Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"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 ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"The solution is fast."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"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."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"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."
"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 needs work with visualization."
"QlikView certainly lacks in its ability to share visualizations or create visualizations easily."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"Better source data connectors."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
