What do you like best about Board?

I like our relationships with the sales team the best. Its front end reporting features and functions. Personally I also like the flexibility of Board to be a BI, FP&A, Consolidation, and Reporting tool and that Board is 100% GUI interface - no programming. I can always find someone to help with my questions. I also like the ease of installing and updating Board Software. It is pain-free compared to a lot of software I've experienced. Finally, how wonderful Board demos to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

What I like the least is the limited Board Data Reader for flat files. It does not specify what fails to load in detail from the Board Data Reader log. It does not allow for both fields and columns reading at the same time. We should never have to massage/manipulate any files GL extracts to load into Board. It does not allow for exception maps (i.e. all data is mapped one-to-one except for the following). On-line documentation and Knowledge Base are limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly Recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
