"Incredible tool and irreplaceable people"
5/5
What do you like best about Zeck?

The tool is priceless for me. I began using the tool for internal meetings and for those of our advisors. After an abrupt change in leadership, I needed to use it for board and investor meetings/calls. The templates are very easy to use and the system overall is intuitive. Rebecca has been over-the-top helpful in all things Zeck and offers very helpful information. The onboarding and transition has been so much easier with this tool and Rebecca's help.

What do you dislike about Zeck?

There are usually great suggestions on other uses for Zeck. It would be awesome to have a library of templates that could be used for those other uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Allison Capaldi of Zeck

Hi Terri!

Thank you so much for your incredible review. Funny you mentioned templates, we're working on that as a project right now. We've had so many customers use Zeck for not only board meetings, but all-hands, investor updates, fundraising pitches, documenting their family vacations, leadership meetings, etc. Ok, I made one of those up. But really, it is a game changer for all use cases and we're so excited that you're seeing that as well. Let us know if you need anything and we'll be the fastest to ever respond.

"From Hours to Minutes: Zeck in Action"
5/5
What do you like best about Zeck?

Zeck has been transformative for our Board materials prep and meeting planning. Previously, we dealt with outdated methods, producing bulky 80+ page PDFs that were cumbersome to create and tedious for our Board to review. At our Board Chair's suggestion, we explored Zeck and found it to be a game changer.

As a small nonprofit with a one-person Board support team, I was excited about a more straightforward compilation process. Zeck streamlined our editing and solved issues like large file bounce-backs. Mitchell and Rebecca made onboarding seamless, ensuring I was comfortable with the software, my team was well-trained, and we had access to educational resources.

Zeck’s user-friendly interface was easy to learn, even for our less tech-savvy team members. Rebecca’s support in training my team, both individually and in groups, was invaluable. The software enabled real-time collaboration on laptops and phones, provided a consistent format, and simplified our editing.

The analytics gave us insights into how our Board engaged with the materials, while the comments feature allowed for pre-meeting discussions. This helped us prepare better and understand our Board’s needs. The website format allowed us to quickly navigate and share materials.

Zeck reduced our preparation time from 8-12 hours to just 2-3 hours. We plan to continue to use this for our various Board and committee meetings, as well as to create an easy-to-access digital Board resource archive for our Bylaws, charters, committee lists, directory, and etc.

I can't recommend Zeck enough—it has been a lifesaver. Thank you, Zeck team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeck?

The only area for improvement is in the minutes book features. It would be helpful to have a filing system for each committee or group and a way to search the minutes record. However, I’m confident these features will evolve as Zeck actively seeks and incorporates feedback. Overall, using Zeck and collaborating with their team has been a dream!

Response from Allison Capaldi of Zeck

What do you like best about Zeck?

Zeck is easy to use on the front end, developing the agenda package, but even easier on the back end for the user. Such an intuitive design, serving as a repository for all Board meetings. It was exactly the product I was looking for. Support has been remarkable. From the very beginning it was all about a successful implementation, and Grace, my Zeck point of contact, was helpful on every front, though I honestly didn't need much help given how simple it was to use. I look forward to expanding my use of the product into a variety areas throughout my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeck?

I wish it had an undo button. That's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No more dreaded board prep with Zeck!"
5/5
What do you like best about Zeck?

Zeck is an amazing tool that transforms the board prep process. Everything is so simple with Zeck. The app prompts you on how to create meaningful meetings and materials, makes presenting the information an absolute snap, ensures that dircetors have everything they need without needing to remember passwords, allows you to add additional materials that populate in the link directors already have, saving you from sending endless e-mails, it's just wonderful!

Zeck has saved me countless hours of prep and what I love most is that I can create a copy of a prior meeting and then just adapt to the current quarter's information. This is so efficient and also ensures that our board receives the same format every time, making it very simple for them to process the information.

What really sets Zeck apart is the FANTASTIC customer service. The people at Zeck truly go above and beyond every step of the way, from the first info session to the ongoing support. If I have a prolem, I can contact my account rep and will get an almost immediate response. No outsourced call centers, no poeple who talk to you like robots, real people that you have a relationship with - honestly some of the best cutsomer service I have ever experienced.

Well done Zeck - you have created a much needed tool that simplifies a difficult process and have managed to somehow make it fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeck?

Nothing!

"Saved us from board meeting hell"
5/5
What do you like best about Zeck?

The best part of Zeck is that it provides an opinionated format for running our board meetings AND a way to drive interactivity leading up to and following the meeting. It's a breath of fresh air to have a structured mode of interaction with the board and a way to get the awkward questions out of the way in advance.

Before Zeck, our board meetings were either tense and stressful or a total no-op -- as if they could have just been a cursory email instead of a whole day commitment.

As a bonus we get can be sure we're handling our documents and voting in line with the correct procedure.

Board meetings are now actual interesting discussion with engaged members who come with questions and thoughts. We can drill into the real issues which is a real change.

Plus the team is incredibly responsive and always happy to help or give advice, not only on the software's features but on effectively running board meetings in general.

TL;DR: It's a structure and a mode of interaction enforced by the software itself, freeing us up to have meaningful discussions in the meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeck?

I can't think of any major downsides. I can imagine some additional advanced features like automatic cap table management... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it brings an ordinary presentation deck to life and it just makes you look more sophisticated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeck?

sometimes you want to just upload an existing presentation (especially early on in the adoption process) but it doesn't have the capability to do that...BUT their customer success team (Rebecca is the best!) is second to none and they are willing to do this for you and much much more.
