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

"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"We are currently implementing Board Financial Consolidation package with Board consultants with optimum results in terms of time and comprehension of the product."
"I have been totally thrilled with BOARD."
"All the data is in one system, making it a one-stop system and solution for end-to-end planning."
"The product is much easier to use, because it is geared towards more of a user-friendly force with the implementation."
"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"In general, we would like to see better logging in the procedural world as we currently find it deficient in procedural areas."
"The Windows client is a different story. It's not scalable at all, so we decided to go with the Web."
"Implementation is rather complex. BOARD has a lot of flexibility, but it is sort of a development tool."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"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

"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 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."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
