Blackbaud is an in-depth project management system and helps keep our contacts, notes, client history, scholarship donors, etc. all in one place.

Great tracking software for Graduate admissions.

The Reviewer portal is a bit cumbersome. Our departments scholarship committees find it difficult to use.

The system is very user friendly and the staff are very helpful and supportive.

Working more efficiently (no errors, make awards quickly and timely)  and reporting is easier.

I am most impressed with the accuracy and depth of the results. One word to describe this software is “personalized.

I used to be able to call and get someone on the phone or online chat with someone. Now, I always have to leave a message and never get anyone on the online chat.

It helps us manage the both the application and selection process for over 150 different scholarships. It's easy for students to apply and for donors and selection committees to review.

Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to use. Like the ability to add notes, and ease of making changes.

I love Academic Works the more that I use it. I am very happy that this is the software we chose.

I have missed updating dates in the application from year to year.

I love the ease with which you can create and modify applications, the post-acceptance feature, and user messaging abilities.

It can be hard to track where scholarships are in the process.

The website does its job by assisting and managing in the process of offering scholarships. It is easy to use and very intuitive.

This is a scholarship software which is very useful for the institutions.

Making changes is super easy and the ability to add notes is great. Customer support is also excellent.

This is a good system for our University. Even sporadic users (professors that need to login to review an application) can move through the process quickly.

Easy to identify eligible applicants, great features , ongoing enhancements and fantastic customer service.

We love the software because it is easy to use, and has revolutionized our process. The main reason we love the software is of the excellent customer support and service that we receive.

This system has been a wonderful in increasing efficiency and improve donor contact.

Academic works has provided me with the confidence that my students are getting some of the best help they can to find scholarships.

The interface can be clunky and often times, setting up a new scholarship can be problematic (redundancies don't always prevent transcription errors).

Takes a lot of set-up time on the front end and if your college hasnt provide ample support, its a lot of work for a few people.

There are occasionally errors when I upload documents, however the problem does not occur often.

We have enjoyed a very positive experience with Onboard. You are assigned a customer support manager that reaches out to you and listens to any suggestions that you would like to see.

The product is great and integrated smoothly. Adoption of the product was the biggest challenge.

The integrated zoom is a huge bonus. We also love being able to keep everything in one place and clear out emails.

We are only slowly moving into all the features, to keep our transition seamless. The ease of use is very important and evident with both me and with the team of 19 others using it.

OnBoard has been wonderful to deal with - their customer service is supreme (easily the best out of every service provider we are currently working with).

Experience has been very positive. Everyone has been nice and very helpful in answering whatever questions I have.

The color printing alone was very costly as the packet grew in size over time.

It's compatible with all the browsers we use, its mobile app is superb, and when compared to other board portals we've used, it provides more capability at a lower price.

All Adobe Acrobat bookmarks and markups including highlighting, comments, and added text are stripped out and lost when these documents are uploaded.

OnBoard integrated with our existing business processes and board requirements, it is extremely user friendly, administration has been easy thanks to the amazing support staff.

I would recommend OnBoard to any of my peers. We don't touch nearly all of its capabilities, but so appreciate how easy it is to share information securely with our board members.

The system helps build your meeting agendas and you can attach documents for the meeting attendees to view during the meeting. We are very pleased with the product and would recommend.

Above all, the customer service has been fantastic from exploration to implementation to now customer check-ins. The price is pretty good too.

The ease of access by both the Admin and the board members is probably at the top of the list of great attributes of the OnBoard portal.

I especially like the ease of the software, the ability to upload documents for the meeting is a great feature.

I love the agenda builder. It is nice to have access to the agenda on the event itself.

The inability to use the gallery view is very disappointing and the sound/video quality is poor with the integration. It works will when Zoom is used separately however.

This saved me a ton of time printing and collating and mailing board packets. Also saved the company money.

I don't have anything about it I dislike or have a problem with.

Making changes to the book once it is built  is a huge plus. Zoom integration along with the ability to control who sees what and when is an excellent feature.

The ease of use for staff is what I like most about this software. They have done an excellent job of reducing redundancies.

I am confident that I will become more familiar with sections of OnBoard as I use it more. The assistance that comes from OnBoard is terrific and very helpful when learning.

Great program and value. I did all the research in looking for a board portal and was pleased with this from the beginning.

We have had a great experience with the OnBoard team and the software. Support has been excellent and the product serves the purpose we intended for it.
