Overall, Knowa is a very useful tool, but could be improved by increasing the speed of navigating the Board Space facility, and increasing the speed at which documents are loaded up to Knowa.
Pros
Ease of setting up and managing meetings
Cons
The slowness of the document repository facility.

Quite honestly, I think Knowa is exactly what the pensions industry needs - good value, easy / intuitive to use with great support and strong forward-looking development
Pros
Easy and intuitive to use with flexible storage design options and an ability to add many users within the Package. Great bolt-on modules available too along with an AI function and strong search capability
Cons
Not really a dislike but the left-hand bar could perhaps be clearer when one has multiple clients

I find Knowa very helpful and use the system daily but it does appears difficult to engage all our Trustees.
Pros
It's easy to locate files on document storage. The meeting management facility is excellent. The team at Knowa are extremely helpful, friendly and are always striving to make improvements. The Risk Register facility is user friendly and helpful as the Trustee and advisers are able to access. I like the ability to ask other group members to either vote or read a post. I like the collaboration area but it does appear to be difficult to encourage our advisers to respond to this thread. The reason why they prefer to respond via email is that they are unable to keep an audit trail at their end.
Cons
It would be helpful if documents within each of the categories could be added so the last document is automatically shown at the top of the list.It would be helpful if once documents are added to the storage area, there is a facility to rename the file. At the moment, I am altering the title (making it slightly shorter and trying to cover full details of document ie add a date and removing any reference number from an adviser) in Solvay's storage area before moving to Knowa.

really stable, its great for communication between the trustees via chat. meetings are easily arranged and the agenda and timings can be dynamically modified if things change.
Pros
the centralised system is a one point for all things I need as a trustee
Cons
can be difficult to navigate all of the areas needed, especially with add on elements for risk register etc

I've found the experience easy, helpful and productive. The procurement process wasn't overly protracted and there was a great pragmatic approach to getting things up and running. When there are issues I've found the response time short and issues do get resolved. Customer service is clearly highly valued by the Knowa team and in a busy role like mine that's important.
Pros
Because it's so easy to use it really saves me valuable time. The functionality in meeting management is also helpful.
Cons
I don't use all of the functions however, what do use I like very much. Perhaps the only issue for me has been in the appearance of Excel in View mode and the need to convert to PDF format which doesn't always work well.
