Pros

Thus the ability to access and share information securely and seamlessly is one of the greatest attributes of the product.

Chidi O.

Country Head of Legal & Company Secretary

Customer service is amazing. Like the ability to reuse templates so I don't have to re-type everything.

Shay K.

Executive Assistant

It's an awesome software and I'd totally recommend for any company secretary. It's worth every buck invested.

Elizabeth E.

Executive Trainee

Cons

I'm frustrated that the web version and one-click are not identical yet and wait for the day that the web version can do the drag and drop the same way that one-click does.

Lynda G.

Board & External Relations

My only criticism would be that i do have concerns of how documents we upload on a PC may appear visually on the users iPads.

Jessica C.

Senior Company Secretarial Assistant

As we are a not-for-profit organisation and not a listed company, we don't use all the features but there is no aspect of the software that we don't like.
