## Reviews

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

> **Matt** | *August 3, 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\!

### "Diligent Board review." — 4.0/5

> **Maria** | *March 28, 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Document exportation. Communication and meeting management among board members is secure. Agenda sharing between board .Easy to get used to it.
> 
> **Cons**: I have nothing much to dislike about this platform apart from that AI does not predict agenda, everything else is good.
> 
> This platform has helped me create meetings improving collaboration with board members and export documents.

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

> **DANIEL** | *December 19, 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.

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

> **Tatsiana** | *October 28, 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.

### "Diligent Board" — 4.0/5

> **Amber** | *April 4, 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Was easy to learn without any prior training.  Simple format makes it easy to maneuver around in the product.
> 
> **Cons**: Slight nuances in creating links within an agenda package and the questionnaire feature has limited functionality.
> 
> Overall it's a good product.  Have been using for almost 4 years, would like to see a more modernized application and additional AI features.
