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.

You can use the process mapping module to build processes that can be converted into SOPs. Licensing is unreasonable.
The process-mapping module helped the BPR team in creating detailed process maps quickly. The process converter tool helped the team establish baseline SOPs that can be taken further to implement comprehensive documentation that serves the departments’ needs. The content management part helped in sharing the processes safely with the rest of the organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"Support from BOARD is fantastic; always returning with solutions for both server and application questions."
"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"This platform has helped our organization streamline our budget process and give us insight into our customers, products and services."
"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"It has helped us manage our workflow."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The product has so many features, but it has some unique ones that most of the similar products do not have."
"The new QPR Suite 2014 including QPR EnterpriseArchitect, QPR ProcessDesigner, QPR Metrics and QPR ProcessAnalyzer delivers the right capabilities for business management and enterprise architects to support operational development and business transformation cases."
"The process mapping module is highly user friendly and allows users to quickly build processes with thorough details that can be converted into comprehensive end-to-end SOPs."
 

Cons

"Data import error messages can be improved to provide more information on why a record failed to get imported."
"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."
"The system solution is about a nine out of 10, and the only reason why I would give it a nine and not a 10, is that it still takes IT folks to really support it."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"The Windows client is a different story. It's not scalable at all, so we decided to go with the Web."
"Board's integration could be a bit more robust, but what we have works. If the design isn't right, the flexibility of Board can negatively impact performance."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"There should be an easier way of reporting, or producing, reports in MS Office."
"The QPR content management module is highly complex and difficult to use."
"Mobile features need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
