Aprio vs Boardable: beware of self-serve limited service
As board portal software is used by some of the most influential and time-starved people in your organization, it is paramount that product support is highly professional and useful. But not all board portals offer the same caliber of responsive service or personalized training.
Boardable offers various levels of customer support and training depending on your plan. For example, Boardable Academy is offered to every user to browse through quick-start guides, video tutorials and webinars. But to work with a designated customer success manager, access 24/7 technical support or get personalized training, you’ll need a professional or enterprise plan.
When you call Aprio, you’ll talk with a former board administrator—24/7, 365 days a year. Aprio is the only board portal on the market that offers expert service from former board administrators who know firsthand the stresses and urgencies of board meeting management and communication – for every customer.
We’re proud of our track record of excellence in customer support and training, achieving a 95% customer loyalty rate.
