Pros

Competitor

Pros

BoardEffect Diligent offers stronger AI-driven automation and governance intelligence, reducing manual board prep more effectively. Its security controls and compliance tooling are more robust for regulated enterprises, while the interface scales better for large, global boards with complex committee structures.
OnBoard Compared to OnBoard, Diligent provides deeper governance, risk, and compliance capabilities alongside board management. The AI summaries, risk scanning, and integrated market intelligence make it better suited for organizations that need advanced oversight rather than lightweight meeting tools.
BoardDocs Diligent surpasses BoardDocs with enterprise-grade security, AI-powered workflows, and broader governance coverage. It is more flexible for private and public companies, offering end-to-end board lifecycle management rather than primarily document publishing.
Nasdaq Boardvantage Diligent is generally easier for directors to adopt, with more automation in board books and minutes. Its AI features and integrated GRC ecosystem provide more operational value beyond meetings, especially for compliance-focused organizations.
iBabs While iBabs is strong in usability, Diligent offers superior analytics, AI insights, and scalability. Large enterprises benefit from Diligent’s broader integrations, reporting depth, and long-term ROI for complex governance environments.

Cons

Competitor

Cons

BoardEffect Diligent is typically more expensive and may feel excessive for smaller nonprofits that BoardEffect serves well. The advanced AI and compliance features can add complexity for teams that only need basic agenda and document sharing.
OnBoard OnBoard can be faster to deploy and simpler for small teams. Diligent’s enterprise focus means longer sales cycles and setup time, which may be a drawback for organizations seeking quick implementation.
BoardDocs Organizations used to BoardDocs’ simpler publishing model may find Diligent’s workflows more rigid at first. The learning curve can be steeper for administrative users transitioning from basic document portals.
Nasdaq Boardvantage Diligent lacks some native capital markets integrations that Nasdaq emphasizes. Companies deeply tied to Nasdaq’s ecosystem may find Boardvantage more aligned with their existing financial workflows.
iBabs Diligent’s pricing and feature depth can be overkill for smaller European organizations where iBabs offers a more cost-effective, lightweight experience focused purely on meetings.
