What do you dislike about Board?

Database layout is challenging, and more material is required to show how to construct a database workflow. This is a critical step in comprehending how well the database is arranged to create accurate reports. Inconsistencies at this stage can have relatively long-term effects. Therefore I feel it is a vital stage and that additional information is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

We were able to make better judgments regarding negotiations and issues that arose within our organization, thus covering all aspects, including management control and finance. In addition, the system provides simple solutions without the need for external assistance - it is a comprehensive system, and we are satisfied with the services offered. Board software is also notable for its predictive analysis, benchmarking, trend indicators, and profitability analysis capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Although we have not encountered any significant issues with this software, the documentation, for example, may be improved. Sometimes, assistance requires more time to resolve the problems we raise, but our experiences have been positive for the most part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

BOARD creates a user-friendly experience, featuring drill-down and drill-through functionality, as well as several different types of data visualization options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Nothing to dislike, but it can do better and enhance its look and crisp feel of it—the ability to know which procedures are used in which cubes could help. Also if we are able to reduce the number of screens it would make the capsule open faster. we havent moved to web version yet since there is no easy transfer from windows client to web .. the capsules need to be redone which consumes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Board:

Board is all in one software which is a good start for the sales or budget. My personal opinion is that I like the admin portal of giving the individual rights to capsule or screen which can show or hide performances salary and any other vital info which you want to be discreet about. That's the most comforting element of Board, which I haven't seen in any other software so far. It really helps to manage when you have more than 100 employees using it. Excel add in is gd feature for users who dont use the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a finance module created by BOARD consultant almost 8 -10 yrs back, which we hoping to get their help and streamline it and make it look good. hoping for more licneses.Limited performance of the Excel addin causes some crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Board?

It's an all-in-one tool, has a web-based data entry engine that is very useful for budgeting, especially with large numbers of actors involved.

You don't need any IT programmers to develop a board reporting system, and this is a very good point: Consultants are business people and not only programmers, and that makes a huge difference with other tools like, for example, Qlik. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Board?

Perhaps the way to manage users and permissions is a little bit too complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First of all, the budget process: an integrated tool that can perform each step of the entire process, from gathering information from a hundred salesperson to exploding raw material quantities up to the P&L and cash flow budget. That is a huge advantage, no more excel files and a very quick response in case of any last-minute change from the CEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
