OnBoard

Great Board Management Tool!

製品を使ってみた感想： Having board files in one location will cut down on the amount of Trustees needing me to track things down and will serve as a secondary backup of our precious files. Customer service is astounding, especially compared to what I experienced or see available with a more expensive, similar platform I demoed, and the interface is more modern than the other platform as well. So OnBoard looks and feels great and was well received. My life has improved since adding this feature, saving hours with creating Board materials.

良いポイント:

This was a great cloud-based portal for full management of board materials, easy creation of Board Books, and creation of an archive in one location. This replaced a home-brewed portal that was difficult to use and clunky. Now, I can easily create and update board books instead of wasting precious time making manual, difficult updates using Adobe Pro. Great customer support.

改善してほしい点:

Some features we don't have since unfortunately they cost extra. We also have a difficult usage case that has required some workarounds but that is on us for being complicated. I hope one day they allow more than one Zoom platform to be connected to the account.

OnBoard for Board and Committee Management

製品を使ってみた感想： We are solving the need to house all meeting materials in one, central, accessible platform.

良いポイント:

The feature that is most impactful to our organization's use is having meeting materials all in one place, eliminating the need to print materials and distribute to members.

改善してほしい点:

My lease favorite part of OnBoard is reliability. There are times that the meeting book will not build. That does not work when needing to present at a meeting, or when members need to view the materials and vote. I am also disappointed with the Customer Service response when lodging a complaint. They do not have a good system of notification when an issue is resolved. It leaves us guessing and considering looking at different vendors for a similar product.

This Software is Now in the Cash Flow Phase

製品を使ってみた感想： We are so disappointed with the ongoing lack of support. We have been asking for basic feature additions for years, and have even offered to pay for additional development (we are a $400M company). The software platform is clearly past the investment phase, and we regret the past few years of investment from a time and financial perspective.

良いポイント:

The portion of the software focused on meeting orchestration is good. The feature functionality around scheduling meetings, building agendas, and aggregating attachments works well (although this doesn't carry through actually running a meeting).

改善してほしい点:

During meetings, the meeting book does not automatically size to the window. At all. As users scroll through the meeting, it is very distracting to continually zoom/unzoom/scroll right/scroll down to fit information to the screen. This functionality is standard in PDF readers. Online discussions are not threaded. You may only have ONE long-running discussion with each distinct set of people. It makes the feature useless for all but the most mundane of communications. The software does not support read-only audit users. Most organizations, both for-profit and not-for-profit, need to provide access to state examiners, federal examiners, or financial auditors. Despite asking for this functionality for years, the only response is that we may buy more licenses to support temporary users, which would require manually back-allocating user permissions to all meetings and files.

OnBoard-Get On Board

製品を使ってみた感想： I really love working with OnBoard. It is easy to use for the end-user and was an easy adoption for them. As an admin, I can set permissions to various employees, and they can upload documents without my intervention. I like that new features are always coming out to test/try. The company continues to grow, but I have not seen any negative effects of it.

良いポイント:

The features which I love about OnBoard are the e-signature and approval options. I am able to create surveys and get results much quicker as users are already used to the OnBoard portal. e-signatures were critical during COVID as we couldn't meet in person, but I needed signatures for approval of documents. I also love the customer support of my relationship manager. They are always listening on how to improve the product. Innovative is necessary in an electronic world.

改善してほしい点:

The minutes feature is a work in progress. I am sure it works fine for some organizations, just not me. I do not like the fact that the pre-form automatically creates links of documents in the meeting minutes. Starting from scratch is cumbersome as well. They have taken my comments into consideration. Perhaps there will be a third option someday.

It's just so easy!

製品を使ってみた感想： I honestly love it. We use it for board and supervisory committee meetings. It's a great way to organize reports and get a lot of information out to multiple people. Our commercial team uses it for gathering loan documents. We use the resource section a lot to store important documents so people can easily find what they need without having to figure out which meeting it was a part of. OnBoard makes my job so much easier!

良いポイント:

What I like most is how easy it is to create an agenda and add documents. And if something needs to be swapped out last minute, it's not a problem at all. The process is so fast.

改善してほしい点:

If a PDF is created from a Goolge document, OnBoard won't accept it. Sometimes I'll put everything in the packet and click on 'Open Book' and an error pops up saying that it failed. Then I have to remove each PDF one by one until I discover which one is the problem. Sometimes that has been time consuming; however, my company is transitioning to only using Microsoft so it's been less of a problem lately.

