Pros

“It sets agendas, creates board packs, votes, takes minutes in real time, assigns & sends reminders of actions, and stores files.”

Rossana R.

Finance Manager

“Secure log in; quick access to folders; timeline approach and record of meetings; not subject to continuous upgrades in comparison to other Governance platforms; ability to store documents in a variety of folders”

George R.

Chief Executive Chair

“I really like how easy it is to use and how intuitively it supports a relatively non-technical user to produce agenda, complete minutes and process all committee requirements. When I've needed to reach out for help, support at BoardPro has been almost immediate and very effective with useful step-by-step instructions to complete the task at hand.”

Suki B.

Grants Coordinator

Pros

“Having used a scheme specific library in the past for storing minutes and documents I find the Knowa system more user friendly”

MARTIN C.

Co Chairperson

“A good experience with the software hinges on getting everyone engaged with it, but once everyone is setup with an account and it becomes a very effective way to collaborate where multiple separate organisations are trying to work together.”

Martin D.

Pensions Actuarial Consultant

“We use the Known governance platform and have found it outstanding, adding real value to our overall pension scheme governance service.”

Andy P.

Senior Pensions Executive

Cons

“I searched the Play Store app, and there is still no Android phone app available for BoardPro that I can use on the go when I don’t have access to my laptop or tablet.”

Rossana R.

Finance Manager

“The platform lacks a chat functionality, which means board correspondence cannot be centralised within the tool.”

Emma R.

Associate Principal

“When I use a set template to create an agenda, I can't edit parts of that template that don't work for me.”

Olivia L.

Project Lead

Cons

“Not a con as such, but I am unable to upload multiple documents at once, however that's probably an issue with me as the user rather than Knowa itself.”

Fran G.

Executive Support Manager

“I don't think you should have the 'stay logged in for 2 weeks' function as this isn't very secure.”

Tia R.

Associate Pensions Consultant

“Our Trustees note that the risk register module is quite difficult for them to read.”

Rachel D.

Actuary
