iBabs Reviews

Pros

Uploading documents is simple and rearranging their order within a meeting is just as simple by dragging them into place.

Cons

At the beginning, it was confusing to figure out who should be assigned to a group versus an agenda type. The distinction can be hard to judge sometimes,who belongs in the group and who should be allowed to view the agenda type even if they are not part of that group.

Pros

One of iBabs' biggest strengths is how well the offline functionality works. A lot of managers travel often or have to work in places with unreliable connections so being able to access all board documentation without internet is a very valuable advantage.

Cons

Even though the interface is clean, the shift from paper or email to software can still be challenging for less tech-savvy board members. It takes some initial training before they feel comfortable using features like shared annotations or the voting system.

Pros

After several months of using it in our nonprofit, I honestly couldn't be happier with it. The platform has completely changed the way we handle our board meetings.

Cons

None at all. It offers offline access and user friendly iOS and Android apps which makes hybrid meetings much easier to manage. The support team has also been exceptional, always replying quickly and guiding us through the implementation without any hassle.

Pros

Having all the meeting documents gathered in one place is the biggest advantage. It makes getting ready for meetings much faster and helps keep everything well organized.

Cons

The interface does feel a little outdated. If you're new, you may need some time to get comfortable navigating the menus.

Pros

As a board member, it has been a very convenient way for me to receive documents securely. It's simple to handle, even when I'm not using the tool on a regular basis and I can also add annotations to the documents I receive.

Cons

It would be even better if documents were available offline especially during long flights. I'd also appreciate a zipped download option for storing files later and I would prefer another secure login method, such as SMS, instead of relying only on an authenticator.

Pros

Using it feels very user friendly which is by far the biggest advantage. I didn't have to learn anything first and could start working with it right away without any extra instructions. Another big plus is that I always have all my documents complete and in one place. Also, I can access everything anytime and anywhere. Forgetting important papers is now almost impossible.

Cons

No cons!

Pros

The documents are presented in a very clear organized way and being able to add notes and quickly find them again is really useful.

Cons

I have no real downsides. The only thing that would make it even better is having a link to the previous version when a document has been revised and attached to the next meeting so earlier notes are immediately available.

Pros

Everything in it is clear and well organized. It gives quick, convenient insight into ongoing cases and the use of icons and colors makes the status immediately understandable at a glance.

Cons

The search function could be improved a bit since it doesn't always feel very user friendly. Other than that, the design does come across as somewhat outdated.

Pros

Love that its accessible to use. It offers plenty of options to set things up the way you want and makes it possible to bring different functions together in one application.

Cons

Not familiar with all the possibilities yet. Having to switch back and forth between the case management system, iBabs, Word and PDF can be inconvenient and at times it feels a bit too generic.

Pros

Interface is clear and very well organized and I never have to worry for a second about confidentiality or privacy issues.

Cons

My computer, that remembers all my other usernames and passwords, doesn't automatically save the login for this. That means I have to type in my long email address and long password every time which takes extra time and is a shame.

Pros

It's pretty well organized and all the information you need is easy to find.

Cons

Happen fairly often that iBabs has a small glitch but its not that bad i would say

Pros

One of the biggest advantages is that everyone in a meeting can see all the documents at a glance and it also allows people to make notes during the meeting.

Cons

Up to now, I haven't really come across any downsides. Uploading PowerPoint presentations takes a little longer but it hasn't been an issue for me.

Pros

Using the program feels very user friendly. The complete audit trail for decisions and the handling of action items is recorded carefully with very little effort.

Cons

A downside is that you can't fully apply your own branding to exported documents. Because of that, I have to adjust the colors manually after every export to match our house style.

Pros

Everything feels clear and well organized and I can edit documents without any hassle. It's also really useful that I'm able to add comments directly in the text.

Cons

I can't add meetings and similar items myself so I have to contact iBabs for that.

Pros

It's really practical for organizing meetings and it also gives me confidence because it follows high standards and holds certifications thanks to its ISO compliance.

Cons

Haven't come across any drawbacks with the app.

Pros

This is a practical app for hosting meetings with solid security built into the platform.

Cons

Once you hit the usage limit, you have to start paying and the price is not very affordable.

Pros

Having everything in one place saves us a lot of time and we always know we're working from the latest version of any document. There's no need to keep emailing files back and forth to everyone involved anymore. The data is securely stored behind multi-factor authentication and the digital signing feature helps us stay completely paperless and fully digital.

Cons

There's very little to complain about but I would have appreciated a multi-day agenda that could span several days instead of needing to create a separate agenda for each one.

Pros

Actions tracking feature is the first thing that stands out to me. Ever since our team began using iBabs, meeting follow-up has improved a lot. Action points don't disappear into the minutes anymore because everyone can clearly see the full list of open items. Another big plus is how much more smooth meeting preparation has become. I can annotate my documents without any hassle and share my notes with colleagues very easily.

Cons

It can be a bit impractical to run meetings when other organizations are involved and they aren't using it themselves.

Pros

Right from the start, it has been a pleasure to use. The portal is very simple to manage, whether it's setting up users, creating agendas and meetings or uploading and previewing packs. The move over was very smooth and the advantages were clear immediately. From the user side, it's just as positive because once you're logged in, everything feels user friendly. The sharing and annotation features are a huge benefit as well.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of anything about it that I dislike.

Pros

The platform is clear, user-friendly and well organized, both for regular users and for administrators.

Cons

At this point, I haven't noticed any drawbacks.
