## Reviews

### "A board management software that delivers unparalleled excellence" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *3 August 2018* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When we switched over to Diligent, we were expecting a bit of a transition period. But we were pleasantly surprised that everyone found it so easy to jump into this program because the design is so intuitive and very little training was required to operate it. The software has also has gorgeous and elegant aesthetics which makes it very appealing. &#10;It's a fast and secure way to handle sensitive information. Our board members are able to access the information both in online and offline mode, while TouchID ensures that only those who have permission can see them. It also allows us to move away from a paper-based environment which are also a security risk.
> 
> **Cons**: I think the years that the developers have spent studying how board members work and interact has truly paid off because you have a simply outstanding software that serves its customers well. I think the only thing that could possibly make it better is if they increased the scrolling speed when you’re looking through a lot of files.
> 
> Outstanding\!

### "Our board still keeps us in line and organized" — 4.0/5

> **Tatsiana** | *28 October 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use Diligent Boards to run our board meetings, designing and distributing materials to gathering approvals and signatures. The coolest thing is how easy it is to both tweak and share board books, even at the last moment. It saves a ton of time because I don’t have to repost entire packets when one document changes as everything is always up to date and organized for the board.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the interface seems a bit dated and could do with some better navigation such as when I want to go back and forth between two sections or browse through past documents. Some of our less tech savvy directors still have to be reminded about how to access or sign materials but that can slow you down.
> 
> Gone are the days of wrangling a board pack comprised of multiple PDFs in an email thread. It provides me with an organized, up to date single location in which to store and share everything, So much more efficient for board prep and communication. It’s simplified our governance process and eliminated a great deal of manual work that we used to have to do before every meeting.

### "My Samsung tablet doesn't work" — 3.0/5

> **DANIEL** | *19 December 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The app is easy to navigate and files can be accessed when offline
> 
> **Cons**: I have a Samsung tablet and the app doesn't work because of a software bug.  I was told they're working on a solution but no results so far.  I travel for our meetings and rely heavily on my tablet.
> 
> Very satisfying when it works but because of tablet issues I have to give it a downgrade.

> 
> **Pros**: Very intuitive, easy to use and we receive great technical support from the team
>

> 
> As mentioned above, we are very satisfied with Diligent and often recommend to others in the same industry.

### "Diligent Boards has been a professional life-saver\!" — 5.0/5

> **Andrea** | *18 December 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is incredibly user-friendly and comprehensible, so much so, that I rarely need to reach out for assistance regarding functionality. Further, the customer service is responsive with impressive follow-through.
> 
> **Cons**: Occasionally there will be an unexpected update to the system, but only once did this cause and issue and it was quickly remedied by the team.
> 
> It has made our D\&amp;O Questionnaire process so much simpler and efficient. Truly a life-saver at year end\!