Streamline Management with Boards and Committees

製品を使ってみた感想： Customer service and onboarding are great. Our board and staff like the way it streamlines everything. It saves me hours of prep work for meetings, by not having to format my own agenda or information packets for each meeting.

良いポイント:

Meeting management through OnBoard is much more efficient than calendar invites and emails. Building the agenda is easy, and the board book it creates puts everything in one, professional-looking document. Communication with different groups through the messenger is also a time-saving feature. Eliminates group emails and makes it easy to find past conversations and information when needed.

改善してほしい点:

It would be nice to be able to delete messages and clean up the messenger section. Also, the permissions feature is great but we often forget that you have to apply permissions to each meeting, file sharing, etc. Would be nice to have that pop up as a reminder.

Excellent system for board management

製品を使ってみた感想： Our experience has been excellent. The learning curve is short and the feedback from board members has been very favorable. They express that they like the fact that all organizational information can be found in the portal.

良いポイント:

Being able to have a single portal to manage meetings, documents, and communication among board members are among the strongest aspects of OnBoard.

改善してほしい点:

The biggest challenge is adoption of the system by your board. Some will be intimidated because it is cloud based but even the most reluctant have been able to easily use the platform.

OnBoard is Great

製品を使ってみた感想： Easy to use, all in one place resource for my Board and Committees

良いポイント:

Ease of implementation and ease for user, both on the admin and user side. It is very easy to use and clear where all items are located

改善してほしい点:

Sometimes a feature can be clunky when first implemented (small things like being able to move items around easily in the minutes builder) but if anything like that arise I find the team addresses it fairly quickly

Best for professional use.

製品を使ってみた感想： From the first sales interactions through the customer feedback meetings, I have only had excellent experiences with OnBoard. The product has performed extremely well for us, and the customer service has been excellent. The time spent creating paper packs has been significantly decreased, and it has been very helpful in meetings.

良いポイント:

A word document may be used to create the agenda, Zoom links can be viewed from the OnBoard, the calendar has been updated, and there is a Resource Library. friendly to users. Continuously adding new features, updates, and enhancements. Integration went smoothly.

改善してほしい点:

In comparison to other well-known board pack software, OnBoard operates a little bit differently, so customers who are accustomed to other types may require more assistance to get acclimated to it. Because they are a little too subtle, upload failure notifications can be overlooked if you are working quickly.

An Amazing Platform to Use

製品を使ってみた感想： For over a year now, this portal has been very effective for board management, meetings, etc.

良いポイント:

Onboard is very user friendly and a great tool for board management. It was very easy to learn and the tutorials were awesome.

改善してほしい点:

There is nothing that I don't like about this system. It has been great so far.

Essential Software for Board Meetings

製品を使ってみた感想： I have been using OnBoard shortly after I started with this company in late 2016. I believe the software was being converted from an older, original product to the OnBoard that I currently use today. There have been many updates along the way. My favorite was the ability to use the software on either Apple or Android cell phones. We recently upgraded our package to include Global Admin with the new Analytics feature. Two years ago, we looked into a few different products to compare cost and features. In the end we decided to stay with OnBoard because the program does everything we need (and then some) for our board meetings. The cost of the software to be very competitive with others. The members of our board find it effective and very easy to use. This makes my life much easier!

良いポイント:

There are several things I like about the software. One of the features we like is the ability to use the software on both Apple and Android devices. If I ever need help with the software, I can easily find help through the Help Center and there are Admin Guides. When a new member joins our Board - no problem! There is a User Guide to help get them up to speed very quickly. Should there be another issue that I cannot resolve, I have found the staff at OnBoard very helpful in resolving any issue that I come across (which are very few and far between!) I also like the opportunity for additional learning via Webinars. We are updated when the offices at OnBoard will be closed or whenever there is an update on the way. The communication is above and beyond. Putting together an Agenda for a board meeting is very easy to do. I am finding the agenda import to be a big time saver. Our board enjoys the ability to make annotations during our board meetings.

改善してほしい点:

My least favorite thing about this software is the need to have a "Global Admin" upgrade in order to delete things from the portal that a previous employee had created and was no longer needed/outdated. It is unfortunate that the Messenger feature is not included in our package and this would require another upgrade. That being said, however, there are many updates to the software that do not cost extra. I don't want to give the impression that every update costs extra, because that would not be accurate. In case you are wondering - we did decide to upgrade during a year-end special to include the Global Admin product and Analytics feature which we are enjoying very much.

