What made us choose Convene was the unparalleled meeting experience that it offers. We wanted a seamless board meeting experience and we got that from Convene. Another aspect we found very useful as an organization is how easy it is to upload documents during board meetings. It was able to fulfill our organization requirements and board members are very pleased with their experience with Convene.
OnBoard is especially helpful when there are a lot of supporting materials for the meeting and if most of the attendees are members [of] OnBoard. If [any] of the attendees are not members, then it might not be the best option because you would still have to provide [a] hard copy for the non-members.
'Join via Zoom' and 'Join via OnBoard' are confusing to users.
'Edit Agenda' should be in more locations than the top of the agenda so you don't have to scroll all the way up to get to it. OR the option to just click to edit and not have to click 'Edit Agenda'.
OnBoard is user-friendly and meets all of our needs as an organization. It resolved the monthly struggle to prepare, print and mail board packets to up to 13 members. It resolved the issues presented when agenda and packets needed amendment prior to board meetings. We are now easily able to built a packet each month and modify it as necessary right up to the meeting time.
OnBoard Board Management Software appears to be very user friendly. The layout allows for easy access to a number of areas via the left side of the page. Admins are able to customized the main page so that the most vital information is available to users when they log in. Setting permissions is easy.
I haven't needed to contact OnBoard customer support many times because it's user-friendly and functions as it's supposed to/sold. On the occasions I've contacted customer support, they have promptly answered the phone or my email. In one instance, a board member couldn't access OnBoard prior to a board meeting and customer support was able to resolve the issue in the 10 minutes prior to the meeting. In another instance, a board member wasn't able to get the system to recognize all answers to a completed survey which prevented a compilation of results. Customer support viewed the member's screen and ran an error log to figure out the issue.
Implementation was easy and I was able to do it alone without OnBoard customer support, although customer support assistance was offered and available. The platform is very user-friendly and doesn't require assistance to implement in my opinion. The biggest hurdle is getting invitees to access the invitation email and set up their login.
As our Board only had confidence in pen-and-paper prior to this implementation, the benefits are obvious (higher security, better collaboration, remote enablement)
While some evaluated competitors included the same features as OnBoard, they were complicated to use and navigate. Being adept with technology and having trouble with them in demo versions, I couldn't imagine presenting them to board members who work primarily with paper and are used to paper packets. OnBoard was substantially more user-friendly and intuitive to use. Other competitors evaluated didn't offer the integrated survey and electronic signature features that OnBoard does. These were must-have features for us when choosing a board management platform.
Our non-affiliated recommendation of Convene has saved our clients a lot of dollars and resources. You have no idea how much it means for nonprofits, charities, and value-conscious companies and organizations to have a solution as good, yet as reachable, as Convene.
