We were in need of a reliable reporting tool that had to process and analyze how our services were performing among our clients. We needed it to be intelligent enough in terms of forecasting so that we were able to make better budgeting decisions and plan finances. We hired a financial consultant, and he had suggested going with Board, and when we did, it changed our game completely. Ever since, we have been able to better manage and monitor our budgets, cash flow, etc. The analysis and self-service reporting capabilities that Board provides have been a game-changer in helping us optimize our financial planning.
  • The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate
  • You don't need programming knowledge to create dashboards which is a great flex for non-technical users
  • You can seamlessly convert large, raw, and complex data to meaningful reports to visualize better and plan to act accordingly
  • The financial forecasting that Board provides post-analysis is truly reliable
  • The support turn-around time for critical issues could be improved a bit. We had to wait a few days for a couple of critical issues to be solved.
  • The cost is a little bit on the higher end of the spectrum. This could be a deal-breaker for startups and small companies.
  • Apart from a few minor issues, there isn't much to dislike about Board. It's a reliable platform that does the job of enabling better decision-making.
Well Suited: Most of the time, creating budgets and planning finances from an organization level can be messy and involve a lot of intense discussions. Board does the job well and behaves like a funnel that converts raw and complex data to beautiful, meaningful, and actionable reports. Ever since our purchase, it has been a major player in the growth of our business.

Less Appropriate: I really can't think of a situation where I would not recommend Board to a business that wants to thrive, but as I've mentioned in the dislikes, the cost is a bit high, and that could be a dealbreaker for startups and small companies.

One of the functions that Board has optimized within our management has been the expansion of our possibilities when performing data recovery as it's easy to visualize the information within the Board platform. For this reason, we are quite satisfied with our user experience as it has helped us to broaden our work horizons.
  • Board adapts quickly to the services that we integrate to our work, so being a software that we can manage through tools such as an API, with which we generally cover integrations with certain services, we get a better quality of work to make specific operations, for example, planning, although this is only with certain services, as it happens to be with Basecamp.
  • Board does not have a library that is useful for the administrative management of the work extensions we use, which keeps quite limited the ease with which we can interconnect the work with the work done in other planning services, and at the same time also limits the number of plugins we can use when working, so we emphasize that its ability to connect is very good, as discussed in the previous section, but only with some services.
Board is undoubtedly very good when it comes to carrying out the administration of dashboards where the information handled can be removed or attached to one or more extra files to extend the management. This leads to high-quality interactive reports which serve to make the work more dynamic and varied.

It is also easy to create reports when all cubes are designed, easy management of the security profile to import data from different sources with friendly and good business.

  • Dynamic Report Dashboard..
  • Business Simulations based on Predictive Analytics.
  • I am not really sure.
Board is fantastic when it comes to merging data from a legacy system and new Cloud-Based sources. Online analytical processing (OLAP) I would say is the best in Board. All these points can be fed into a single Processing Unit to generate common and unified Metadata with an accurately defined data hierarchy..

With the assistance of Board, we have come nearer to its objective of making an arranging framework scene that is seen at all levels as an enhancement rather than a commitment, and we are presently taking advantage of all of its intelligence and information forecast capacities. The Board arrangement reflects our target arranging scene and was a huge component in the Corporate Controlling group meeting its functional objectives.
  • The framework-based assortment of subjective information and advanced control for straightforward endorsement processes has essentially sped up arranging exercises.
  • The straightforwardness of the Board application and the simple arrangement of new arranging layouts and reports, with next to no top to bottom IT information, bring the arranging devices nearer to the expert divisions and permit the specialists to rapidly and subjectively examine the information.
Inside a brief time frame, bdg set up an incorporated eatery area arranging arrangement which was unmistakably fit to our business necessities. Notwithstanding backing and upkeep, Board offers help for altering and expanding the arrangement. Because of viable client and executive preparation, we can now freely control its arranging arrangement and improve processes.

