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.

Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."
"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."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"We have been very happy with what we have seen."
"I like this solution because it's so versatile, you can really model it after your specific business practices."
"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."
"This platform has helped our organization streamline our budget process and give us insight into our customers, products and services."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"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 are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It needs improvement in the areas of sales, credit, and supply chain."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
