Overall Satisfaction with Board

Board is a Business Intelligence tool with the help of which we configure and analyze our data to get market insights which helps tremendously in determining the organization's needs. We also use Board's different features like fetching reports which are to be sent to the counterparts and stakeholders for various meetings.
  • It has the ability to handle large amounts of data. Board provides the cloud database which ensures faster deployments and greater security.
  • The customers have both the choices either On-Premises or On Cloud since Cloud is more popular nowadays I would recommend Cloud to opt for.
  • The users can get along with Board quite easily because of it's easy to use UI and Drag & Drop features.
  • The complex calculations of reports is done so easily and quickly with the help of inbuilt functions.
  • There is less learning content about Board on free platforms which can be increased just like other products have currently.
  • The updates for On-Premise and Cloud should be in sync both should receive updates from time to time.
  • It has all the features and functionalities to make it a powerful tool, need to look into the pricing side of it.
