Offers flexibility in design and saves time in budgeting and forecasting processes
I find Board to be simple and easy to use. It offers significant flexibility in designing solutions. The system overall is very useful, with many capabilities that provide flexibility. Our budgeting and forecasting processes support around three hundred twenty users who would otherwise rely on Excel, making Board invaluable for saving time.

Gives us one repository for various output formats and retention periods
A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven. Much like other technology companies that have fallen into this trap, let feature and compatibly releases be controlled by the technical group, instead of the marketing and/or management people. 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. I have been doing this for 37 years and see it all too often, sometimes to the detriment of the company itself (Storage Technology Corp. and its Iceberg array comes to mind).

Pros

"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"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."
"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"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."
"I find Board to be simple and easy to use."
"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system."
"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."
"Extremely stable and reliable, and easy to install."
"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."
"Having one repository for various output formats and retention periods, with 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, is very efficient."
"Flexibility of report configuration; allows for quick and simple amendments to definitions."
"The benefits are that it keeps their information for over 40 to 50 years, so in essence it's a digital bank for customer information."
 

Cons

"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."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"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."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive."
"Implementation is rather complex. BOARD has a lot of flexibility, but it is sort of a development tool."
"Needs ability to allow export to xls/pdf, etc. (Note: this is available in add-on product CA – OM Web Viewer)."

"I work with the developers so I get what I want built into the project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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