    "Easy to Use - Terrific Service"

    Posted 2023-11-22

    Pros: I appreciated I could set up my own trial site, the demo was easy to schedule and informative. The price is 25% of competitors prices, for the same features!

    Cons: Provisioning accounts for Board members was buggy. I would love a feature where votes could be tallied and previewed with annotations prior to meetings.

    Overall: The service and ease of use of this site have been terrific. A bit buggy, but the service has resolved all questions quickly. I was able to build a custom package for the services we need within budget - and the cost is 25% of many competitors, which is wonderful as a nonprofit.

    We want to ensure that every nonprofit has the tools to govern effectively even with limited budgets. We appreciate hearing that the free trial, thorough demo, and price were all helpful in making your decision. You'll be happy to hear we recently released a voting feature that allows you to hold a vote before the meeting to accomplish exactly what you mention here! Let us know what you think.

    "Great software for smaller boards"

    Posted 2023-03-28

    Pros: Easy to set up.
    Integrated documents embedded in the minutes.
    Voting.
    Board Packet.
    No "Per user" pricing structure that eats your budget.
    Guest accounts.

    Cons: Lack of a minutes builder (however, they have assured me this feature soon!)

    Overall: We have just started with this software and are already excited about what it can do for the price. They offer a great grant program to small nonprofits that brings the price for a year down to what a month would cost from the big competitors. This software does everything your small NPO (especially ours which has not-so-tech-friendly board members) and nothing you don't need it to do.

    Before, we were putting the meetings in Google cal, making the agenda in Google docs, using Adobe to merge the agenda, executive director report and any other pages together, then emailing that out. This program will help streamline, save time, and keep everything in one place instead of being scattered around as we had it before BoardSpot.

    If you do anything, start a free trial and make a meeting. Once you start using it, you'll see its power. At first, it doesn't look like it does much, but you will see what it can do. If you are small to medium-sized, it should do what you need it to!

    Thank you for such an in-depth review. I'm happy to say that our minutes builder is now live! We can't wait to hear how you like it. Our grant program has been such an important aspect of BoardSpot from day one. We want to ensure that every nonprofit has the tools they need to govern effectively, even with limited budgets.

    "Great product and great value!"

    Posted 2023-03-09

    Pros: We love how BoardSpot streamlined so much of our communication. It's easy to use, puts everything we need in a clear central location and has saved us tons of time that had been spent tracking down all kinds of documents. We love the product!

    Cons: Would love to see more features added, like to be notified when documents are downloaded and know by whom and have messaging on the platform.

    Overall: Overall amazing, it's the right balance of robust features, easy to use, and reasonably priced. Love it!

    Pros: The functionality of BoardSpot is nice. It is easy to add meetings and team members. You can share meeting agendas and attach documents to them.

    Cons: It could have more features, it's pretty plain and simple.

    Overall: Fairly easy to accept meeting invites and see activity.

    "YMCA usage"

    Posted 2023-02-14

    Pros: Document collection, meeting notes, board member info - all is pretty good and the interface is pretty simple.

    Cons: Document management could be expanded, such as adding folders and permissions. Maybe better board member onboarding, not just to the board, but to help non-technical folks get used to using an online tool.

    Overall: Overall, the product and service is really good. Haven't had to call support at all, so can't say if it's good or bad, but it says a lot about the stability of the tool.

    "Solid software with many capabilities"

    Posted 2022-11-27

    Pros: BoardSpot is able to organize our meetings and document in an efficient manner.
    We are able to link the Minutes of our meeting to the Board or Committee meetings.
    It also gives us the capability to poll or members and RSVP for meetings.

    Cons: It would be helpful to have keyword search capabilities to look for specific items in the data base and also within stored documents.

    Overall: I am please with the software and look forward to new features including search capability.

    "BoardSpot works"

    Posted 2022-09-30

    Pros: BoardSpot has helped us organize our board with one location for everything. It is a central location for board members to find what they need for reference and when we have meetings scheduled.

    Cons: Sometimes it is hard for some members to use and there are connectivity issues.

    Overall: Overall it is a good experience for us. We love being able to store documents for reference. We would love an added feature to allow group sharing of working documents to make it easier.

