Overall this platform has helped us in increasing the efficiency of our Board communication. > > **Cons**: I haven't noticed any so far. I think the product is headed in the right direction and they listen to customer feedback. > > Our Board members are often traveling, and the platform is a real saver when it comes to conducting meetings with a few members joining online. Has all the needed features like voting on issues and a few more. The essential one is action items. It helps us to track progress and making sure that each meeting has clear outcomes. ----- ### "Meetings made easy\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *27 September 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BoardMaps has helped our meetings become more efficient. The system helps focus on each agenda item and decision, and provides a way for us to add and track follow-up activities. Being able to generate the meeting minutes in BoardMaps based on our templates has also saved us a ton of time, and our members love that information from past meetings is available anytime they want to refer back to it. Everything is there and in one place. > > **Cons**: It took a little while to figure out all of the permission settings, but now it is working exactly as we hoped. > > Overall we have had a great experience with BoardMaps. It has really helped us stay focused and organized during and after our meetings. The interface is very smooth, polished and user friendly. I can easily find exactly what I need. ----- ### "It's very a useful, and secure tool." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find the interface very clean and straightforward, which means I don't need extensive training to get started. It’s accessible for board members who might not be tech-savvy. > > **Cons**: I find that copying folder structures and files from one project to another can be a bit clunky, and I have to re-set permissions sometimes. > > Overall, I see iDeals Board as a professional, highly secure, and reliable tool that makes board governance much easier, despite the higher cost. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/474590/iDealsBoard) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
