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.

Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively

RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."

"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."

"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."

"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."

"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."

"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."

"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system."

"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."

More Board pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."

Cons

"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."

"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."

"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."

"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."

"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."

"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."

"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "

"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."

More Board cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."

"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."

"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."

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
