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.

Automatic data integration and validation streamline financial reporting
I am an external consultant for an insurance company where CCH Tagetik was implemented instead of Oracle HFM about two years ago. I support preparing data for CCH Tagetik by preparing files, loading data via IPL, and supporting integration from Oracle or any other general ledger that entities use…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"I have been totally thrilled with BOARD."
"We use it across our entire business; we use it for financial data, inventory data, sales data, and inventory transaction data, and it is performing very well."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"The ability for integration and automatic loading from the Oracle system into CCH Tagetik is very valuable."
"It's user friendly, and it doesn't require code programming, with only the parameters needing to be entered."
"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 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."
"APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included, is very powerful, and accounting and financial departments members like it."
 

Cons

"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."
"In general, we would like to see better logging in the procedural world as we currently find it deficient in procedural areas."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"Because of the on-the-fly functionalities, we do see that especially with larger databases, the response times of the reports are under pressure."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"Stability issues: Yes there are."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"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."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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