Board vs. Netstock

Board is a useful tool with a great set of features. We migrated from human apps to board and we find it relatively fast in search results and better-managed threads and forums. There are some areas, such as UI and interactions which could be improved but overall a great product. The learning section is also pretty good.

Based on our experience qith Netstock, there is no more excuses to stick with old, inefficient methods to manage and optimize inventory and purchasing. For us, Netstock pays itself and then some with all the time and guesswork we save. Nowadays, technology solutions are a must to stay ahead of the competition.

• The financial forecasting that Board provides post-analysis is truly reliable

• Global visibility , added value for stock assisstance
• Areas that need attention are displayed on the dashboard with option to drill down if required
• With more than 5000 different SKU it is difficult to keep track of all activities related to each SKU, the process is simplified with the help of this tool, everyone has access to the right information.

• Board BI tool has a steep learning curve and can be challenging for a new user to reach to board's full capacity.
• We have to use a windows scheduler to schedule data import tasks; it would be great if Board could provide its own scheduler.

• Supersession designation of item by region - Each market is different, having the ability to assign a supersession item specific to each mark would be nice feature
• User report creation, ability to create custom reports utilizing existing fields within the Netstock environment without the need to approach Netstock and have the ability to schedule the report creation. (Similar to Analytics functionality)
• Option to be able to view all "AI" opportunities for a given location with a single click, currently you need to click one by one to see all the opportunities.
• Ability to limit comment creation based on user permission, currently regardless of the read of write permission a user can apply their comments to all locations by selecting the "To all locations" check box.

Board is a fantastic product for swift BI solution delivery when compared with its peers. Ease of use, support and integration with Microsoft Office Addin open a wide horizon of opportunities for further enhancements to solutions. Easy bespoke app development capabilities make it a winner for us. BOARD is just like a white canvas, it lets you explore your creative side while designing and delivering a solution

From a user perspective, Board is quite simple to use. You
can evaluate the presentation of the data, the navigation, the configuration of
the users, the selection of the data etc ... It would have a better rating if
it were even more intuitive as regards the construction of a project, starting
from the database, to the info-cubes, to entities, to data acquisition
procedures from other servers.

The only time I needed assistance was due to a problem in
the prints: the colors of the brochures as they were on the screen were not
reproduced in the print, but a series of standard colors were reproduced. This
fact made colored numbers on a colored background illegible. From the
assistance they confirmed that it was a problem of version 10.2 that occurred
when leaving the brochures with the default colors proposed by Board. To obtain
the desired colors, they had to be personalized ... I didn't like the solution
very much and the technician who recommended it didn't like me either, but they
would have solved the problem with the following versions. In any case, the
assistance was quick and effective even if not exactly efficient.

Board is fairly simple and straight forward. Advance training on workflows and procedures is a good one but the training content only touches through the interesting areas. training content needs to cover a few areas more in-depth

The problem of user profiling in our context is certainly
quite complex. The complexity is given by the fact that the company is divided
territorially into logistic points of sale, but at the same time they are
virtually divided into divisions (or specific implementation areas) and points
of sale of competence. The same operator can have access to data at different
logistic sales points, sales points of competence and divisions.

Board has been more complete when compared to Anaplan. Although I didn't participate in the buying decision of any of those products I have used both and by far Board just has more features. It's more than a CPM, it's BI and CPM put together. If I had to make a choice now it would be Board.

i didnt shop around because Netstock had what we needed and it was going to work well with our old and our new accounting systems.