Board is implemented and is currently being used by almost all departments in our organization. Pretty much all the Online App Services teams use Board to understand what the customer needs and make appropriate changes to the services and products. To be honest, it is very user-friendly and anyone could start pulling reports in a few hours of understanding the system.
  • Customizing reports is very easy.
  • Dashboard is extremely informative and can be tweaked.
  • Forecasting is the best with Board.
  • The user interface even though user friendly, is not modern.
I would only recommend board for Large Enterprise usage. Board to be honest is expensive. In a large corporation with hundreds of departments, Board works like a charm. Board can also be used as a central business intelligence application as well. Massive amounts of data can be processed in a short period of time.

There is a number of problems that Board addresses. Sales forecasting was one of the key areas we solved a lot of problems. Sales forecasting is a very complicated process that requires precision and accuracy. Board is significant in catering to providing business intelligence in this regard. This is also successful in enhancing the operational efficiency and implementation of quick and better decision-making.
  • We have been able to obtain a greater representation and a global standard of the reporting and a successive decrease of the realization times. We are now able to graphically represent even complex data, making them easily representable to the senior board with more clarity and analytical feedback.
  • We have been able to deliver real-time data to the staff which resulted in better communication and an amazing productivity increase. We have also been able to improve the organization of our data system with this system, which allows us to save a lot of time while generating reports.
  • The use of Drill is really excellent. This caters to our need for the conversion of all the reports that we had developed over a period to Board.
  • The documentation for modes in Data readers is inadequate and requires more work. There are several other areas where the documentation more work and more use case-related examples and their descriptions.
  • There are instances in which the changes in a single formula results in a massive mess. The formula feature could be improved to a greater level.
  • The error and the logging information could be improved and made more human friendly.
This product provides additional balancing support for our team, it has made our lives easier with demos and strategy discussions. This promotes decision-making and reporting processes, especially in the financial field. This results in a business vision broad performance of all staff and connects various departments in the same environment for the benefit of revenue.

For our organization, Board has been implemented for overall business analytics which helps us to analyze metrics and optimize budget in various segments of the organization. The provision of predictive analysis has allowed us to make informed decisions and helped us minimize unforeseen challenges. The dashboard has extensive features that provide real-time updates.
  • It offers extensive tools for documents and reporting.
  • Easy to navigate different functionalities.
  • Data can be readily synced on the cloud.
  • For first time users, it be complicated to use in the initial period.
  • Is little expensive for small enterprises.
  • The learning curve is steep, training tools can be improved.
Users who aren't very familiar with programming can easily get their hands on it since it doesn't require prior advanced coding knowledge. It has flexible configuration and you add desired functionalities off the dashboard. It is best suited for marketing and business analytics and provides all the necessary tools for examining as well implementing strategies. For budget constrained organizations it might not be well suited to cater to their needs given the cost of the software.

Board is being used accross all our departments and helps us in our product development to stay on top using the latest technological trends.
  • Simple summary with customizable visualizations.
  • Well designed reports.
  • Detailed information.
  • Reliable forecast.
  • UI not modern.
  • Some operations will take forever but this is due to the large size of database.
Due to the very high cost of operating Board, this solution cannot be implemented in small to medium organizations unless the company is willing to spend a lot, but any amount spent with Board will not be a waste.

Board is used in our organization for primarily the Annual Planning Process. The traditional solution cannot be used anymore since technology and markets are evolving rapidly. A complete digital cloud based Analytics solution is what Board brings to the table. Easy accessibility even via Mobile devices and the highest security can be set up on Board.
  • Self service reporting.
  • Analytics dashboard view via mobile device.
  • Powerful BI capabilities on the cloud.
Board is very helpful during the Budget planning and forecasting phase of a project. We can completely do away with complex and inefficient Excel sheets. Multiple users can work on a project module at the same time on Board. Board is however not appropriate at a small scale organization. Board is great for sending out Automated alerts to project participants. This saves a lot of time and effort.

We use Board as a collaboration tool in our organization where it connects all the data it gets from all the departments and provides management with a forecast backuped by detailed reports.
  • Helps align performance with the corporate objectives.
  • Provides reports to help provide better decision making.
  • Single platform combining business intelligence with corporate performance.
  • Support is hard to catch and might take up to 24 hours to respond.
Board is not a good solution for small companies, as the data will not be enough to provide a reliable outcome.
