I am a very satisfied user, the tool is very intuitive and user friendly. I also have pleasant experiences with the iBabs team, and I’ve found that whenever I contact the support team they are always helpful and friendly. I’m happy to recommend iBabs to anyone.

Pros

The Actions tracking feature is the one that comes to mind first. Since our team started to use iBabs we’ve noticed a huge improvement in meeting follow up. Actions no longer get lost in the minutes because we all have full visibility on the list of open action items.

The other great thing is how smooth meeting prep has become. It’s really easy to annotate my papers and share my notes with my colleagues.

Cons

It can be impractical to hold meetings when there are other organisations involved that don’t use iBabs themselves

The experience was seemless from the initial conversations, through implementation, set up, training and rolling out to our team. We had an extremely smooth transition, with everyone on board very quickly.

Pros

I loved iBabs from day one, the portal is so easy to administer, whether that be setting users, agendas, meetings, uploading, previewing packs, the transition was pretty seemless and the benefits evident from day one. From a users point of view again, once logged in, you cannot go wrong, the ability to share and annotate is a major plus point.

Cons

I really do not think their is anything that I do not like....

Reasons for Switching to iBabs

The functionality was very similar to other products in the market, but iBabs could not be beaten on cost, no one else offering similar could get close.

We managed to save thousands of paper prints every month thanks to iBabs. That means better for the environment, less paper to shred and a more secure way of dealing with information.

Pros

The app enables us to save on paper and printing costs which is good for the environment. Using the web app, meetings can be prepared, complete with agenda and attachments. You can make separate lists with action items and decisions, and link these to the meetings. This makes it a good searchable archive as well. In the meeting, you can use a tablet or smartphone device with a dedicated app that makes annotating and viewing easy.

Cons

The Windows 10 app is slowly getting on par with the other platforms. Usually an iPad is a better choice during the meeting.
The navigation in the app is sometimes not very intuitive.

We use it throughout the organisation. Our previous board portal was only used by our board but now the benefits of a board portal is used through all managementlayers. The whole administrative process around the meetings like minutes, decision lists and so on are made easy with iBabs as well.

Pros

We have been using another board portal in the past. The ease of use and flexibility of iBabs is incredible! We can mange the whole environment ourselves and grant exactly the rights people need.

Cons

To be honest, nothing is disappointing thus far.

Alternatives Considered

Easy to set up, easy to use, feels professional and I love that I can add things to the agenda as I remember them, so the agendas can be filled out well in advance.

Pros

We save time and always have the most recent version of any document available. We no longer have to send documents around to all participants.
Data is store securely behind Multi-factor authentication and can be digitally signed making us fully digital.

Cons

Very little con, would have liked a multi-day agenda that spans multiple days instead of having to create a new agenda for each day.

We are moving from a paper based platform in favour of iBabs. So far, everyone involved at iBabs has been superb, we hope our relationship continues for many years to come

Pros

IBabs is so easy to use. The fact that the software can be used on any device via the app both on and offline is essential for our end users, as it means that they can view their documents whilst travelling.

Cons

It would be handy if the administrators could have a button that translates to an end users view of agendas.

My overall experience with iBabs has so far been excellent. The use of the system has saved me considerable time in meeting preparation and management. All feedback from users has been positive. Any support required from iBabs has been very responsive and they have been able to answer my queries.

Pros

The simplicity of the software is very intuitive and it was very easy to get up and running. Use of the system to prepare meeting packs has saved a lot of preparation time and packs can be updated and republished easily. Minutes are taken via the system and actions and decisions can be easily recorded and assigned to individuals who receive a notification to this effect. These are then easily exported into separate documents.

Cons

It takes a bit of getting used to ensuring excel documents are imported into the pack fully. Ensuring these are saved as PDF documents before importing has helped this.

iBabs

Reviewed on 2023/02/26

Pros

We used the software across the organisation for meetings. It has also been used at board level, this software is already in use throughout the company. I had never heard of a meeting management tool before, but this tool has saved us all a lot of time and especially paper by not having to print anything, not having to prepare papers in advance and being prepared for the meeting. Very good functionality and features for taking notes during the meeting, history of meetings held. There is an option to share documents where the process is secure, so even sensitive documents can be shared and access permissions can be set. There is also a notification feature in case of any updates or changes. The deployment was very fast and there was no problem with integration. Support responds very quickly within hours.

Cons

I would welcome the ability to connect to, for example, Outlook and other office applications, sometimes there was a problem with Windows 10 meeting display, on the tablet everything worked as it should. I didn't find any other drawbacks and as far as meeting management apps go I don't have another favourite.

Ibabs is een gebruiksvriendelijk en betaalbaar systeem, het beheer is eenvoudig en Ibabs heeft een goede helpdesk. Starten met Ibabs is erg eenvoudig en gebruikers wennen snel aan de nieuwe manier van voorbereiden en vergaderen.

Pros

Ibabs is overzichtelijk en heeft een goede zoekfunctie. De functionaliteiten voor het digitaal ondertekenen van documenten en de koppeling met Sharepoint voor het toevoegen van documenten maken het systeem voor ons zeer efficiënt. Daarnaast is de helpdesk van Ibabs toegankelijk en denkt mee met de klant.

Cons

Doordat je webbased werkt moet je eraan denken om tussendoor alle wijzigingen goed op te slaan, anders kun je documenten of aantekeningen kwijtraken (als bijvoorbeeld je internet verbinding tussendoor wegvalt).

Door iBabs heeft iedereen dezelfde vergaderstukken en zijn ze up-to-date.Verder gebruiken we iBabs ook voor het publiceren van stukken in het kader van de Woo.

Pros

iBabs werkt echt super fijn, maar eigenlijk vinden we iBabs een stuk minder gebruiksvriendelijk sinds de laatste release.Verder vind ik het erg jammer dat deze enquête in het engels wordt, dus ik vul deze verder niet in. Volgens mij zijn we gericht op het Nederlands binnen iBabs en zijn jullie een Nederlands bedrijf. Zeker de vragen op de vorige bladzijde zijn naar mijn idee niet eens relevant.

Cons

Zoals boven genoemd, het is minder overzichtelijk als eerst.
