Our Experience of Convene

Yorumlar: We introduced Convene in June 2019. Users quickly became familiar with the software. The value of this investment really showed when we were forced into office closures with the onset of the Covid Pandemic in March 2020. Our business decision making was able to continue and function effectively due to the flexibility available through use of Convene.
The biggest benefits are: savings in paper and print costs, saving in time spent producing and circulating meeting packs, ease of access to document library and previous meeting packs.

Artılar:

It was easy to implement and simple to learn how to use. We introduced Convene initially to improve the efficiency of non-executive Board & Committee meetings. Very soon after implementation the Governance team identified more areas for using the software and it is now used for multiple internal management & working group meetings / information sharing.

Eksileri:

Nothing really. If we have had any problems, the service team have been very helpful.

Benefits of Convene

Convene's cost is relatively high compared to other event or meeting space providers.

Convene - Easy to use and good value

Yorumlar: Convene saves having to make up paper board packs and is easier to distribute the papers with the click of a button and most importantly securely. I can also see who has downloaded their papers.

Artılar:

There are some really good features such as review room which we now use instead of Sharepoint which was more difficult to use. Convene is intuitive and meeting packs can be created quickly without having to convert papers to pdfs as the system does it easily. We also have single sign-on so its easy to access.

Eksileri:

The only downside is it probably dosen't look as polished as some of the more expensive competition but it does the job and is much easier to use than some of the better known competition and there ares ome really good features and tools included

Easy to understand and use

Yorumlar: I very much appreciate how Azeus Convene went out of its way to help us in procuring their product. Government requirements are very tedious for a foreign company joining our bidding but they complied.
Their support was also very helpful by providing training and presentations during the product evaluation.

Artılar:

The software is easy to use, secure and not as pricey as its competitors. The reduced time to prepare and send out folios to the intended recipients were major factors in deciding to use this software. We are also excited about the new features being introduced to improve the software. Price

Eksileri:

I would like the software to have OCR capabilities so that documents scanned and uploaded can be annotated.

Transitioning to Digital Meetings with Convene has been helpful

Yorumlar: Convene has helped us save a lot of time

Artılar:

Organizing meetings has been easier with the Agenda Builder of Convene. Letting people review and sign off on important documents has also been more efficient with the help of Convene. The software is also easy to use, you just need spend a little time to familiarize and learn how to use it.

We just have a hard time following updates, and I wish we can customize the survey.

Effective meetings through our computers and phones.

Smooth Experience for upper management

Artılar:

The document management and collaboration tools have been extremely helpful to our leadership team in promoting informed discussions and accelerating decision-making. The first and most crucial function is offering great security so that papers can be shared and stored. It also offers distant attendees in management meetings a better connected experience with the option to follow along with presentations in real-time. Additionally, setting up a resource folder for adding pertinent papers is really simple. Instead than scouring hard drives for documents when the board needs to consult them, they can just access the resource folder.

Eksileri:

As of right now, I haven't noticed any negative aspects; it's been working perfectly for me.

Like it!!

Mills & Reeve LLP

Yorumlar: Convene is a fantastic product. From setting the system up to rolling it out to users, Convene have supported us every step of the way. Response times to queries is impressive with workarounds/resolutions usually quickly found. The software has enabled preparation for Board meetings to be a quick process, saving time for other tasks during the day.

Artılar:

Great functionality, simple and intuitive to use. Convene has simplified my Board meeting preparation enormously. The ability to build an agenda, move items around (including attachments) is extremely easy and time saving. Convene's ability to export a pack of papers in a matter of minutes has saved me almost a full working day of preparation. With the onset of the pandemic, Convene was used for lots of different meetings, purely because of its functionality and speed of use.

Eksileri:

I have encountered a couple of issues regarding the uploading of Excel spreadsheets and password protected documents. The former has mainly been resolved by ensuring a pdf of the document is prepared and uploaded. I have not found a resolution to uploading password protected documents, so simply print a hard copy and scan in.

Brilliant Platform

Yorumlar: I am very happy with the product and the customer support team are very good.

Artılar:

I like how easy it is to use. It makes life a lot easier, provides audit trails and assists me in my role.

Eksileri:

To be honest, there is nothing I don't like.

Great

Yorumlar: Our organisation have had a great experience on using Convene, it was easy to use and the support provided has been great. We had been discussion moving across to using a software for a while and am glad we came across this software as it has had a huge impact on how we work.

Artılar:

Easy to use, costs are great in comparison to other software we were looking at, made a big difference in how we work especially during the covid-19 crisis where sending paper out would have been difficult via post.

Eksileri:

Not many areas would be good to be able to annotate onto the agenda items.

Extremely positive experience from first contact to introducing and using the software

Yorumlar: Cost and time savings - not having to produce paper copies for meetings; users receive papers instantly instead of waiting for the post; published papers can be replaced easily etc.
Greater flexibility - easier to carry an ipad than heavy packs of papers; papers for previous meetings are all in one place so easily accessible.

Artılar:

Very easy to use as an administrator and user. The software is very intuitive and, despite some initial resistance to moving to paperless meetings (myself included!) I've not had any negative comments from users and some are keen to extend use within their own departments. I'm told by those who use other packages that it compares very well with other more expensive software and is very good value for money. Support from Convene has been excellent with a friendly, supportive account manager who is quick to respond to any queries and who is very good at explaining things.

Eksileri:

There isn't anything I don't like about this software. There are one or two small things which could be improved but I understand the software is constantly being refined and Convene are keen to explore suggestions.

Convenient and professional meeting assistant

Yorumlar: Time-saving and convenient to use for the Board members as well as for a meeting secretary

Artılar:

Such features as the possibility to make notes in the document and share comments with other attendees make it very easy for the Board members to share their opinions beforehand. From the administrator’s perspective, the app makes it easier to update the meeting materials as the app notifies the users regarding the update automatically. We are also very impressed by the customer support provided by Azeus Convine.

Eksileri:

The only inconvenience we encountered while using the app is with excel files. The App automatically transforms the files into pdf file for an easier use, however if the excel file is very big and contains large amount of data on each sheet, it is a bit difficult to transform excel file into a pdf file.

Streamlining of Board papers

Artılar:

straight forward to use. no complicated features.

Eksileri:

As we need to export the final board pack the additional head pages are not really needed.

Great software, very user friendly

Yorumlar: The software has saved the organisation a lot of time and money (and paper!!)

Artılar:

A) Very user friendly B) Easy to use and navigate through C) Very useful back end team / good customer service

Class leading

Artılar:

Before signing up as a customer we reviewed a host of board management solutions and Convene ticked most of the boxes for us. Now that we are actually using it I am most impressed with the support and the fact that the team is open to receiving suggestions from clients for product enhancements.

Eksileri:

I don’t like that certain optional modules cost extra.

Using it on in 3 different companies, I found it user friendly and rich in functionality.

Yorumlar: The company projects a good image. The employees exercise very good customer care and support.

Artılar:

I particularly like the voting feature, which helps very much in a project of evaluating candidates for awards.

Eksileri:

can it be combined with communication tools like webex or zoom?

User friendly software

Yorumlar: Invaluable!

A digital tool that integrated processes

Yorumlar: I appreciate very much the support given by the Convene sales and support team from the very initial stage of shortlisting the vendors until the final stage on boarding the users across the region. The presentations and trainings have also successfully kept the users engaged with the new software.

Artılar:

Azeus Convene had successfully integrated new features to accommodate our internal processes. The software has helped us tremendously in digitising the manual meeting processes from pre to post meetings.

Eksileri:

There were some lacking in the video and audio conference features. We look forward to more refined and advanced features in these aspects.
