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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."

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

"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."

"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."

"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."

More Board pros

"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

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

"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."

"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 would like to see better logging in the procedural world."

"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."

"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."

"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."

"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."

More Board cons

"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."

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
