Keeping the meeting organized

4.0 last year

Comments: Overall, I've had a good experience. I've worked with several fantastic people in the past and present to maintain our account and solve problems.

Pros:

Both functionality and usability are excellent. It is simple to use even with all the bells and whistles. Our company meetings are sometimes held in here. Its easy to use and create and join any meeting.

Cons:

It is annoying because the meeting feature doesn't integrate with Outlook's calendaring. It impedes effective user-to-user communication over RSVPs for meetings. creates more work for everyone.

Unacceptable product

3.0 4 years ago

Comments: I rarely have a satisfactory experience.

Pros:

Not much. Just doesn't work well. Decent design.

Cons:

There has be worse portal software out there somewhere, but it's hard to imagine. Antiquated login procedures, attachments don't always stay attached, doesn't function at all with Android phones, hard to print from it. None of our Board members are happy with it. Almost surely it would be better if NASDAQ didn't own it, in fact maybe it was better before NASDAQ owned it.

Board Portal

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: My overall experience with Nasdaq Boardvantage has been very positive.

Pros:

What I like most about NASDAQ Boardvantage is their customer support. Not only are always helpful and pleasant, but they are readily available.

Cons:

The software is super easy to use. I have guided people over the phone. What I don't like is my company's point person keeps changing. I am not sure if they are moving to other positions within the company, or they have high turnover.

Alternatives Considered: OnBoard

Reasons for Switching to Nasdaq Boardvantage: The decision to go with Nasdaq was an executive committee decision and other members had used Nasdaq and liked it.

Best Option: Boardvantage!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: secure transmitting of info to Board Members is a huge improvement and document managing during a meeting is much improved with the software.

Pros:

Functionality and ease of use are both fantastic. With all the bells and whistles it is easy as a user.

Cons:

None. Like all of them it is a little tough to get documents exactly where you want them w/in a Board Book.

Alternatives Considered: OnBoard

Reasons for Switching to Nasdaq Boardvantage: Price was close enough and much better functionality with Boardvantage. Images within the Board Book are sharper as well.

Great platform to use!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: The product is easy to use, but when support is needed they are great when issues do arise - they are quick to respond and always courteous and very helpful and knowledgeable! We never fear having to call for support!

Pros:

The integration of moving from our old platform to this one was easy, it's easy for end-users to use, love being able to upload multiple items at once and creating the board packets within the system! The surveys and approvals are another feature that we really like a lot and use on a regular basis! Great way to get board involvement in things and it's easy for them to do!

Cons:

Nothing that I can think of at this time. I'm sure there's something, but it's not coming to mind currently.

LOVE the Professional Presentation

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

The dashboard feature is my favorite feature offered by BoardVantage. I love that we can provide so much data to the Directors within a single screen. I just wish there were more cards available.

Cons:

The mobile features are different from the desktop version - as a non-iPad user, it makes it difficult for me to provide support to the users who rely on their iPads.

NBV Review

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: User friendly, and most all of our users experience relatively few issues and can navigate through the screens easily to find what they need.

Pros:

It is fairly intuitive, with the exception of a couple of small items, you usually don't need to contact support often.

Cons:

Prepping for the last board meeting, I had an incident where the linked agenda just "disappeared" with the notation, File Corruption. Not sure why or how that happened, but I have had similar situations once or twice previously. I just deleted it and started over, as I didn't have time to contact anyone.

Highly Recommend Nasdaq Boardvantage

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Using Nasdaq Boardvantage for our Board and Committee meetings has saved a tremendous amount of my time in prepping and getting the materials out.

Pros:

I love how user friendly this software is and their customer support is great. If I ever have a question, customer support is always available and answers my questions in a very timely manner.

Cons:

Copying one folder to another folder is a bit tricky because the permissions don't seem to transfer over.

Great software for our Board Meetings

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: The customer support is great. Any questions were answered quickly via email. The webinars that review various functions of the software is also a plus - it helps to keep us up to date even if we don't use the software on a regular basis.

Pros:

Easy to put all of the meeting information in one place for the board members to review. Also good to get confirmation of who has reviewed the material, using the reports function.

Cons:

I like the ability to use the software as a virtual meeting, but it's been easier for us to use a Skype or Zoom meeting and then just present the material from there. It was took difficult to coordinate audio with the BoardVantage meeting

Excellent Enhancement of Meetings

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: It is an excellent tool to use for meetings, communication with members of a board, and has top notch security features!

Pros:

For several years, I have been a user of Nasdaq Boardvantage Portal (on behalf of my boss) with regards to quarterly Board Meetings he attends either in person (or since Covid, virtually).. I have found the portal to be an outstanding tool in communicating with other board members and the Executive Director. Most important in today's world in cybersecurity, and the Nasdaq Boardvantage Portal is very secure. It's an excellent product, and I highly recommend it. Also, should a question come up, you can always reach their customer service team, which is excellent.

Cons:

There are no cons. It's easy to use, they have great customer service, and accessing your information is intuitive.

Pros:

I appreciate being able to upload a document in its original format. This saves time should I need to make changes to any specific document. No need to reload or replace.

Comments: It has been a very good experience since the beginning with the various upgrade.

Pros:

It is user friendly and we receive updates very often which is interesting.

Cons:

Nothing specific. But before the admins could put in a password for the directors and the latter could change while log in which is not the case now.

Great platform for large document share and collaboration.

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall, I am very satisfied with the performance of the software, the file storage capacity, and above all, the customer service.

Pros:

Generating and publishing a Board Book was a fraction of the time historically spent, required 3 less laborers for assembly, and resulted in $0 shipping cost. Survey module with collaborative creation and built-in reporting is quite handy. Generating communications from BV helps emails stay focused and attracts attention.

Cons:

Extending survey completion deadline results in loss of data and requires "re-opening" the survey. Sharing presenter mode is cumbersome.

Great Board Portal

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Boardvantage has been widely accepted and used by staff and our board members. They are really pleased with the performance and like not having to have "hard copy" materials but also like the ease of use of the portal.

Pros:

I like how simple it is to upload, edit and create board materials in on location that is easy to access by all

Cons:

Sometimes depending on the device you are viewing your materials on, when you click on an item to view it doesn't always start on the beginning page, it opens on like the second or third page.
