Wiboon Thabsuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features
I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products. Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.
Julia Lupidii - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly performance management with intuitive approach
I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy. In many organizations, there's a mix of IT professionals and business users with varying levels of technical expertise. One of the strengths of the solution includes a feature similar to SmartView, is that it allows users to work with Excel. Since Excel is a widely familiar tool, it reduces the learning curve and makes it more accessible to a broader audience within the organization. The workflow feature within the solution is particularly valuable. It simplifies complex processes into a step-by-step sequence, making it easy for users to follow along.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"The ability for integration and automatic loading from the Oracle system into CCH Tagetik is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
 

Cons

"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets​, I would like that going forward."
"Board's integration could be a bit more robust, but what we have works. If the design isn't right, the flexibility of Board can negatively impact performance."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"​My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. ​"
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"There is a need for improvement in the ability to generate all reports from one click, like both P&L and balance sheets, to be available together in Excel."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"The solution is quite expensive."
