I have some layouts where a drill down does not make sense for every row. This is the case for entities that are "pseudo hierarchies" where the drill down works on the lowest level, but not on pre-aggregated levels. It'd be practical if I could have a locked by for the drill down similar to the locked by of the data entry.

I'm writing you to suggest some enhancements to the RULES set up page, as dealing more and more often with big corporate projects, the maintenance and implementation could be a bit slow and difficult and in some cases small changes could jeopardize the behavior of the whole process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

It has been of great help during the digital transformation of the industry we live nowadays, is really quick to execute algorythms and it also generates a clean report with most relevant information. Reports are neat, and can be saved for previous versions. What I really like about BOARD is the easy integration with databases from various platforms using its Data Readers (Ms SQL, Oracle, Excel, MySQL and so on)

It is also very easy to set up data input. This could solve many cases where otherwise Excel reports are sent accross the organisation just to fill in data with the difficulty that the format needs to be maintained.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The user interface is not the best out there, and if you don't get familiarized with it, it can become tedious and boring. But beside that this has been the best BI software that I have ever used, it is fast and reliable.

Also another point I didn't liked is the limit in terms of cubes, and maybe BOARD can solve some problems in terms of execution speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really recommend BOARD for any type of bussiness, either if it is a recently created company or a long term company, this software is for anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

Our team moved on from excel reporting to utilizing Board as a means of reporting the . One particular aspect of Board which my team and I really liked is the ease of implementation with multiple data sources and its ability to generate our required reports with much ease. Through the webinars and documentations we were able to make full use of its capabilities and tailor the product to suit our needs.

The interface was pleasant to look at and easy to understand for beginners. A big plus point.

We make use of the BI platforms and conduct predictive analysis on our database, and found that their analytics was very beneficial and allowed us to implement corrective measures to improve our results in our department

When there are technical questions that requires guidance, we could also refer to their community page at times to find answers to queries similar to ours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The initial configuration to integrate Board with much of our data sources was tedious at first and reading of the documentations did not help much as they do not provide good enough guidance on our specific issues at hand. Some improvements in that area would be recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Board:

There are many tools that provides similar services as BOARD, but for what BOARD offers here as a all in one package. I believe it does its job pretty well. Make use of the free demo and get in contact with the team to understand if it fits your needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use the Board to improve our processes within the department through the data analytics feature. It was able to take in multiple data sources and churn out the reports in a pleasant report for our management to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
