What do you like best about Board?

Board is exceptionally flexible, with the Excel plugin and the ability to adjust reporting and calculations on the fly make it a very easy package to use and learn to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

It does take quite a lot of expertise to set the service up, we used an external partner to assist and found that we were often needing to go back to this 3rd party in order to get additional data included etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our accounting system has limited reporting functionality. The implementation of Board has allowed users, both in the finace team and in the operational elements of the business to be able to easily get access to the financial data needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sandra Bartl of Board

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Board. We're pleased that the flexibility and ease of use, along with the Excel plugin, have been beneficial for your financial data needs. We understand the challenges in setting up a platform like this and are committed to enhancing our support and resources to assist our customers especially during onboarding more effectively.

What do you like best about Board?

Thanks to the low/no code approach it is very easy (even for people from the business) to implement and to create data models and screens.

Given the fact you start with a whiteboard, the variety of applications that can be developed is extensive.

Number of supporting partners is growing which gives in combination with the Board support a good level of customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Licensing is sometimes a bit strange, lowest level of license is very limited in terms of capabilities.

Calculations are easy to implement but it lacks sometimes visibility on the intermediary steps/results which can be useful when developing new things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Multidimensional insights give us better possibilities on analysing results and making more accurate & specific plannings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sandra Bartl of Board

Hi Marc, thank you so much for your great review of Board. Much appreciated - I think it provides some nice and helpful insights.

Merry Christmas :-)

What do you like best about Board?

- Easy to enter and update forecast/budget information.

- Our general ledger system interfaces with BOARD and is updated daily. So it's also easy to see actuals posted at a point in time.

- A number of individuals in our company use BOARD multiple times per day with few if any issues. [The software has never crashed on us]. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

1. Customer support - whenever we have an issue it is usually addressed quickly. However, we've had a recurring issue a few months now that was reported and investigated, however it remains unresolved. Also, we've asked for a specific task to be completed and the response we received is challenging us on the reason(s) we want the task completed at that specific time. To clarify - the 'task' is done during the same time each year and customer support assists us with that each year.

2. It is not easy to generate reports in BOARD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. Making the budget/forecast process as smooth and efficient as possible.

2. Ability to easily generate reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sandra Bartl of Board

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Board here on G2, very much appreciated. I warmly invite you to visit the Board community to get access to some really helpful "how to" and "best practice" articles. I believe you will also like the new user experience that will come with Board 14 in Q1 2024 - you can learn more about it in the community.
