What do you like best about Board?

As an entire BI arrangement, BOARD enables a designer to effortlessly make the structures required to assemble to a great degree ground-breaking and quick information models by utilizing 'sparsity' - the technique for figuring the real space required for 3D square protests. An incredible quality in demonstrating is the capacity to rename and change connections on the fly. With a consistent and extremely visual interface, BOARD is a wonderful domain to work in,which upgrades efficiency. BOARD can give end clients the capacity compose back to 3D shapes and make and change elements. This capacity makes the production of work processes and security forms conceivable; a chief can include clients and decide their level of access without coming back to the engineers. constant powerful geo-outlines take into consideration relevant maps to be made. BOARD have now opened the BOARD Community where clients can make inquiries in gatherings and help different clients. Case information models can be transferred and additionally related documentation and recordings. The people group site is outstanding amongst other gatherings I have ever utilized and the network individuals are plainly enthusiastic about the product, and in addition exceptionally proficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The software can be somewhat overpowering now and again. There are many extravagant highlights and capacities. Choosing when and where to utilize them can be somewhat dubious. People require an innovative style to assemble screens. For somebody who needs a controlled announcing condition, this probably won't be the best fit. These apparatuses are exceptionally configurable and adaptable. For cutting edge information laborers and experts, it's an extraordinary fit. For people who simply need to see a report, it may be a lot. The web interface is by all accounts showing signs of improvement now, so I anticipate that this will improve. For somebody who simply needs to login and see one report, I'd like the framework to be super-simple to utilize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Board:

My greatest proposal for any organization investigating BI arrangements is to initially make sense of what it is you are endeavoring to achieve. Set a few objectives and destinations, and record your agony focuses. From their you can construct a rundown of capacities that will address the necessities of the organization. When this is finished, work with various sellers to assess every one of the instruments against the necessities of the association. Making a scoring framework with weighted midpoints is constantly suggested as a few capacities could easily compare to others. Toward the end, when you are through, look at the scoring you ought to have a determination that will bolster a bearing for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have utilized a few endeavor BI frameworks and BOARD is by a wide margin the most energizing, fun and legitimate framework I have ever utilized.

What I like most is how quickly you can create models of information and that with the same product can use busines intellegence and performance management. With the same tool I can control actuals and budget. The fact that BOARD is truly one product. We have many customers that need planning and forecasting capabilities but also true business intelligence, dashboards and visualisation. BOARD enables us to deliver these solutions within one product with the customer only having to purchase one license and have one skillset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

At the moment I cannot think of anything that is having a major impact in a negative way to our BOARD deployments across our varied customer base. I look forward to the web client when HTML 5 is released.Maybe reporting schedules should be more dynamic and easy to use, making simpler copy and paste from excel spreadsheets .

What do you like best about Board?

Lo que más me gusta de Board es que no necesita programación, por lo que puedo trabajar de manera autónoma sin tener que depender de un soporte detrás. La entrada de datos es muy sencilla y se pueden importar desde muchas plataformas diferentes. La automatización de las funciones para generar los informes permite ahorrar tiempo y dinero, con unos resultados brillantes y analizando todos los datos en profundidad. Es muy rápido y permite seguir el desarollo del proceso en todo momento. El soporte del programa es de los mejores que he visto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Tiene una curva de aprendizaje muy lenta, ya que es distinto a lo que estaba acostumbrada. Al principio, los menús son bastante complejos y cuesta hacerse a ellos; sin embargo, una vez que se tiene clara la estructura de funcionamiento, el manejo es rápido y fluido. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Board:

Es un buen producto, con un gran soporte técnico detrás dispuesto a resolver todas las dudas que puedan surgir, pero hay que tener en cuenta que tiene una curva de aprendizaje muy lenta y que, tras adquirir el producto, trascurrirá un tiempo hasta que los usuarios estén completamente familiarizados con el mismo y puedan sacarle todo el jugo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A diferencia de otras plataformas, Board integra varios productos en uno, por lo que nos permitió gestionar todas las tareas que buscábamos con una única aplicación. Esto facilitó la gestión de los datos, permitiéndonos tener una visión completamente real de la información analizada, sin pérdidas intermedias. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
