What do you like best about Board?

If it is about getting the management, absolute control and development of all the financial data (and what is not financial) of your company or department, this is your application.

Intuitive, easy to handle, with a learning curve very well adapted to modern times and above all, something that is usually the warhorse of many applications: an extremely useful and intuitive help.

With a very pleasant environment and without overload neither RAM nor Processor of PC, whatever the massive data managed by the app wants.

I think with the amount that I have tried (especially B.I. software) this is one of the lightest I have intuitive. It works perfectly and that is what it is worth at the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The truth is that it has few failures ...

To put a couple would say that at first glance it can be very simple: let me explain.

Even if your learning curve is very good, at first it seems that it will not be functional for our use, but that is incorrect, it will always be very useful.

The second maybe that when exporting the formats for printing should look better in large formats such as A3 or even A2 since it is something that in meetings is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use it, then you will tell me if it is great or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I need an app to see valences of my department and make decisions. It was really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

I like the way you can customise the software to suit your needs. The monthly reporting helps see things almost instantly, rather than digging through information. It helps with budgeting and gives further accuracy than ever before. The time saving factor alone is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Though the UI is all fine, it could be made easier to create and change some design elements like graphs etc. Though the overall out come is great, it's not always the easiest to design it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

BOARD is very user friendly. Easy to use and comprehend. You can do from Business Intelligence to Analytics, Consolidation to Reportin.

Lack of related forums online can be a bit dull sometimes. Most of the features are easily understandable but if you're stuck on something then it really needs some definite effort to get it resolved either by queries or doing extensive research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

I like that it can load and plan various information models with the adaptability to include lines and extra segments in a simple to utilize and smart way. The capacity to change the information model and adjust as you go gives an ideal answer for consistently changing business needs. The visuals are anything but difficult to peruse and the present and future web forms that are yet to be discharged are staggering. The reports of this application could be continued running on Microsoft word or surpass desires. The trading between the reports is surprising which I cherish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

I dsilike that at the point when there is a great deal of information/computations included, the framework will in general back off, preparing pace is influenced and furthermore it is exceptionally reliant on the web speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It enables us to deal with our business all the more productively on the grounds that we're settling on information driven choices.
