Enter Fellow – The best Navigator alternative

What is Fellow?

Fellow is the meeting management software that allows its users to create and collaborate on meeting agendas, meeting notes and action items. Through syncing Fellow with your Google Calendar, you’ll have a side by side view of your calendar events and the agendas that belong to each of those meetings – making it easier than ever to prepare for your conversations!

Fellow also allows its users to create daily planners and streams to keep themselves on track each day. The daily planner helps users prioritize their tasks from most important to least important, to ensure that tasks are completed by importance and less important tasks aren’t forgotten about.

How Fellow has helped its users (testimonials)

If you still don’t believe us that Fellow is the best meeting management software platform on the market (and yes, we mean better than Navigator too!), then take some of our users’ words for it:

What makes Fellow a better alternative?

Unlike Navigator, Fellow allows its users to create private and shared streams. These streams help users stay on top of daily tasks and manage what other team members are doing. 

Furthermore, Fellow’s feedback feature allows users to give and receive feedback. This is a very useful tool as it allows team members to ask for feedback about themselves from their superiors or ask about feedback from another team member (for example, in the case of a manager asking another manager for feedback on an employee). The feedback feature can also be used as a way to anonymously ask for feedback on new projects or ideas (for example, new meeting agenda templates being used).

Parting words

We understand that making a switch to a new platform is a big deal. You want to ensure that you’re getting a good value for the price you’re paying and that the platform will help you and your team. 

Fellow’s competitive prices ensure that users are getting the best features possible to enhance their meeting experience. Fellow also prompts accountability and fosters productivity by creating shared and private streams, action items, and feedback requests. 

If you are considering using a meeting management software (and, you should!), give Fellow a try and see for yourself why it is so loved by its users!

“Fellow has completely changed the way we manage remote meetings. With 100+ people in 32 different countries, Fellow was one of the tools that took our remote meetings from confusion to clarity”
