We performed a comparison between Board and Infor dEPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"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."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"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."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"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."
"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 can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly."
"The usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
