Quotes From Members

Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well.""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.""It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports.""We can build reports super fast.​""We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""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.""Now, we have only one version of the truth."
