User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Diligent is pricey, so it is suitable for large-size organizations with sufficient funding. Universities and colleges would be good clients. Diligent is not suitable for small organizations or not-for-profit organizations due to the pricing. There are other options to distribute and share documents, such as Google format, so I think pricing is the key to expand the market for Diligent.

Cons	No answers on this topic	I am using one click, it would be nice to see what board members see I mentioned before I would like to be able to sort documents by various parameters like importance, date, type Talking to other assistance i find that everyone knows something different about quicker ways to load, maybe a weekly/monthly tip would be beneficial.
