Our commitment

Independent research methodology

Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“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.”

Chelsea G.

Director

“It allows us to send board documents to our board members to review prior to the Board Meetings and keeps us all organized and informed.”

Audra L.

Executive Assistant

“The calendar is nice where you can see what meetings are coming up and I as the coordinator appreciate the RSVP button and the Teams link option as our board members sometimes have to join via Teams.”

Cons

“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. ”

Bonnie M.

“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.”

Kim P.

Executive Admin

“The transfer to Diligent Boards - this was an automatic move from Diligent as it no longer supported its historic platforms (BoardPacks etc).”
