Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Board throughout the company. We use the windows client, board in the browser and the mobile version, and it works well. A lot of our data is stored in the Board-database and the reports are well received by the departments and used regularly. We build extensive reports with Board, and our users can quickly access the data they need on a daily basis.

Pros and Cons

The users build their reports themselves.
Board's interface is intuitive.
Building new entities and cubes is very easy.
Our users like to work with Board.

We urgently need the display of flat lists. The multidimensional approach is often, but not always required. There is always a requirement to display normal lists without any compression on Board.

Return on Investment

Board makes our users more independent.
The licenses are unfortunately quite expensive.
We have some board users who don't use board at all, but still want it anyway. This drives up costs.

Alternatives Considered

We introduced these systems to our sales and controlling departments, and they then opted for Board because it was easier and more intuitive.

Other Software Used

SAP Access Control, Eclipse, Microsoft Office 2016

Likelihood to Recommend

Board is brilliant for all evaluations that require different dimensions. It is a huge advantage for the whole company that the users can create all of their reports themselves. Unfortunately, Board is not well suited for flat lists. The planning seems a bit cumbersome to me, but it works. A big problem with Board is that the lists cannot always be displayed completely if the entities customer, material and time are combined. In this case, Board calculates too many possible lines, although there really aren't that many lines.
