Diligent Boards review
Bottom line
Diligent Boards is a secure governance workspace that covers meeting preparation, board materials, minutes, and voting in one web platform. Its clearest strength is depth: it connects board management to a wider GRC suite and offers AI-assisted answers drawn from stored board materials. The main cost to watch is that pricing is not published and requires a demo request, and the product runs only in the browser. It suits corporate secretaries and boards at larger public, private, or nonprofit organizations that need governance tools beyond a basic board portal.
What is Diligent Boards?
Diligent Boards is board management software for directors, corporate secretaries, and executive teams. It replaces the email attachments, shared folders, and scattered files that many boards use to prepare for meetings, and it keeps board materials, decisions, and governance records in one secure workspace.
Day to day, a corporate secretary assembles meeting materials, assigns tasks, and distributes them to directors, who review them inside the platform. Directors can access materials offline, add comments and notes, and vote in polls. The product includes committee management, minutes management, meeting notes, and task scheduling. GovernAI lets directors ask questions of their stored board materials and receive answers with citations to the source documents. Integrations with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Zoom Workplace, Webex Suite, Okta, DocuSign, and NetSuite let teams keep working in the tools they already use.
The platform serves public companies, private companies, and nonprofits, with customers ranging from small businesses to enterprises. Corporate secretaries, general counsel, executive assistants, and directors are the primary users. Pricing is not published. Organizations request a demo and receive a quote tailored to their size and stage of growth. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
What sets Diligent Boards apart is that board management sits inside a broader governance, risk, and compliance suite. Organizations can add risk, compliance, and audit modules from the same vendor, and Diligent AI applications support board preparation, workflows, and risk reporting. Many board tools handle only meeting files, while this one connects governance records to risk and audit data. More than 25,000 customers use the company's products, and 75% of the Fortune 500 use Diligent AI.
