When it comes to Board's analytics part, I need to think about other products in order to make a comparison. Speaking about the analytics part, I would say that Sisense is a lot better than Board.Board is fine, but it still needs to have some AI features in it. Right now, Board doesn't have any AI features, so it just can't deal with simple predictions. The tool can integrate with other products, or maybe you can customize some API to connect to the source. I would say that, in general, the connections could be fine. From five, three of the connections should be fine. The product itself looks good and easy to use. The end user can also customize many things in the product. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

We use Board for just the integration with Business Central. We do not use the drag-and-drop interface. We do not use it for predictive analytics. We are not growing now. We have stable full-time employees. Our turnover is stable. People evaluating the product must know what they must have for their analytic needs. A specialist can create the report. The most important thing is to know what we want, which forms, which reports, and what they should look like. We must have a good accounting system. Everything should be done properly to get the correct report. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
It's a very interesting solution, and you have to have some knowledge on the Board before using it because it's not an easy tool to learn. For users that do not have experience with the BI or Power BI or some similar tools can find Board a bit complicated. It's a good tool. It's a powerful tool, easy to use and deploy, but it needs some improvement. I rate it seven out of ten.
I rate the solution a seven out of ten and recommend it to users considering it. The solution is good, but the stability can be improved, and more sparsity videos can be included in Board education academic tools to aid learning and better understand how to work out calculations.
Go with the latest version. Even my customers should have done so. If you're a new customer going with Board, go with the latest cloud version, always. The latest version is always best and it will solve most of the issues. If our customers are happy, we are happy. If Board is making things simpler for our users, we'll be getting more licenses and we can suggest that users use more features of Board. It is making life and their work simpler. That is very good and that is the main objective for us.

With Board I have learned how to deal with the master data and how to think about workflow, dataflow. and the structure of the cube.
