BoardPad (discontinued) vs. Dropbox DocSend

Everyone is very busy and BoardPad takes the stress away of trying to find all the documents relevant to the meeting. It sends everything to the app, so you can find it straight away on your iPad. Excellent and effective navigation and sets tasks accordingly. Everyone is aware of the actions that [have] been assigned to them. Excellent piece of software that has made meetings more enjoyable.

It's super great for sharing sales collateral, investor pitch slide decks, and other one-time viewing content. It's mainly built for sales but has been a huge benefit as a small startup. It best for PDF content that is okay to be horizontally oriented and scrolled (e.g. the forward and back buttons are on the side of the viewing interface).

Great support and customer service.

I haven’t used the support as our internal teams do a great job of fixing and supporting our DocSend use.

Our organization previously used ClearSlide but switched to DocSend as a cost savings. It was not made clear during the sales process that DocSend does not natively possess audio conferencing or screen-share capabilities. We had to add on the join.me integration after the fact, which has not worked well. When our contract is up with DocSend we will be moving back to ClearSlide
