We migrated from BoardVantage several years ago, and I've found Diligent to be light years better. The web interface is intuitive, training is easy, the viewing portal looks clean and easy to follow. Building books is very easy (with one caveat in the dislike section), it was easy to integrate our legacy books using the drag and drop feature. Voting documents are easy to create and implement. Shielding private documents is easy to do, and replacing documents while maintaining notes is an amazing feature. Love the functionality to include dial-in info, as well as link the page in the notification. We use it frequently to communicate with our Board, and also our management team for C-suite meetings.

The customer service and live person support are fantastic. My "Team Gold" is extremely responsive at setting up accounts, and I love the trainings they initiated over the last several months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the legacy OneClick, it was easy to build a book by dragging a folder full of individual documents and selecting the option to make each document a separate tab. The web version does not have this option (you need to save all the files in separate folders which is unwieldy, I've spoken to our customer service rep about). I've also heard complaints from our BOD that the home page is more "sales-y" than before, advertising conferences, and it's hard for them to find books. Another complaint I've heard from the BOD is they cannot "reply all" to notification if they have a comment they want everyone to see (have to either email them or create a message in messenger).

The basic functions of the product are generally easy to learn and use, so the upfront learning curve time is not too involved. Product support (e.g., for administrative functions) is always solid with pretty quick turnaround when you have a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish there was more automation of some of the routine tasks. Also, some of the more advanced features can at times be confusing to learn and I sometimes find myself reaching out to their support team as I don't want to make a very consequential mistake on something I was unclear about.

There isn't anything I don't like about Diligent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to build a book and work on documents prior to publishing.

We like the ease of managing users and their capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use the resource center to hold documentation - recently we deleted a file and found out there isn't a way to recover. when deleting files from the resource center it would be good to have a message that pops up to say "are you sure, file is not recoverable" Also in the resource center, it would be nice to have subtabs of tabs. Renaming files in resource center would be helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
