Overall Satisfaction with Board

We used Board as a way to integrate big data sources (coming from CSV files) in a single place in order to collect better analytics and forecasting that could drive our business decisions.
  • Visualise large amount of data
  • Automations
  • UI
  • Dashboard not always intuitive
  • Hard to integrate
  • Pricing

Do you think Board delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Board's feature set?

Yes

Did Board live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Board go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Board again?

Yes

  • Easier access to big data
  • Easier forecasting
Board is really suited for companies that includes a data-science team with a large amount of data they can work with. In this case Board can really help maintaining, visualising and use large datasets. In the contrary if the team is small and the knowledge of data-science and big-data is limited than Board might be a little bit to overwhelming and pricy
