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

"We can build reports super fast.​"
"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The ROI is great."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print."
"Pricing and licensing are not standard, but it can be tailored according to company needs."
"​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​"
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting."
"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."
"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."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
 

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."
