Using it within 3 different companies, I found Convene to be user friendly and rich in functionality. The company behind Convene itself projects a good image. Its employees exercise very good customer care and support.
Convene’s been great. Its smooth implementation process meant people adopted to it very easily. We haven’t looked back. Convene has helped us get our papers in order in advance of a meeting. It’s a very reliable, mature product. Other more costly board portal solutions failed to meet our required standard such as SharePoint that does not make life easy, or BoardPad which was really expensive, and required lots of hand holding, Convene has made us more disciplined and organized about not wasting time.
Convene is a hidden gem. It has more rich features, aesthetics, and intuitive interface as BoardVantage and Diligent, while costing at least 40% less! It’s a clear winner for those who are value-conscious. You have no idea how much it means for nonprofits and value-conscious organizations to have a solution as good, yet as reachable, as Convene.
“Defining the users in the system is simple. We can quickly change the access and delete them without the need to have an IT team.”
“When I started at the company, we had electronic meeting software but the company servicing us no longer supported the software. We experienced regular software glitches, requiring us to triple-check that the information we stored was complete and correct.”
“If we (or the presenter) need to skip from one section to another, everybody’s magically there. They’re not flipping through their packet or trying to find it themselves."
“Convene provided exemplary support and showed a great deal of adaptability in meeting our changing needs.”
“It is very convenient to use — less effort, yet we’re more productive.”
“[Being able] to track document downloads and ensure that only authorized individuals can access our sensitive materials was a major factor in our decision [to choose Convene].”
“Made our lives so much easier."
"A lot of good tools just go under the radar because they just do the job in a really quiet, efficient way. And for me, that’s one of the things I really value about Convene."
“Additionally, Convene’s reputation for reliability and its track record of serving organisations similar to ours played a significant role in our decision-making process."
“I have used other board portals and find Convene excellent value for money and easy to use.”
“Troubleshoot quickly so as to be responsive in turn to the users or the Board of Directors.”
“We had other directors using Convene on other boards, so it was a natural transition to this platform.”
