5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 What I needed was a clearinghouse to store board meeting documents for historical reference purposes and with Govenda, I got that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to organize meeting agendas and documents"
5/5
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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Govenda has been extremely easy and efficient for our board members."
4/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jennifer Araujo of Govenda

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.

"Simple to use, user friendly interface"
4/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jennifer Araujo of Govenda

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!
