We share documents and spend less on printing, sheets and ink, it is a software that has a high image resolution and good audio quality. ----- ### "Durable Meetings With Convene" — 5.0/5 > **Ian** | *23 January 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Absolutely the kind of meetings i have with Convene are so much convenient with quality video. It has a strong internet connection making virtual meeting good to conduct. I also use this software to manage meetings and this saves ne time to do other things. > > **Cons**: I don't have any dislikes with this platform because it does the work well and i can communicate freely with clients who are far from me with Convene and come to an understanding. > > To anyone looking for a platform that will connect you with your clients at ease and through video meetings, i would recommend them to use Convene. ----- ### "User Interface." — 5.0/5 > **Emanuel** | *25 October 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It interface is user friendly making it easier to navigate. > > **Cons**: The app sometimes lags during video calls. > > My overall experience has been fantastic. ----- ### "Clearer meetings and better-directed decisions with Convene" — 4.0/5 > **Christina** | *23 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Convene runs very well during all types of meetings - and especially during meeting votes; we can finalize votes on decisions as soon as possible, without wasting too much time. Convene’s anonymous ballot option allow us to provide input that is much more sincere than if we had to identify ourselves, therefore it will be noticed by others. In addition to this, we utilize the review room for collaborating on documents. It has been greatly beneficial for us to be able to leave comments on documents, highlight items and/or make annotations on them collectively. Also, there is an embedded laser pointer option within Convene that has proven to be extremely useful for pointing to important data during our presentations. > > **Cons**: At first, the interface was somewhat overwhelming; however, the customer service team was quick to respond and after we made some adjustments to the user interface and provided a number of personalization options, we were able to significantly simplify the experience. > > The creation of agendas with attached documents has assisted in creating a smoother flow of information throughout our recruitment meetings. In addition, the ability to collaborate on documents during virtual meetings using Convene’s integrated voting option has significantly reduced miscommunication issues. As a result, decisions are much clearer, more aligned and ultimately better-documented. ----- ### "IG Design Group plc Review December 2024" — 4.0/5 > **Marianne** | *6 December 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the Agenda building as it is really simple but effective, the ability to write notes which you can then transport into Minutes, the review rooms for minute review, and the surveys function. > > **Cons**: The layout of the Minutes template is a bit clunky to adjust. We have had this discussion with our account manager so they are aware. I think the underlying logic makes it difficult to change but if this could be improved it would be really useful. > > Excellent. When I have an issue or a question the response is always prompt and the platform is really usable and useful. Better than another platform with which I have more experience. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/50601/convene?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/50601/convene) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
