## Reviews

### "Easy to Use" — 4.0/5

> **Beverly** | *07 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's both user and admin friendly. Our \[sensitive content hidden\] members found the interface to be easy to navigate, which is very important to us. The support team has been helpful and the training was self-paced and easy to follow.
> 
> **Cons**: The permissions settings are great, but as an admin you do have to be conscious that you basically have to set up permissions for everything you add to OnBoard. It takes time to get used to this.
> 
> Our experience has been great. The implementation period and building out the site was fairly simple, the training was easy to follow, and OnBoard staff ensured we were on track before we actually went live with the product. It is user friendly and the board has had a positive experience with it so far.

-----

### "An Upgrade" — 5.0/5

> **Suzanne** | *11 April 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: OnBoard has streamlined meeting creation with tools such as duplicating meetings, drag-and-drop both PDF and Word files, agenda import, and user-friendly agenda customization.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be better if there was a streamlined way to add past meeting books to the resources section. That's where the meeting archive is collected after being downloaded and imported from the previous board software. As it is, meeting history is divided in two locations. There is also no ideal way to search through the content of past meetings.
> 
> It improves our user organization and accessibility.

### "It's very streamlined for a small education centre." — 4.0/5

> **Blerta** | *30 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having the agenda builder is a lifesaver before board meetings. I can Copy a lesson plan or curriculum material directly into the meeting material. During board meetings, our director likes to be able to annotate PDFs that discuss new courses. Plus the value is exactly what we need in our budget bound education, we've spent less than what we used to spend on print materials.
> 
> **Cons**: When I'm uploading samples from multiple language books, sometimes the document upload freezes. Technical support is set to respond within 2-3 days, however this is to be frustrating in making urgent presentations to the Board. I got tripped up with how to find meeting minutes in the interface at first, then it took weeks.
> 
> OnBoard provides us with enough functionality for our small language school for our monthly board meetings. It may be less than ideal, but is better than emailing dozens of attachments. The digital signatures feature is useful when approving new instructors' contracts. Good if you don't demand immediate responses to questions and can accept the occasional bug.

### "OnBoard vs. Diligent Boards" — 3.0/5

> **Sara** | *14 April 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: That is a good program to be a repository for information.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not enjoy the layout and was not worth moving to this program from our current.

-----

### "It has worked and it hasn’t crashed yet" — 5.0/5

> **Tatsiana** | *12 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The section that allows you to simply drag documents into a binder and create something within seconds is alright. It’s 4 hours since I’ve left this meeting space and my coffee has gone cold as a result, however I’m relieved that the questionnaire reports appear without manual manipulation of the data. It also puts all the calendar and governance items together in one place so I won’t have to dig through my cluttered inbox again. The phone application appears to work whether or not the WiFi dies in this building, therefore the Directors will at least be able to view their papers.
> 
> **Cons**: If the uploaded images aren’t exactly 300 dpi, it doesn’t correct them but rather reject them. And I am sick of reformating things five times. Also, putting all newly added content to the Resource Center at the bottom of the list is completely nonsensical. When there are large binders, it becomes slow and laborsome to scroll through them.
> 
> It’s better than we used to print an enormous amount of paper, although we still jam frequently. It encrypts the confidential information so that others cannot access C-Suite documentation. The ability to replace pages at the last minute without notifying the Directors of this fact is the only reason why I haven’t lost my mind today. It provides real-time competitor insight, which I never thought would really work but it does.