Continue to be pleased with the purchase

製品を使ってみた感想： I've had an ideal customer experience with OnBoard! From sales to training to implementation ([SENSITIVE CONTENT] is awesome) to maintenance stage and IT needs. Improvements are continually coming. A very responsive team when it comes to questions or the occasional internet glitch. Great online resources for training, learning and best practices, in addition to live help.

良いポイント:

Ease of use, organization, look, security, customer service, always open to ideas and making improvements, analytics.

改善してほしい点:

Minutes builder and surveys could be improved. The ability to add custom fields to profile would be nice.

Great Product So Far

製品を使ってみた感想： Great customer service from day one, and I mean from the first sales/demo meeting we had with them. We were given a lot of support to successfully manage a trial. Our salesperson took the time to help figure out a process for us to incorporate our e-voting needs.

良いポイント:

The voting tools are fantastic. Approvals were really the biggest function we were looking for and the fact that you can integrate a discussion in to an approval has made our e-voting process very smooth

改善してほしい点:

Although this is really intuitive on the user end, I had a real learning curve figuring out some of the admin features. This could be in part that this portal is completely unlike the one we used in the past. The customer success manager has been great - willing to schedule as much time as we need.

OnBoard is Awesome!

良いポイント:

It is great to use to keep all meeting materials in order and easily accessible for members of committees as well as the administrative team. I also love how I am able to lock the minutes once approved so no future changes can be made.

改善してほしい点:

Nothing, it is very easy to us and does exactly what I need it to.

Board Management Solution

良いポイント:

It was easy to set up OnBoard and I like that it is the ONE place to find our members' directory information, committee memberships, and terms, and the one place to keep our meetings' supporting documents.

改善してほしい点:

It is a bit cumbersome to synthesize all committees' meeting documents into one document for the meeting of the full board.

Onboarding Experience

良いポイント:

It has been a very good experience communicating with this app and has very user-friendly interface. I use across different platforms with ease.

改善してほしい点:

I have experience login issue at times but that is also very rarely but other than that no complains.

Great Board Management resource

製品を使ってみた感想： Easy to implement and outstanding assistance.

良いポイント:

Intuitive and consistent tool for inputting and managing board information.

改善してほしい点:

Difficulty with time zone management for multinational board calendars.

onBoard review

良いポイント:

It's very easy to use, especially with the tutorials. Even as a beginner, you'll pick it up very quickly.

改善してほしい点:

I have nothing to say as a disadvantage it's a good tool

One-stop-shop for coordinating and managing everything related to virtual meetings

製品を使ってみた感想： Virtual meetings have become an essential matter for us, and on a daily basis we organize and participate in meetings remotely, and OnBoard has helped us organize all the affairs of remote meetings, and since using it, managing the agenda, writing minutes of meetings, as well as tracking notes and participating in tasks and reports related to them is done properly, and it is also wonderful that every It is saved and archived on the cloud in an organized manner.

良いポイント:

I appreciate the fact that OnBoard is an exceptional tool, skills can be picked up quickly, and virtual meetings can be started without any complications. I greatly appreciate the speed of executing orders with OnBoard, as well as the distinctive dashboard that enables us to easily set up the agenda, schedule appointments, and also set up links, as the importance of this increases the level of realism. I also like the dashboard because I can review the comments of colleagues and managers and respond to them directly. I also find that sharing tasks and compiling reports is very flexible with OnBoard, as all members can actively participate. Also great is the way OnBoard provides for taking minutes of meetings, updating them, adding notes and alerts, all of which are saved in an organized manner and we can also access them easily.

改善してほしい点:

I did not find things difficult with OnBoard, as its distinctive design and high capabilities enabled us to manage virtual meetings as required.

OnBoard - A Great Product for Board Management

製品を使ってみた感想： I love the ease of use and structure/organization that OnBoard helps our organization obtain. It has made meeting materials and meeting structure so much easier. I love that all the features are readily available in one place. I would recommend this product to other orgs but noting that it is fairly costly for a not for profit.

良いポイント:

As an organization we set up at least 3-4 meetings a month and it has really helped to streamline our process. Everything is now in one place. We also use the survey tool monthly and appreciate it's ease of use.

改善してほしい点:

Approvals could be easier to use. I don't love that when changes are made in the back end sometimes it affects permissions that were set up long before hand. If you made an upgrade our board directors should still be able to access their usual meetings.

OnBoard Provides Ease of Access and Security for Board of Trustees

製品を使ってみた感想： Regardless of our board desiring to maintain an in-person meeting format coming out of the pandemic, we are still utilizing the benefits of OnBoard for material distribution, highlighting important information, maintaining current contact details and up-to-date calendar information for upcoming meetings. OnBoard has been a huge support to our Board of Trustees.

