We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good.""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.""With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support.""The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it.""The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control.""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.""The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts.""​Our data is now more structured. Between our data warehouse and BOARD, which are both brand new, we now have a more structured data view with more accurate, timely data."

More Board Pros →

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields.""I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten.""The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application.""The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive.""We can set any property dynamically.""The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy.""The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."

Cons
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD.""I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical.""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.""I would like to see better relationships with the partners.""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.""We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​""The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used.""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."

More Board Cons →

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement.""The upgrades are not easy.""Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement.""A better focus should be put on self-service reporting.""The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations.""We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.""The reporting templates have room for improvement.""There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."

    Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same companies are caught up in an imbrogilo as to which tool to use, what are the technology/and end business user wise differences/ do i actually need to purchase commercial edition, is there any work around etc. Differences :- In the below mentioned points, I have tried to cover functionality wise the differences a. Reports :- Jaspersoft is known for its picture pixel perfect reporting. Jasper uses ireport for designing the reports. Hence, for having reports, Jaspersoft is the most ideal candidate. Pentaho uses Pentaho Report Designer. b. Dashboards :- Pentaho provides much more capabililties, interactivity in terms of dashboards. Dashboards designed in Pentaho are far more superior in functionality, aesthetically as compared to Jaspersoft. Pentaho CE uses CDE/CDF, Pentaho EE uses PDD . Dashboard functionality is present only in the Enterprise edition of Jaspersoft. c. Pentaho is having an intermediate layer known as Xactions & hence providing much more flexibility in terms of plugin designing, integration with applications, having out of box experience etc. Xactions supports scripting and scheduling of scripts execution. Jaspersoft dosent provide that much of flexibility in terms of… Read more →
