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.

Customizable features streamline installation and integration challenges remain
Our company is a partner of Infor in Germany. We mainly use Infor DEPM for finance solutions Infor DEPM has features that are well-prepared by Infor. I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements. This makes it easier to install and work with. With the prepared…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"The product is much easier to use, because it is geared towards more of a user-friendly force with the implementation."
"All the data is in one system, making it a one-stop system and solution for end-to-end planning."
"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 drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"This platform has helped our organization streamline our budget process and give us insight into our customers, products and services."
"BOARD was the only company that came onsite to do a demo, and their demonstration blew us away."
"I have been totally thrilled with BOARD."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"It has given us the ability to not only deliver key reports and metrics, but also to make them available on a self service basis."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"The Excel integration is great."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
 

Cons

"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."
"More visualization could be brought in more customization of data in regards to specific user requirements."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"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 at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​"
"We, and finance and accounting, use the client more, where everyone else is on the Web version. Going between the two makes it difficult sometimes."
"What could be better is the manual."
"Again, it's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"From my perspective, I think Infor dEPM is a good solution for clients who want to deep dive into data analysis in finance, but it may be complicated."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."
"The pricing is competitive."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
