What do you like best about Board?

As a Board developer it gives us the tools to basically achieve most things that we can to build. Integration of sources is pretty easy to achieve as it can interface pretty well with other sources either directly or indirectly and it can store data itself which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Anything to do with logs, clarity regarding how processes have run, the countless bugs especially everything to do with troubleshooting and getting insight in how to fix issues.

Sometimes datareaders just not working for no apparent reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Board solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Board as a BI tool and currently use less of the real procedure and forecasting functions but we think it's a great tool for any organization. Also the level of control is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

Board is a very flexible tool when it comes to data management. Because of this, it can be adapted to many areas within the company.

Implementation is easy and it can be very well customizable and designed on the needs of the customer.

Data can be retrieved from multiple sources and easily integrated. Output can be in multiple format.

It can manage big organizations very fast because of its scalability easy to adapt to new changes.

Frequency of use by multiple users at the same time is not a problem and the segregation of duties is easily done.

Customer support has always been fast and resolutive. There is a big attention to software improvements and requests can be raised directly by the clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Sometimes reports are not easy to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Board solving and how is that benefiting you?

Board speeds up the process of financial closing and budgeting and forecasting. This saves time for every other activity within the company.

Also, data collection is fast and there is no need of any integration when users do data entry. This reduces the time needed and minimizes the room for errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sandra Bartl of Board

What do you like best about Board?

The customization Board offers is unparalleled, I have never seen a similar level in other tools.

In the same reports used by my colleagues, I am able to mix and match different categories and segments and hide different columns with ease without the fear of deleting something.

I know that I can always go back with little difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

While Board offers the beforementioned complete customization, the UX and the speed are two major hurdles.

It has a steep learning level, which cuts out immediately most executives who use Board at most once or twice per month, so every month they have to re-learn how their reports are structured.

Another big issue is speed, trying to use more than 4-5 categories at once crashes the system and the only way to back out is to refresh the page, and I have to set again the filters, losing me a lot of time.

There is still some work on the UX to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Board solving and how is that benefiting you?

Board allows a complete overview of both Financial Forecasting and Pipeline analysis to major Account managers.

The financial forecasting allows our company to have structured and readily available budgets, all standardized and timely delivered and the possibility to check if business is being conducted with specific clients and its value.

The pipeline analysis (What I follow the most) allows us in the central office to always know what is going on, even without asking the Account managers, its also useful to see if we are on track with the business objectives of the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sandra Bartl of Board

We are glad to hear that you find Board useful for managing your data in a structured and personalized way. We appreciate your insights and will continue to work on enhancing the platform to better meet your needs.

What do you like best about Board?

What I like about Board is the fact that it starts with a blank sheet for each and every company. With Board each company can create a solution which completely fits the organization's culture and way of working. Board is a no-code solution which makes is easy to interpret and understand. Screens and procedures can be created by drag and drop functionalities and it does not get more complex than IF statements, multiplications and divisions. Lastly, Board is a platform which allows customers to expand easily to any process within their business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The idea of having a blank sheet from the start can also be a risk for implementations. Customers really need to dedicate their time to the project at the beginning together with the implementation partner to make sure that the basis of the model is robust and well considered. In case this dedication is not present it is very easy to run into problems at a later stage of the model because of design decisions that were made in the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Board solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me as a consultant I see that Board has been working very hard past year to work on the community and partner network to increase collaboration and knowledge sharing. This helps a lot during my daily work. At clients I see that Board enables them to make better decisions on new insights and work faster due to automation and efficiency.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The only aspect we had to manage was the "presentation" topic.

We use Board to create excel for tables and schemes for final ppt presentation, but only for a better shape and form. Board does not have many aspect solution as excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my company Board is used for BI and for strategic budgeting and forecasting. We have been using Board for several years because it has allowed us to develop targeted views for collaborative data entry, different calculation procedures for different cases, final report visualization, data segregation and visualization filters, access security for different users in terms of data displayed and screen visibility.

As a user board is easy to use because it is very intuitive. As a programmer, the drag-and-drop format makes the program easily customizable and implementable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
