Everyone I have spoken to that has used BoardDocs gets on great with it. > > **Cons**: The software is a little slow but the overall experience was good. > > Easy to use, relatively good price, saves a lot of time with paper work. ----- ### "My review BoardDocs" — 4.0/5 > **Yaseen** | *20 June 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best aspects of BoardDocs is how it centralizes all board material is one easy to access location. I love that it eliminates the need for printing and distributing copies which saves time and resources. The searchable archive is the most helpful feature of BoardDocs. It is easy and quick to find past agendas, meeting notes, and other supporting documents. The layout is also very easy to navigate even for the public. BoardDocs is so easy to navigate through. I especially like the search function when I need to find a specific item that has been previously approved. I also like how the user receives policy updates through the Pro version of Board Docs. > > **Cons**: At this time, I do not feel that BoardDocs is lacking in any area and it was actually quite easy to teach to all the other users. While BoardDocs is a great tool, there are a few areas that could be improved. At first when using BoardDocs, it is somewhat difficult to learn especially uploading and organizing the content. It is also isn't as customizable as I would like for our district's needs. That said, once I got familiar with the system, it works smoothly and delivers great value. > > Reviews are generated by real users. When reviewing a product, users are asked to assess the product’s overall quality, which includes assigning specific ratings for ease of use, value for money, customer support, and functionality. ----- ### "BoardDocs review" — 3.0/5 > **ville** | *19 December 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: BoardDocs (by Diligent) is a specialized cloud-based board management solution designed primarily for the public sector, including local governments, school boards, and special districts. It is widely considered the industry standard for organizations that must operate under public transparency laws (like the Brown Act in California or similar "Sunshine Laws"). Easy to use. > > **Cons**: Dated User Interface (UI) Compared to newer, "sleeker" SaaS platforms like Boardable or OnBoard, the BoardDocs interface feels somewhat like a legacy system. While it is functional, it lacks the modern, intuitive "look and feel" that younger board members might expect. 2. Mobile Experience While BoardDocs is web-based and accessible via tablets, it does not offer the same level of seamless offline reading or annotation capabilities found in native mobile apps of high-end corporate portals. The PDF viewing experience on mobile devices can sometimes be clunky. 3. Learning Curve for Admins Because the system is so powerful and customizable (especially the approval workflows), the initial setup and training for the Administrative Assistant or Board Clerk can be intensive. It is not a "plug-and-play" system; it requires a disciplined setup to work correctly ----- ### "Simplifies Board Operations, Though Some Features Could Improve" — 4.0/5 > **Chun** | *27 October 2025* | Import & Export | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate even for new users. Search functionality makes it easy to locate past agendas and minutes. What I personally like the most is that they provide secure access controls for different user roles. > > **Cons**: Mobile experience isn’t as smooth or feature-complete as the desktop version. what I dislike the most is the occasional system lag or downtime during peak usage. > > My overall experience with BoardDocs has been positive. The platform provides a reliable and efficient way to manage board materials, streamline meeting preparation, and ensure all stakeholders have timely access to the latest documents. It has significantly reduced our reliance on paper and improved transparency in our governance process. That said, there’s still room for improvement in areas like system speed, integration with other tools, and overall interface design. Once you’re familiar with the system, though, it’s a powerful and convenient solution for managing board operations. ----- ### "Simplify your Board Management" — 4.0/5 > **Brandi** | *24 November 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use for the entire district. The ability to be paperless and manage agendas and be transparent. > > **Cons**: The product has served us great to this point and do not have any specific things that are disliked. > > Great experience and streamlines agendas and transparency. Makes life easier for all in the district. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/162578/boarddocs?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/162578/boarddocs) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
