What do you like best about Board?

the ease of being able to pull financial information that has been loaded in to Board, minimizing the use of SQL. Also the ease of being able to show key personnel around the business the various reports we have again substituting excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Board Add-On, this could be developed slightly, for instance you can't be logged in Board Add-On and Board at the same time, for instance if you wanted to cross check the numbers you have pulled. Also sometimes the Board Add-On breaks and you lose your layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

The performance is very good even with relatively large data volumes. The web frontend can be made available "on-the-fly" for all users. The database as a whole is extremely flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

At one point or another, BOARD is a bit cumbersome to handle. Especially the report design (PDF documents) is always a problem. One or the other graphics function should be absolutely contemporary in design. In some areas a very small-scale procedure is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Single point of truth for a variety of analyses.

Complete corporate planning.

Reporting for internal and external recipients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

Assist in consolidating data and produce reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

The followings are more for feedback purpose:

When there is a lot of data/calculations involved, the system tends to slow down, processing speed is affected and also it is very dependent on the internet speed.

It is an off the shelf system and thus requires a lot of customisations in house. May be it should introduce some preset common templates for use by industry in market.

There should be some improvement on the formatting once the data is export in excel format. Currently, in the exported excel file, all are set to be "text" format and it requires a fair bit of housekeeping in cell formatting etc before it can be used as a normal file like other excel files.

In addition to the current "per license" fee base, may be should introduce more economical package like packages for 4 users, 6 users etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Board:

BOARD is useful and effective if:

- the user has a good IT support team in house

- there is a lot of data to be consolidated and analysed in different report formats

- there is a way to speed up the system processing time when there is a lot of data

- there are predefined templates for those commonly used reports/set-ups based on those common industries in market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It assists in consolidating data from different business units/departments to produce the required reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

It was easy and fast to create a lot of dashboard and reports with a very large amount of data so that final users can do analysis of the business in few time. All new requests can be performed without trouble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

I appreciate very much this software and I didn't find any big issue till now. There's only one thing I have noticed: in a dashboard containing a summary table it's not possible to place the sum of the columns in the first row but only at the end and this is not helpful in case of a large number of rows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can produce data for analysis in a easiest way and faster. I made the user independent in its own job for control and planning and gave to the management the visibility of the trend of business with simple dashboards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
