Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"Automated reporting."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