良いポイント:

I am constantly impressed with OnBoard and their continuous improvements. We implemented OnBoard prior to COVID shutting us down and were so thankful to have the technology to enable us to share materials and conduct elections and receive approvals all online. The time this system has saved us is tremendous, but the ease access and security of materials online has been even greater. Trustees can now take action on items while traveling using a phone, tablet or computer without waiting for a package to be delivered. Meeting materials can also be reviewed and stored online providing easy access to current agendas as well as past meeting reference of actions and materials. Binders are not left behind on tables, pages are not lost and we have confidence in the security of the materials online.

改善してほしい点:

The challenge for us with OnBoard is simply the fact that we want all of the features and yet because of recent financial challenges that our university has faced we are holding tight to budget dollars and maintaining what we have with OnBoard which is still so much better than nothing! We dream of the future capabilities as there is so much to offer any company.

OnBoard is worth the expense

製品を使ってみた感想： Having a single location to allow for collaboration without having to use Dropbox, Messages, iChat, Google Docs, etc. makes a meeting go so much smoother. And I no longer need to print out hundreds of pages of documents for in-hand. And the Board members feel secure with the privacy and security that this system affords them.

良いポイント:

This management software, now that I, as an administrator, have gone through the training, is easy to manage and easy to access from the board member's perspective. It provides shortcuts that allow for easy use, especially as it relates to minutes. I can create templates that shortens the administrative time needed.

改善してほしい点:

There are some features to which one needs to adapt, but the team is very responsive to needs and offers the best work around for your particular needs.

Ascentis Review

製品を使ってみた感想： Fantastic, rapid and reliable customer service from the team, especially Bob!
- Efficient use of time - no printing and posting packs of papers
- Less time is needed to format and release, therefore the reports are much more current than previously
- More Eco- friendly! - no more printing!
- Accessibility - can read reports on the move, via phone, tablet or laptop

良いポイント:

Good integration and user-friendly, similar to MS products which is good. The onboarding process went well, especially with the training for myself and our trustees who aren't very tech-savvy. I like how I can use this on my laptop, iPad and phone - all apps work very well. Main things I like: - user friendly - automation of reminders/RSVP - collation of papers into a pack and access to download (can use without internet) - timings - good indication for the team and the Chair - much more efficient use of time and focus - ability to move the agenda around and subtitles format - looks professional

改善してほしい点:

Not much really! two things for me: - integrations of MS Teams (not Zoom) - permissions for new trustees (new trustees should not have access to previous papers, or there at least should be an option) Apart from that, I love OnBoard!

OnBoard has significantly changed how we do business.

製品を使ってみた感想： We love that all of our documentation, voting, and board business is located in one place. We have two boards, plus numerous board committees. OnBoard makes it easy for us to access the information, in real-time, and we can direct our board members/volunteers where to go in the system instead of trying to locate the information and hope an e-mail goes through because the document was too large to send via e-mail.

良いポイント:

The features I love the most are the agenda and minutes builder. Previously it would take us an hour just to build out the agenda or minutes because of all the attachments/appendices needed for each document. When changes were needed, you would have to update the entire document and all of the attachment/appendix labels - which is another savings of at least 30 minutes to an hour for each board meeting.

改善してほしい点:

What I like least are the glitches that keep occurring while in the system. I get kicked out of Minutes Builder - while doing my minutes in the middle of a board meeting, from time to time items won't save or the system will tell me that I don't have permission and it kicks me out of what I was working on. I will say this is not as often as it used to be but is still a bug that needs to get corrected.

Meeting and Conference Life Saver

製品を使ってみた感想： This platform is a must-have if you are tasked with collating materials for meetings and organizing all material after the fact. The level of organization and time saved using this program more than pays for the fees.

良いポイント:

I no longer stress out over how to organize documents, minutes, and communication for large meetings. I sit in and host 3-6 meetings a week, and felt very scattered for years. Now, documenting and creating required records, be it for training, OSHA, or internal collaboration take about an hour to prepare and finalize. If an employee can't attend the meeting, I patch them in remotely. After the meetings, I can send follow-up reminders to the attendees, disseminate follow-up documents, and/or share the meeting minutes with superiors.

改善してほしい点:

Analytics could be upgraded to dig deeper into employee attendance, input, and overall activity with the platform. A few minor issues with different elements of the system not communicating in real-time....such as agenda and minutes.
