What do you like best about Board?

The simple drag and drop ability to build complex dashboards, charts and reports makes it easy for any staff member to analyse data. The do it yourself style eliminates the dependence on IT teams and data analysts to build reports. This is especially useful for top executives when they want to analyse data and make quick strategic business decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not truly cloud yet. Works great on the local server client environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have many more hours of the week on hand now to use it more productively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
