I love being able to add links in the library and not just documents. The daily digest is great, too. I love that users can join the meeting from the platform, and access the book in one place online or in the app. The app is great for users, too. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the user or admin interface is not quite as intuitive as it eventually no doubt will be- they seem to be updating things. > > Overall, it's a smooth experience. I love the different ways we can use the library, the various department home pages, and the user maintenance interface is very easy. We really just love using BoardEffect for our committees\! ----- ### "Would not recommend this platform" — 1.0/5 > **Kim** | *24 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: N/A. There is very little to like about BoardEffect. It is basically being used as a document storage because it is so disliked by our Board and staff. > > **Cons**: BoardEffect was never very robust in areas like emails, reporting, making esoteric changes or even basic ease of use. New functionality, that was never really asked for and not very useful (like AI), has always been prioritized over fixing functionality that never worked well. Once Diligent took over, it has become an absolute nightmare to get support or CSM help. I have asked repeatedly to speak with our CSM and never get a call and cannot reach out directly because there is no phone number to do so. > > I do not feel that BoardEffect values their customer base; especially after the change to Diligent. It is definitely NOT the product for non-profit organizations based on the price, difficulty of use and lack of local (or any) support\! They have rolled out functionality that does not work and no one in support even knows about it or how to make it work and then tell you it is not actually included in your package as an excuse for that. Our board members rarely use the platform because they find it cumbersome and difficult to navigate. ----- ### "Was a good platform, until the change to fully incorporate Diligent" — 2.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *20 January 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked BoardEffect a lot more before it transitioned to being fully led by Diligent. It was a good space to keep our board documents and was easy enough to use for even our least tech-savvy members. > > **Cons**: Since the transition in early fall, my senior leadership has been unable to access a link to upload their monthly reports for the board to review. I've raised this issue with the BE/Diligent team and have had an active ticket open for a month and a half. Occasionally, I will receive an email from someone on their team that they are working on the issue, and it could be resolved when they decide to roll out their next update. I requested a customer service rep/account rep who is located in the US for the ability to communicate during working hours, but that hasn't happened. The only communications I receive are at times that are not reasonable to be able to create a conversation about the issue. The work has piled up for me because they have been unable to fix this issue, and the lack of support has finally pushed me to the point where we will be looking to leave the platform when our contract is up. I feel there are many other platforms that can do this simple task of sending an upload link to contributors, but for some reason, this issue is the most challenging they have faced, and the support is terrible. > > Prior to the changeover, it was a really good platform for the basics we used it for. Once the change occurred, it hasn't been efficient enough for our needs, and the customer service has been incredibly poor. ----- ### "Secure and Easy to Use" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 July 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: BoardEffect is secure and generally easy to use for financial institution Board members and staff. The app is user friendly for tablet use and the web version is great for admins and larger viewing. I really appreciate the meeting packet template functionality and automatic agenda updates when changes are made, as well. In addition, the search function is great when coupled with strong doc naming conventions. > > **Cons**: When you link to a library doc within a meeting packet, it pulls the whole doc into the packet rather than actually functioning as a link. Generally, we link to docs that are additional resources and longer than we'd like to include in the packet itself, so a page in the packet with the link to that doc would be more useful. The workroom functionality can also get a bit confusing for users who are in multiple groups. Accessing meeting info via the calendar and search helps solve for that though. > > We converted to BoardEffect a year ago and overall, it's been a great experience. It fills our needs for a secure, easy-to-use platform for board and leadership meeting information, as well as a cloud-based back-up for emergency procedures, and the search functionality has made it much simpler to find previous reports quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/151082/boardeffect?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/151082/boardeffect) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
