Useful, practical, and easy to use.
Allows me to focus on my governance job.
- BoardPro makes coordination and logistics of board meetings and papers easy for board members
- All info in the same place and and not mucking about with lots of different systems and software
- As a user I have no major gripes
- It works for me
Why they chose it
"I use both these other tools in one other board role each. I currently use BoardPro for 3 boards. Diligent is good but expensive. Also seems to require more administrator skill and expertise to set up and use well. Not a big fan of BoardTrac. Seems a bit limited in functionality - but maybe I just haven't invested enough time to understand it and its features fully. And therein lies one of the reasons I like BoardPro - because I can spend most of my time and effort in just using it rather than learning how to use it. Very intuitive."

BoardPro -- the ONLY affordable Board portal solution
Easy billing, available extras like free continuing education programs on governance, and while they have higher paid programs they do not try to upsell you. Customer support is available through text. Note that they are an Australian company, so there are some word-spelling differences ("organisation" vs "organization") and their regular business hours are not convenient to Americans, but this is a minor inconvenience and actually something I like about them.
- BoardPro is the most affordable of all the board portal programs
- It is a bit more bare-bones than some other programs, but it fits our needs and does so for a fraction of the cost
- It keeps tracks of meeting schedules, agendas, and added documents for review
- Our Board members are able to access the information for the meetings, and the system sends them reminder notifications automatically
- The program works well for us
- It is a bit more bare-bones than other software, so aesthetically there are a few things I would change but they are insignificant
- The thing that I like least is that there are a couple of programs that are available for an upcharge that I would like to be included in the basic program
- The one that I would most like included at the basic rate is the add on that allows Board members to vote online

"The only cost-effective version -- others were unaffordable"

Best Practice Board Reporting at a Fraction of the Price
BoardPro drives our governance reporting in a tidy, timely and cost efficient manner. It's been great.
- As a cloud based resource Boardpro allows all our Directors and their respective support teams to access board papers and make comments/mark-ups effortlessly without printing 100's of pages needlessly
- It's standardized best practice design helps drive better governance
In early days there were several feature lacking - the BoardPro team has listened and now gotten well ahead of what we think is missing to actually providing new features we love but would never have thought of asking for

BoardPro: One Year In and Going Strong
It is a lot of work to prepare meaningful board and committee meetings, BoardPro alerts our members in advance, and provide the opportunity for pre-meeting review of supporting documents. When in the board meeting they are able to access the meeting and documents on their laptops, and follow the discussion in real-time. It allows for deeper board engagement, their eyes are no longer glossing over from an abundance of paper packets and content.
Ability to organize board meetings with supporting documents for each committee's report
Would like to be able to create a MASTER board meeting or committees' meeting, and then enter a recurring date range, or enter custom dates and have the software duplicate and repeat for the entire calendar year
Why they chose it
"We did a comparative analysis of the features, flexibility and the price point and decided to give BoardPro a shot."

Good value for money
Very good, had plenty of positive feedback from our board members
- How easy it is for our Board members to navigate the product
- That the interest register isn’t linked between committees and sub committees
Switched From
Cost, we have a large number of users and the cost per user for Stellar vs the Cost per Board for BoardPro made a huge difference. Secondly, the functionality was really good.
Why they chose it
"Cost -onboard was another product that was a cost per user. And we have over 200 users so the cost difference between BoardPro and OnBoard was huge."

Very good product but would love to see it improve
Overall, the experience has been positive. The ease of setup and the user-friendly nature make it a good product. However, I would like to see some enhancements, such as the ability to write and change reports attached to agendas without having to reload them.
Ease of use, clean dashboard, offers of mini training sessions, ease of customer service
- The inability to amend Word documents, like in Sharepoint, and having to reload changed versions
- This is something Harbour Software, with their DocAssembler product, offers
- Also, I would like to use it more widely, but the cost of each separate committee is prohibitive for a not-for-profit
Why they chose it
"Still considering long-term use and may move if another product proves more effective and offers better pricing"

BoardPro best for our nonprofit org
Excellent product! I compared to others and by far the best one for my board management. I’m secretary of the board and it makes my life so much easier (and board members love it)
- The cloud capabilities to work on agendas and minutes from any device at any time
- Also the ease of scheduling next meetings and connecting to each other
- Cloning agendas is a great feature but would be nice if I could see the status and notes of cloned items so I don’t have to open another screen to compare prior results
- Also it’s frustrating I cannot switch an agenda item from discussion-type to voting-type
- (It forces me to open a vote-type and copy paste the content)
Why they chose it
"Ease of use and features set … had better features to make me more efficient"

BoardPro review
My experience as a beginner to BoardPro, a Director and experienced Governance professional is that it is an intuitive system with all the extra helpful options I need in my role/s.
- BoardPro is an intelligent system and very easy to use
- Administrator Cannot see which users have logged in and when

A board decision to make the switch. Out of my authority
Why they chose it
"Value for money with all the functionality"

BoardPro doing all the hard work for you!
Easy to use, easy to figure out, and if in doubt you have an assistant to help you.
- It creates the Agenda for me
- So easy and able to drop the files in
- probably the font, and the overall look
- Quite hard on the eyes, feel like it could be outlayed differently
Why they chose it
"It was recommended to us from another private hospital"
