Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"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 most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"Flexibility of report configuration; allows for quick and simple amendments to definitions."
"Having one repository for various output formats and retention periods. Provides the flexibility to establish hundreds of different retention entries, based upon business need, and then group the like retention period outputs together on the same media. It is very efficient."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven. I cite the example that CA mainframe products were deemed to be compatible with Extended Address Volumes (EAV) - larger sized disk volumes - when they were not."
"Needs ability to allow export to xls/pdf, etc. (Note: this is available in add-on product CA – OM Web Viewer)."
