Wiboon Thabsuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features
I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products. Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.

Provides all essential features needed in an integrated Enterprise Performance Management framework
The solution's initial setup/configuration is straightforward. As far as cloud setup is concerned, no installation is involved. In that case, the solution is maintained and hosted by Oracle. The time frame for deployment depends on the use cases. It is rapidly deployable for out-of-the-box features and customizable for any further changes/enhancements needed. It takes anywhere between six to ten weeks to deploy for standard requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"We can build reports super fast.​"
"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."
"The solution offers well-integrated and dynamic platforms for all disciplines of enterprise performance management."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive."
"​My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. ​"
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"On the cloud, additional security is required."
"Integration of AI, IoT, and RPA-based automation and prediction features with the solution will be a great plus. Oracle is continuously investing efforts in this direction and new features are being released on a continuous basis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"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."
"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."
"Its licensing covers support and maintenance infrastructure as well."
