Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Numeric helps connect our finance and accounting teams like never before. It works for me individually and in a team capacity. Whether tracking my own tasks or checking the progress of other collaborative tasks Numeric has been perfect. The flux analysis has also made it incredibly easy to drill down into details of where our books have changed month over month. As such, I can ask more concise questions of our accounting team.

We have to use a windows scheduler to schedule data import tasks; it would be great if Board could provide its own scheduler. Read full review There are no areas to improve that I can think of. The team is always responsive and really open to my feedback and ideas which I love.

Read full review Usability 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.

Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review In-Person Training 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

Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review In the past, I have used
FloQast and the UI was not as appealing as Numeric; nor was it nearly as intuitive. I think Numeric is better overall and works well for our team.
