It's customizable depending on the org's needs. It's secure. It flows. The platform is what one makes of it. > > **Cons**: I can't say I dislike anything about this platform. It's designed based on clients' needs. Everything works the way it should and in the 2 years I've used it, I haven't had one bad thing to say. > > It's a brilliant platform\! And the support team is absolutely incredible\! I've never experienced such wonderful people, who are patient, informative and friendly. ----- ### "Cornell University" — 5.0/5 > **Sheila** | *4 August 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is, for the most part, an all-encompassing platform to hold a lot of different information. It seems that our constituents find it someone easy to navigate once they get the hang on it. > > **Cons**: I don't like that you can't alter a survey once you've received a response, and the fact that the server goes down at the most inopportune times, without notification that it's down so we can be better prepared to answer questions when we receive inquiries from our constituents as to why they are not able to log in to BE. > > Overall I'm pleased with it however I wish we had a bit more flexibility with running reports. I'm still learning how to navigate reports but feel I keep hitting roadblocks as it doesn't quite let me do what I need it to. ----- ### "Change back" — 3.0/5 > **John** | *24 February 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the usability of the previous version. Since the change to the new Diligent one platform it is not as good > > **Cons**: The new version is difficult for my directors to use and function in well, making meetings less satisfactory and less effective > > Positive until recently, this new version is not acceptable and does not meet our needs as well as the previous version ----- ### "Very User-Friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *10 July 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The organization of the platform and how user-friendly it is. I am the BoardEffect Administrator for MyMichigan Health and am able to manage all workrooms and assist users with ease. > > **Cons**: I would like for users to have the opportunity to reset their own password when they have issues logging in, rather than doing it as the BoardEffect Administrator. > > Fantastic. I began using it 9 months ago and feel very confident in all aspects. I also appreciate the customer service that I receive when I have a question. ----- ### "BoardEffect has been a game-changer\!" — 4.0/5 > **Omar** | *8 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that documents are securely stored within the platform. It makes it easier for Board members to find specific documents. > > **Cons**: 1. I wish there was a way to update one document that is stored in multiple places, and it be updated everywhere. Instead of having to edit each document individually in different places. 2. I wish there was a way to integrate BoardEffect and external platforms like Microsoft Sharepoint so it is easier to edit documents. 3. It would also be nice to be able to see older drafts of documents that have been edited. That way, we can see the changes that have been made with each document. > > Overall, BoardEffect has made our efficiency much better when it comes to Board meetings. It has been great to see our technologically hesitant Board members embrace the simplicity of the platform. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/107725/boardeffect?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/107725/boardeffect) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
