### Most mentioned pros

- Offline document viewing on tablets, private annotation capabilities, and granular access control simplify executive meeting preparation.
- As I've started “not flipping through the organized piles of board materials” in preparation for my meetings, using Diligent Board but one secure repository to manage everything has been a game changer for me.
- It saves a ton of time because I don’t have to repost entire packets when one document changes as everything is always up to date and organized for the board.

### Most mentioned cons

- Although certain aspects of the interface are somewhat antiquated and some of the features such as Search etc, take a bit of time to get used to. And there is an occasional lag during peak times of the day when I’m trying to push through rapid fire updates.
- So, to link the same e-mail in different organisations, Diligent required the user approval and that the user informed the organisations which he/she had the e-mail registered. As this information is pointless for the person that is implementing the platform (me) and for confidentiality matters this same person should never had the information, I understand Diligent should check this information by itself or exclude this requirement, keeping only the user's formal approval for linking the e-mails.
- Sometimes the interface seems a bit dated and could do with some better navigation such as when I want to go back and forth between two sections or browse through past documents.

### Essential platform for board governance.

- Reviewed: September 2022

It was quite positive. Before this software creating board packs was extremely manual and needed a lot of user intervention. Any updates that came in late were in risk of not making it in. there was always the possibioity of incorrect packs being used by members. Storing them was also a pain.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It allows you to signup for only the modules that you need. It is cloud based and can be used on any device with a browser as well as native iOS apps. It is very easy to create and update books and to keep them updated across all users to ensure the most recent pack is available.

#### Cons

Some of the user/committee setup needs to be done by customer service. While they are quite responsive it seems unneccessary and they are improving on this. If you have a small board/irregular meetings it may be costly for you.

It has saved me many many hours when it comes to compiling and distributing board books before each meeting.

### A Safe Old School Platform

Generally good - it's certainly up there as one of the preferred platforms used by our clients and our internal team. However I do feel they need to seriously compare their offering to others now available on the market to make sure they don't fall behind.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

A few years ago, Diligent was certainly the preferred provider. Although since the move of all historic Diligent-owned platforms (Board Effect etc) it feels as though there hasn't been a lot of investment in developing the platform to make sure it keeps up with peers.

#### Cons

Compared to other current platforms, it's quite clunky, especially building packs and navigating through them in meetings. The pricing structure also doesn't work for a number of our clients who are now looking to other platforms who provide different fee formats.

#### Reasons for switching to Diligent Boards

A number of our clients hold both direct contracts with Diligent Boards whilst a number of them were automatically moved from historic platforms such as Board Effect.

### Using Diligent Board Makes Preparing Monthly Meeting Packs Much Easier

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Andrei K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 201-500 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: June 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The platform solves the problem of maintaining accurate versions of our board materials including but limited to our voting history, meeting schedule and minutes. By reducing my administrative time spent on manually coordinating tasks, this platform has greatly reduced the time spent on these functions. The platform allows all of us to remain on the same page, because we are never viewing outdated information.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I primarily use Diligent Boards to prepare the monthly board meeting packages (which include confidential financial data) to send to the senior leadership team. With using multiple email attachments for each document; I like the fact that I am able to create an entire board meeting package in one central location and then simply drag and drop documents as needed. This has made it much simpler for the board members to be able to access what they need prior to discussing.

#### Cons

Even though the platform is extremely feature rich, in my opinion the UI looks a bit excessive when you are trying to find a setting or document for the first time. Also, there has been a lot of lag while uploading large financial PDF's or when I need to update the board book in quick succession before the meeting.

### Diligent has really made our meeting process easier

We save money on printing and postage, and I think that is fine. At least I am not worried about the data leaking during those times we discuss confidential topics, because the security is very secure.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The AI for taking minutes is actually working, which is odd because most software like this doesn’t do much of anything. I like being able to take a whole agenda from last months’ meeting and simply change the date. I’ve been worried my iPhone would crash during a vote, so far, no problem. When I need help, I’ve had good luck getting someone to answer the phone at support.

#### Cons

Getting this to communicate with all of our other applications is a nightmare. It’s frustrating that the auto-numbering feature still does not work for agendas. I also hate dealing with the board member who won’t enable two factor authentication (2FA), it creates so much hassle in trying to resolve their issues.

#### Pros

The ease of use and how much this one platform can do. ALthough it takes a little bit to get used to (as with any new software) once you start using it you will question how you have ever gotten along without it.

#### Cons

The formatting within the forms can become a little wonky at times. I wish it had all the same functionality as word.

#### Reasons for choosing Diligent Boards

I had previous (minimal) experience with iCompass previous to going to a new municipality. While in the test phases of each of the others, I couldn't believe how cumbersome they were compared to what I had seen with iCompass. I recommended we start over and try iCompass and everyone agreed.

I find the customer service people to be exceptionally knowledgable, friendly and helpful. Many times when I call and ask questions, they will go above and beyond in an explanation, send tip sheets or provide short cuts. I have even had them say to me, that is an excellent thought processes and way of doing "it", whatever I'm calling about, but then offer an easier solution or another thought or process that may be better or something to consider that I hadn't even thought of. I also appreciate the follow up and/or offer for additional training if needed or requested. My experience has been truly wonderful with everyone I talk to, even in a crunch, meeting deadlines and they almost always answer...I think I only waited one time out of 20 for a call back and it came relatively soon after I left my message. Thank you to the BoardDocs team!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

What I like most about BoardDocs is the ease about using it. I feel its fairly intuitive, easy to pick up on as its similar to other software programs you might use, they have built a great platform for allowing multiple ways to use the product. We have been using the software for almost two years and I would not go back to doing scanned PDF packets on our website ever! I was resistant through several demonstrations or communications with sales people. The last time, I felt that I finally could envision myself using the product and having it be useful, time-saving and user-friendly. I was ready to jump on board!

#### Cons

The software does not allow for a lot of individualization or specialization, such as on the featured page which is similar to having a home page. I would like to be able to customize this page or other aspects of the software more to reflect our own district trends or social feel. I also do not like that once reports are submitted, especially if they have executive content, the person who wrote the report with the content, can no longer see the report they wrote when it comes to making revisions or changing anything if its been submitted and at the meeting can no longer see the executive content even if they were the one who wrote the report.

#### Reasons for choosing Diligent Boards

Diligent was demonstrating at our State Convention and board members heard the proposal and suggested we, as a district, look into it. My Superintendent was amenable and the rest is history. The trainer who came out to us, and I was grateful for the one-on-one, in person training, even stayed for an evening training session with our Board of Education and patiently answered all of their questions!!

It is faster than depending on couriers, non-confidential emails or clunky two-authorization email systems for security. I can create a book, approve and publish it to Directors within minutes. We use it weekly for Executive meetings as well and the material stays confidential with no papers remaining behind after a meeting in the boardroom.

#### Cons

I understand the need to protect confidential documents but I wish there were easier options to print and export PDF items for Corporate Libraries. You can export a PDF but it is not similar to the actual book and tabs you receive on-line.
