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

"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."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"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."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"All the data is in one system, making it a one-stop system and solution for end-to-end planning."
"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 like this solution because it's so versatile, you can really model it after your specific business practices."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"Pricing and licensing are not standard, but it can be tailored according to company needs."
"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."
"The issues that we have with Board are small."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"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

"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"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."
"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
