BOARD Software Reviews

“Very interesting and powerful

Pros

The software delivers great results and is very powerful. The interface for end users is simple and intuitive, and it's easy to maintain.

Cons

Implementing special requirements from the business can be complex at times, as it often requires adherence to the proposed solution.

“powerful easy-to-use solution for simple reports. When it's a bit more complicated, training needed

Pros

Once all the cubes are designed, creating reports becomes a hassle free process. Managing security profiles is also simple, and it's possible to import data from various sources.

Cons

Personally, I found the initial creation of cubes and entities to be a bit challenging for someone new to the system. It requires some training to get the hang of it.

“Excellent software, data management and reports excellent source for managers

Pros

This tool is simple, intuitive and powerful which meets a wide range of business intelligence needs. Its drill down capacity allows for in depth analysis of data.

Cons

Setting up the data for use can be time-consuming (although once the dashboard is set up, it remains useful for a long time thanks to data refresh options).

“Implemented Board for Budgeting&Reporting and for Business Intelligence, Board is solid and powerful

Pros

Architecture of this software is robust and powerful. It offers a solid all in one data approach which makes it a potential "single point of truth."

Cons

The robust architecture for data management requires a well-structured data model. The expertise of good consultants can make a significant difference during implementation.

“An easy to use drag ans drop solution !

Pros

The user interface is friendly, and it is flexible and appropriate for a wide range of different uses. Customer support is easily accessible.

Cons

It would be helpful to have a common platform to share problems, questions, issues, and best practices with other users. However, I've heard that this problem will be resolved soon.

“first BI project with an excellent tool

Pros

This tool is simple, intuitive and powerful which caters to various business intelligence needs without requiring an extensive computer engineering background.

Cons

Based on our testing, it would be beneficial to have more template choices with scorecards, icons, and pictures. This would make it easier to create simple dashboards.

“We have chosen Board 7 months ago, after pitching Board, Tagetik, Adaptive Insights and IBM

Pros

We highly value the superiority of the integration team and their understanding of our challenges. The product is well suited to our needs, and the implementation was quick.

Cons

Some dashboards could be more user-friendly, although the web access is generally more intuitive than the standard version.

“Very good product, easy to use and to implement, with great functionalities useful for business

Pros

Creating numerous dashboards and reports with a large volume of data was quick and easy. The tool allowed final users to analyze business data quickly. Also all new requests could be handled without any issues.

Cons

I very much love this software, and so far, I haven't encountered any significant issues. There is only one observation I've made: in a dashboard with a summary table, it's not possible to place the sum of the columns in the first row, only at the end. This can be inconvenient when dealing with a large number of rows.
