caitlin Brunner:**

> Hi Nikki,

Thank you for taking the time to review BoardBookit! It's incredible to hear how transformative you've found BoardBookit to be for fostering engagement and creating more meaningful board meetings. We'll be sure to pass along your suggestions to our engineering team for future updates and enhancements. Thank you again!

  ### 25. Govenda - easy use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I love the feature that I can put in meeting details and only share once I'm ready. Having to upload several meetings and working with high-level executives, it makes it a lot less stressful

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Nothing, so far. I would say it's easy to use and user friendly

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm centralizing everything for our board members. In my opiniom, a benefit is that it's like a checklist to look overall and make sure nothing is missing. Another benefit is the place to add third party video conferencing!

**Official Response from Jennifer Araujo:**

> Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear you are enjoying your experience with Govenda!

  ### 26. #GoWithGovenda!

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Govenda is super user-friendly! Love how easy it is to navigate, edit & add documents.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

No spell check is available in Govenda or I just haven't figured how to use it or where to find it.

  ### 27. Easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Commercial Real Estate | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Helps keep your board docs organized, schedule meetings and conduct surveys.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Too many buttons to click in order to complete surveys. I believe you have to save your answers and then click submit. Would be nice if they had one button. A lot of participants think they submitted their survey, but it will show that it is incomplete. Having just one required button would solve this issue. The survey feature in Govenda is a neat tool nonetheless.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping documents and board meeting minutes organized.

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Voting capabilities are good and apps are user friendly

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

Admin side is difficult to use after the last "upgrade." The recent changes appreciably downgraded our experience.We aren't happy, and Govenda doesn't seem to care.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

It's nice software, but beware that their enhancements may not be to your advantage.  If they are not, Govenda does not appear to have solutions to the problems their changes create.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Voting for various committees with remote voting members.

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

Some of the updates were not upgrades. It's incredibly difficult to see how much time has been allocated to each agenda line item which is a pain when planning.

Central location for all committee members to view information, including Board members who do not have full access to the network.

  ### 45. Intuitive and user-friendly board portal

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael O. | Administrative Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

The platform streamlines many of my administrative functions involving communication with the board. I like the ability to import a previous agenda into a new meeting as a template and to import previous minutes into the agenda. 

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

The word processor for creating Minutes leaves much to be desired. The document is pre-formatted and difficult to override the settings, and there is no way to view the coding to determine why formatting goes wonky. I often draft the minutes in a Word document then copy and paste the text back into the Minutes template, but the formatting is not retained. 

Would like the ability to create a meeting amongst individuals without first having to create a group for that meeting. Would also like to be able to include attachements in emails sent via the portal. Would also like the ability to upload fillable PDF forms to the Documents folder. Currently, anything uploaded there becomes a non-editable PDF file, but would be great to be able to distribute forms via the platform. This may be solved with the soon-to-be-released survey feature.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My board has 40 trustees residing in disparate geographic locations. Board Bookit has allowed me to reduce the number of steps it takes to complete routine tasks and communications with the board.

**Official Response from Caitlin Brunner:**

> Hi Michael, 

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that BoardBookit has streamlined communication and routine tasks for you and your board! We'll be sure to pass along your suggestions to our engineering team for future updates an enhancements. Thanks again!

  ### 46. An essential tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa O. | Board Chair, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

There are so many things that i love about this product that it's hard to say what is best. The board meeting tools make developing and modifying the agenda super easy.  Attaching documents and creating agenda templates is efficient. Having a repository for critical documents that ensure organizational history is a relief.   

All that said, one thing that has really knocked my socks off is the tech support - always super helpful and focused on creating a positive customer experience.  

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

The thing that I dislike is not within the product but it's hard to get some of our older board members accustomed to using technology and learning a new tool.  i honestly don't know the solution to that problem.

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

An exceptional product!  Highly recommended. 

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It creates efficiency - board agenda templates, easy to modify are one example.  Another is the ability to maintain our critical corporate records and parse out permission to access. 

**Official Response from Caitlin Brunner:**

> Hi Lisa,

Thank you for such a positive review! It's so wonderful to hear that our board meeting tools including agenda creation and a repository for historical documents are making your job easier. 

Also, our Customer Success team would be more than happy to schedule some time with board members who are having a hard time making the switch to BoardBookit. We can walk them through every step of our functionality and hopefully make it easier for them to adopt! Thanks again!

**What do you like best about Govenda?**

I like that all of our important documents and contact information is in one place for all our board members to access at their convenience.

**What do you dislike about Govenda?**

I wish there was a tutorial on how to use BoardBookit for my board members. 

**Recommendations to others considering Govenda:**

Take some time to train your board members how to use BoardBookit. Don't assume they'll take the time themselves to get familiar with it.

**What problems is Govenda solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BoardBookit has streamlined my board meeting prep which saves me a lot of time. I especially like the Minutes feature that allows me to upload our meeting agenda to use when documenting the minutes. 

**Official Response from Caitlin Brunner:**

> Hi Jill,

To other users using boardbookit i recommend utilizing all training aspects given.
