Support from Board is amazing when any issues arise.

With the version 9, graphics was more flexible and the GeoMap was added to help with location.

With version 10, predictive tool has been added and also functions inline per column calculation.

You can also use Board in Excel/Powerpoint as an add-on.

What do you like best about Board?

A user-friendly drag and drop solution Ease of use Ease of use and user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

A solid data architecture requires a good preliminary analysis of the data model and implementation time. Lack of available consultants, after care I am not able to describe what I do not like because so far with the Board I was able to cover all aspects of my activity. In addition to the current "per license" fee base, it could be more economical to package as bundles for 4 users, 6 users, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Board:

The advice is great when it comes to having the knowledge and knowing how to build a client-based reporting system. BOARD is developing and putting many resources into its web-based platform with new and future versions that will likely surpass the on-premise desktop version. As in any implementation project, priorities can emerge at any time and scope creep can be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Large amount of data in ereports Decrease in time used for report production, creation of management tools and dashboards, risk analysis. We wanted to provide a portal for our KPI scoreboard, controlled by Finance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
