So far so good! All my expectations have been met and the upgrades have been really good. Looking forward to seeing more optionalities.
it keeps my board in the know and current with all documents. I have one upload and they can come look at the documents or past minutes/agendas anytime.
Would be nice to have a collaboration site. This would enable the board to add ideas and chat about certain topics.
Thanks for this great feedback and the feature suggestion. I have sent your collaboration tool idea to the team. So glad our recent releases have improved the portal for you and your board.

The best "feature" BoardSpot has is their customer service team. They are amazing. Very responsive, really listen to our feedback, and always offer solutions to any issue that arises. We are excited about this new relationship!
BoardSpot is easy to set up and easy to use. Most all functions are very self explanatory. It's features are competitive with many much higher priced options.
The portal seems a bit new so I think some features that may be useful are still in the works or coming very soon.
We really appreciate hearing that you have had an easy time setting up your portal, and that our team has earned your trust. We are honored to partner with your organization!

I think this will be a great addition to our JCC board experience.
Knowing where to easily find all of the important board documents and information.
Just the learning curve of how to use and find everything.
Sheryl, thank you for this feedback. We would love to learn more about the learning curve. I will email you to set up time to hear more.

Our board has used it for just over 2 yrs now; what a relief to have everything current and past stored in one location and easy to find.
Someone else created the perfect program for {perhaps} inexperienced and/or volunteer boards that makes it easy for everyone to use.
I do not have any "dislikes" about BoardSpot. I appreciate this tool that is handy for a volunteer board member.
We want to ensure that every nonprofit has the tools to govern effectively and get things done easily. Thanks for this feedback!

Our nonprofit board is better able to focus on our work, organize documents, and coordinate meetings.
It's excellent for our nonprofit board; I only wish our church (with a much smaller budget) could afford to use it.
John, so glad your board service has been improved with BoardSpot. Since day one we have had a grant program for organizations with smaller budgets. Please contact us and we can talk about options for your church as well!

An easy-to-use, user-friendly platform to keep track of all important board information -- members, contacts, committees, documents -- in a way that is simple and appropriately accessible for everyone. I love this tool and we've only just begun to use it. It has already saved me so much time. Plus, the customer service -- sales, onboarding, and responsiveness to questions -- has been outstanding.
The only down side I had initially -- the lack of an integrated Zoom link -- has been addressed since we joined. So far, I don't have anything I don't like!
Saved you time! That's music to our ears! And we appreciate knowing our customer service has met your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to write this out.

The ease of Board of Director files and meetings with everything in one simple place
The features are so simple to use and easily defined.
Have not found anything yet. Thus far this program seems to outshine what we were using in the past. It is hard to find a CON..... only all PROs/
It's delightful to hear our intuitive and easy portal is full of PROs and has no CONs! Thank you!!

Having everything (board bios, documents, meeting/event calendars and zoom links, etc.) available in one place takes much of the nuisance out of being a trustee
I can't think of anything I'd add at this point.
Our mission is to help nonprofit boards focus on impact rather than administrative tasks. Happy to hear we are doing that for you!

The sales people were very friendly
BoardSpot is very easy to use. The ability to have all our materials and meetings in one place is so helpful!
I wish there was an ability to modify documents online.
Document organization is on our roadmap for development in the new year. It's great to hear that your portal makes Board meetings easy and resources accessible! Thank you for the feedback.

We hope that our use of BoardSpot allows us to provide lighter board meeting packages by putting more cyclical elements on the porta.
We like that it is fairly intuitive. It was easy to set up, and the price is reasonable for a smaller nonprofit organization such as ours.
I wish it would go right to the "Board of Directors" page when one logs in.
Thanks, Dennis! Our meeting packets and document storage are intended to provide exactly that, as well as quick and easy meeting setup, meeting invitations, and agenda/meeting packet creation. So glad you are finding value in your portal!

We are able to post important documents before meetings, so that board members can review and be prepared to take up a business discussion. Our meetings are much more productive and efficient.
I love that there is a central location for all of our board documents. The total is very easy to use.
I'm new to the platform, and still learning about all of its functionality.
Productive and efficient meetings are critical to good governance, and it makes our day to know we are helping your board govern more effectively!

As a relatively new Trustee to this institution, it is so efficient for whatever you may need for a current meeting as well as documents that have been created in the past that may be referred to by others.
I love that all docs, agendas, minutes and calendars are easily accessible. Also, that everyone's contact information is easily available. Having everything in one place that it easy to navigate makes pre meeting preparation a breeze. No more searching through tons of emails to acquire all of the docs needed.
Great product. Nothing to complain about...
Thank you, Janet, for sharing from your Trustee point of view. You are who we made this portal for! And I am delighted that we can help make your service easier and more efficient, so you can focus on getting things done - not searching your inbox!

Outstanding.
Comprensive solution, ease of use. I love that everything is in one place (Dashboard).
So much functionality it takes awhile to learn it all.
We appreciate this feedback. We think the portal is comprehensive and intuitive. Glad you feel the same. And we offer free training, if you or your team ever need it!

Very useful.
Access to calendar and attendance signup.
After using all of the functions of this program I am not certain that I was able to logout of the web sight due to the lack of directions for doing so.
We appreciate hearing that you are enjoying the calendar and meeting RSVPs. Thank you for pointing out that the logout was not easy for you to locate. Currently it's under your profile at the top right of every page. Feedback is welcomed and important, and we will look into whether other users are having the same experience.

Pretty non-invasive sales. The product did the trick.
The board members can access it, and I have octogenarians who are not tech savvy.
Not much to say here but it is a great solution
It's so great to hear that your board members - even the non tech savvy ones - can use the portal easily! We have built a tool we believe engages everyone in your board, and getting your confirmation makes our day!! Thank you!

It's been great, and I have referend at least two other nonprofits to board spot.
It truly is the most cost-effective way for small nonprofits to manage operations!
For what we do, I have found no cons. Its a great resource.
It makes our hearts happy here at BoardSpot to know we are equipping small nonprofits to govern effectively and focus on impact! Our grant program has been in place since day one. Thank you so much for the kind words and your advocacy to other organizations, so we can serve them too!

Easy enough to use that everyone can access and view calendar, meeting minutes, etc
Sometimes we dont get all notifications, it is pricey for the function
We appreciate knowing about the notifications. We have the ability to check on the email delivery for each message sent. In your portal you can submit a chat and we would be happy to troubleshoot this with you. Glad you like the other portal features!

my overall experience has been great
The software is very user friendly. Onboarding was effective and vital.

BoardSpot allows for immediate review of documents including Agency policies.
The only feature that might be missing and could be added is an automatic follow-up reminder for committee and board meetings.
Thanks for the idea, William, of a meeting reminder. We have added this to our development list. Thank you for the feedback!

Overall, we have loved BoardSpot and I have adopted it as the board management software that I use for several of the boards that I sit on.
I love using BoardSpot to simplify the management of documents related to board business. Our team is small and finding an affordable yet comprehensive platform has made managing the board of directors much easier.
As of right now, we have not found anything we do not like. We have requested that the platform add a connection to Slack or provide an in-house discussion platform.
Thank you, Turner. We appreciate this positive feedback and are honored to serve your organization with an affordable yet powerful tool!
