Board Pros and Cons

Board is a versatile platform that can be easily integrated with external sources. All employees can use it without specific training to perform analysis and make data-driven decisions and improve the interconnection between various business functions.

In our company, the tool is used daily by several offices and is the official source of data disclosure.

The relationship with support and partners is excellent and has more than 20 years of collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specifically, the new releases are always improving the product and offer better performance. Leaving aside a few programming bugs the solution has no major shortcomings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've finally had the opportunity to SEE all our request in one platform. Data analysis came true and graphical representations support daily decision Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not so "easy" the individual approach for making report, dashboard and procedure...

Maybe new release will be more compliant to internal developer.

No info/tips about report creation using SAP Erp

Database tips x ERP to connect could be very useful for developer.

A CRM functionality could be a PLUS (the client can have a 100% experience without purchasing any other softw platform) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Board developer it gives us the tools to basically achieve most things that we can to build. Integration of sources is pretty easy to achieve as it can interface pretty well with other sources either directly or indirectly and it can store data itself which is nice.

Anything to do with logs, clarity regarding how processes have run, the countless bugs especially everything to do with troubleshooting and getting insight in how to fix issues.

Sometimes datareaders just not working for no apparent reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Board is a very flexible tool when it comes to data management. Because of this, it can be adapted to many areas within the company.

Implementation is easy and it can be very well customizable and designed on the needs of the customer.

Data can be retrieved from multiple sources and easily integrated. Output can be in multiple format.

It can manage big organizations very fast because of its scalability easy to adapt to new changes.

Frequency of use by multiple users at the same time is not a problem and the segregation of duties is easily done.

Customer support has always been fast and resolutive. There is a big attention to software improvements and requests can be raised directly by the clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes reports are not easy to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization Board offers is unparalleled, I have never seen a similar level in other tools.

In the same reports used by my colleagues, I am able to mix and match different categories and segments and hide different columns with ease without the fear of deleting something.

I know that I can always go back with little difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Board offers the beforementioned complete customization, the UX and the speed are two major hurdles.

It has a steep learning level, which cuts out immediately most executives who use Board at most once or twice per month, so every month they have to re-learn how their reports are structured.

Another big issue is speed, trying to use more than 4-5 categories at once crashes the system and the only way to back out is to refresh the page, and I have to set again the filters, losing me a lot of time.

There is still some work on the UX to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Board is the fact that it starts with a blank sheet for each and every company. With Board each company can create a solution which completely fits the organization's culture and way of working. Board is a no-code solution which makes is easy to interpret and understand. Screens and procedures can be created by drag and drop functionalities and it does not get more complex than IF statements, multiplications and divisions. Lastly, Board is a platform which allows customers to expand easily to any process within their business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The idea of having a blank sheet from the start can also be a risk for implementations. Customers really need to dedicate their time to the project at the beginning together with the implementation partner to make sure that the basis of the model is robust and well considered. In case this dedication is not present it is very easy to run into problems at a later stage of the model because of design decisions that were made in the beginning.

Board has permitted the company to centralize the finance reporting of different entities, from different countries, with different erps. Our monthly closing has become faster, easier to view and analize. Each entity can rely on a tool that permit to trace the figures trade and financial position over the year.

The only aspect we had to manage was the "presentation" topic.

We use Board to create excel for tables and schemes for final ppt presentation, but only for a better shape and form. Board does not have many aspect solution as excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Board is an intuitive, all-in-one environment where reporting, analytics, and planning blend into one. The tool's flexibility allows me to tailor dashboards and schedule automated data consolidation to save me hours of manual work. Its visualization capabilities are solid and allow me to interpret even the most complex data simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Board is very powerful, initial setup can be complex, and some advanced features take time to learn. It can also slow down when dealing with larger datasets, sometimes affecting efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to perform Sales, Operations and Merchandising activities, all from the same platform. Once the store (outlet and boutique) replenishment process is complete, the platform makes it very easy for end users to get their orders and schedule shipments to stores Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

slowness in the restocking schedules where the product photos are present Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my company Board is used for BI and for strategic budgeting and forecasting. We have been using Board for several years because it has allowed us to develop targeted views for collaborative data entry, different calculation procedures for different cases, final report visualization, data segregation and visualization filters, access security for different users in terms of data displayed and screen visibility.

As a user board is easy to use because it is very intuitive. As a programmer, the drag-and-drop format makes the program easily customizable and implementable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue encountered on Board is the handling of connectors to datasets, which is pretty limited Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