    We aim for a simple but powerful tool that equips nonprofits to focus on your mission rather than searching for information in multiple places. Thank you for sharing that we are doing this for your organization! We do not yet have working documents, but that is something we are considering. I would love to discuss your member challenges further. If you are interested please chat us from inside your portal so we can troubleshoot and discuss training options. Thanks.

    "A Must Have Product"

    Posted 2022-09-28

    Pros: Ease of Use, User Experience Interface and Pricing. Starting off, the features are good and meet minimum requirements. Would love to see future improvements.

    Cons: Having to copy and paste Zoom details vs having a Zoom Integration or MS Teams, Google Meet option

    Overall: Highly recommend for non-profit users starting off. Love the upload option to add attachments and meeting minutes. Would love to see sample templates for different types of businesses for compliance purposes.

    "Board spot is a really good for basic management for non-profits"

    Posted 2022-09-17

    Pros: 1. Planning meetings
    2. Managing committees
    3. It is a basic site for everyone on the team to get basic ideas about the non-profit.

    Cons: It would be better if we were able to integrate our to emails & other vendors like zoom which we use to schedule all our meetings.

    Overall: As mentioned above, it is pretty basic website where we can find all the information about the non-profit.

    "Completed my setup of BoardSpot"

    Edited 2022-09-13

    Pros: I like the way that the program is set up and the ease of locating information of the other Board members.

    Cons: Trying to get my photo on the page with the other Directors and not succeeding at it.

    Overall: Not too bad, I like the program and feel that it is an excellent tool for many of the topics and information that we cover will be just a click away.

    "Concise, Accessible Board Tool."

    Edited 2022-06-27

    Pros: The simplicity and ease of use of BoardSpot has made board navigation for important documents, meetings, and overall accessibility a cinch for our current Board Directors.

    Cons: I'd like to see all documents, PDF and/or word, accessible without the need to download them first.

    Overall: A valuable, convenient, and important tool for board success. Not an inexpensive commitment for a non-profit, but worth the cost as BoardSpot becomes an invaluable tool for staff and board.

    "Everything in one place - Easy to use"

    Posted 2022-06-27

    Pros: BoardSpot is well organized and intuitive to use. Having all the board information in one place and accessible by everyone is wonderful. Adoption and use of BoardSpot by the board and staff has been well received.

    Cons: It takes a bit to learn how to use the 'create Agenda' feature. The ability to paste an Agenda, or to save an Agenda template, that is used over and over with minimal change, rather than retyping it anew, would be great. Also, the ability to schedule meetings as recurring, rather than having to schedule each meeting individually, would be useful.

    Overall: Having a central repository for important corporate documents and personnel biographies and contact information has been great. Previously, we were using Google Drive, which in use proved to be cumbersome, confusing, and non-intuitive, which resulted in the board not using it as a board resource.

    Posted 2022-06-21

    Pros: The intuitive interface of BoardSpot makes it easy to use. And the platform keeps us much more organized than our previous online tool.

    Cons: I'm too new to have cons. I'm still reveling in this new tool.

    Overall: I would definitely recommend this to other Boards. The customer service support was excellent. We were all impressed with the particular give to our org's specific needs, e.g. adding additional pronoun options.

    "BoardSpot really makes a difference"

    Posted 2022-06-21

    Pros: Everything in one place - easily accessible. So much better than hunting through emails for meeting makers.
    Makes committee structures very clear.
    Support and willingness to add or think about adding new features is outstanding.

    Cons: A way to schedule recurring meetings would be great.
    Not clear if emails can be sent to individuals or groups outside of meetings.

    Overall: Support is terrific. Truly simply to use and easy to teach others. Can't wait until Zoom is integrated!

    "BoardSpot Fuels Collaboration"

    Posted 2022-06-20

    Pros: Our non-profit embarked on a mission to bring our all volunteer board together in one place for both meetings and documents. Easy of use was top priority when searching for a solution. BoardSpot checked all the boxes for us as we launched our first all-in-one tool. For us, BoardSpot replaced a difficult to use document management system for documents and a calendar meeting invites. We often found our members couldn't access the documents they needed and joined incorrect meeting links. Bringing us all together on one platform was been a significant improvement and our time on this system has just begun.

    Cons: I don't have any Cons but could joke that we are spoiled by the BoardSpot team when we need features and updates might be a Con.

    Overall: Overall we love this system. Everyone in the organization from board members to staff users feels we made the right decision with this product.
