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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"Support from BOARD is fantastic; always returning with solutions for both server and application questions."
"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."
"If you want to streamline your business and reduce hourly time using the creation of spreadsheets or other financial reports that they should go for BOARD because it drastically reduces time."
"Board helps us to better explain KPI performance, thanks to the creation of dashboards that permit us to show the right information to discover trends and allows us to take action in advance."
"What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"If you are using only spreadsheets and have to download your data from various sources then you will have to reconcile these to build reports that make sense, this product will improve your life."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​"
"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."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions. Integration is a concern."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"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."
"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."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"The pricing is competitive."
