It was quite positive. Before this software creating board packs was extremely manual and needed a lot of user intervention. Any updates that came in late were in risk of not making it in. there was always the possibioity of incorrect packs being used by members. Storing them was also a pain.
Pros
It allows you to signup for only the modules that you need. It is cloud based and can be used on any device with a browser as well as native iOS apps. It is very easy to create and update books and to keep them updated across all users to ensure the most recent pack is available.
Cons
Some of the user/committee setup needs to be done by customer service. While they are quite responsive it seems unneccessary and they are improving on this. If you have a small board/irregular meetings it may be costly for you.

It has saved me many many hours when it comes to compiling and distributing board books before each meeting. Especially love that you can replace/edit a document rather quickly and easily without disrupting the order/pagination of the book like it would have occurred when compiling a book using Word or Adobe.
Pros
Makes creating board books easy and efficient.
Cons
Would like a better graphic user interface (GUI).

The contact pre-contract signing communication was relentless, since signing it's difficult to get timely responses, and have not received any responses from sales team since signing.
Pros
Uploading of documents is easy; dashboard is a nice feature.
Cons
Does not have the capabilities that were confirmed in pre-contract discussions/demos; unable to edit or rename documents directly in Diligent Boards portal; admin module is not user friendly.

I've had a good experience using Diligent Boards as an administrator. The users I support have never expressed frustration using the system as it's very straightforward. The changes I make apply right away (I know some systems require an overnight update to display changes).
Pros
The portal is easy to use (e.g., creating books; adding or removing users).
Cons
Limited number of users (would cost more); downloaded presentation has extra borders I find annoying
