so far it was easy to set up and work with. our board hasn`t used ut yet, so that will be still interesting to see.

Pros

Easy to use. The handling is very sel explainatory, easy to figure out alone without any help from support.

Cons

That you cannot give a user different rights for different groups. Meaning the person should be editor in one group, but only a member in another.

Also you cannot add lunch as an agenda item without a number. so the agenda doesnt add a lunch of e.g. 30 mins...

We introduced Sherpany because we were starting to have more board documents provided to non-executive directors or advisors outside our IT system and wanted a secure and controlled format for sharing this type of sensitive information. We have found it has been popular with our executive directors, particularly those that are mobile across business locations or travel often, to cut down paper and have instant access to past meetings. We have rolled out the application within our business from the main board to subsidiary boards and executive management teams for the same reason. In general the product has been easily adopted with minimal training, which is if anything over provided.

Pros

The product is easy/ intuitive to use for the administrator - both to add users and to compile the meetings and board papers. We found this a significant improvement over the leading product in the UK/ Ireland public company market. From a user perspective it is very easy to use with minimal training and my non-executives who are users of Diligent etc have found it easy to adopt. From an executive perspective the most useful features of the application are to have instant access to a past meetings in one place. The ability to create within the one board portal different user groups and document security levels is helpful and allows for greater participation in the wider organisation. I found the security offering to be better and the software performance to be more robust than other modern applications of similar ease of use/ flexibility.

Cons

The software has few deficiencies compared to the rival software in the market. The inability to manually rotate individual image pages within the user application is sometimes frustrating.

Meetings made easy

Reviewed on 2020/05/20

Pros

I used the software in a previous job and I really miss the simplicity with which meetings could be organised. Sharing the files through the app would reduce the number of emails that had to be sent and would give the possibility to have all the relevant documents in one safe place when needed. It also helped to have shorter and more efficient meetings.

Cons

I don't have anything to report, the team is always working on improving the app.

I've been a really happy user of Sherpany, and my Account Manager has been super helpful in getting me set up and answering all my questions.

Pros

I like the ability to have all meetings in one place and to be able to toggle between meetings quickly and easily. Have the agenda and minutes in one place reduces my admin time.

Cons

There are a couple of improvements to the meeting minutes(i) I find the formatting quite "clunky" and it doesn't look as professional as if the narrative had been typed in Word (ii) I would like the ability to print meeting minutes before I publish to the audience.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Sherpany

Sherpany was felt to be more of a European product and less focused on the UK. The European support centre was also a strong benefit.

It has been a good experience. The implementation and onboarding were easy and everyone adapted quickly. The tool is intuitive and helps to reinforce good meeting behaviours.

Customer service is really excellent on the few occasions I needed it.

Pros

The platform provides us with structure and meeting discipline. As a result decisions are made faster, discussions are more focused and we implement better.

The tasks and decisions feature is amazing. It allows me to see all the decisions that came out of a meeting, what are the next tasks and who is responsible. This way we keep our focus and execute our projects much faster.

Cons

So far there is nothing to report. The app has great performance.

We use Sherpany to share documents with the administrators of the company and to inform them about the agenda of the next meeting and the attached documents related to it. It reduces the number of emails and centralize all relevant documents in a place.

Pros

The functionnalities that are available for organizing meetings. It is very easy to create a new agenda or to copy an old one. The documents can be attached to selected points of a meeting or saved in the common library as wanted. The new functionnality allowing to indicate if the agenda is not yet confirmed or approuved is really useful. The fact that we can access to the plateform from a cumputer or a tablet is convenient.

Cons

The field to notify the attendees is not really useful as the text is written in a line.
The fact that there is no field to attach the meeting minutes to the meeting (or only by adding a point to the agenda).
The notes added to a specific point of the agenda aren't displayed in the generated PDF.
The notification from Sherpany of maintenance of the products.
