Prepares reports automatically, helps review financial statements, and enables decision-making
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to review financial statements, sales forecasts, and budgets. I use the test management and reporting tools. Board takes data from Business Central. We can analyze it. We can also drill down by products. For example, if we prepare a sales forecast, we can drill down and analyze when to expect growth and fall.
What is most valuable?
Board is quite a good solution. All the reports are prepared automatically. The data is uploaded from Business Central automatically. Sales analysis is a valuable feature. We can do a detailed analysis of the crops and their varieties. We can also do a sales forecast. The solution also has budget-related features. We can analyze the actual expenditure versus our budget.
The financial statements have had the most significant impact on our decision-making process. We can analyze it and write comments. It's good that Board has the functions that enable us to drill down. If we have a total amount, we can drill down to the transactions and how they influenced our results.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes, the data disappears from the product. We have had a few such cases. When I added my comments to the data, it disappeared. A technical specialist tried to restore it. It was not convenient. The solution must provide more flexibility. It must enable analysis in different dimensions. We can analyze by varieties now. Previously, we could analyze by customers, but now, it is not possible. I think it depends on our customization.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’ stability a six out of ten. Sometimes, the product is incorrect. We had some consistent technical issues. We fine-tuned and fixed them.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability a seven out of ten. The scalability is quite good. We can consolidate the data in the tool for a few legal entities. Three people are using the product in our organization. We use the tool once a week.
How are customer service and support?
Sometimes, support takes a lot of time. The issues are not fixed in a day. It can take three or four days, so we have to wait. The technical support must be improved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The solution is cloud-based.
What other advice do I have?
We use Board for just the integration with Business Central. We do not use the drag-and-drop interface. We do not use it for predictive analytics. We are not growing now. We have stable full-time employees. Our turnover is stable. People evaluating the product must know what they must have for their analytic needs. A specialist can create the report.
The most important thing is to know what we want, which forms, which reports, and what they should look like. We must have a good accounting system. Everything should be done properly to get the correct report. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

A stable solution with good user-experience, easy deployment but needs some improvement with engine
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used for financial purposes and HR.
What is most valuable?
The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution.
What needs improvement?
The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance.
The consolidated finance area also needs improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I rate it eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is not very scalable and needs improvement. We had some performance issues with the big organisation with a lot of data. So Board could not support and could not address the amount of data of the big organizations. The ETL platform needs improvement and transformation.
How are customer service and support?
In comparison to the support team of other solutions, the support team of the Board is good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used IBM Planning Analytics previously. IBM engine is more powerful, but the user experience is better in Board. And the stability or the flexibility is good in both.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite simple. I rate it eight out of ten. The deployment of a solution depends on the context, if it's a complex application deployment then it takes longer. If you are talking about full deployment of an application maybe it takes longer from three weeks to six months. But the deployment of the Board is easier than IBM. It's the classic steps of any IT project that is used for the deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
It's a very interesting solution, and you have to have some knowledge on the Board before using it because it's not an easy tool to learn. For users that do not have experience with the BI or Power BI or some similar tools can find Board a bit complicated.
It's a good tool. It's a powerful tool, easy to use and deploy, but it needs some improvement.
I rate it seven out of ten.

Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution mainly for budgeting purposes. Budgeting and planning are its main use cases. The product itself is designed for budgeting and planning processes.
What is most valuable?
I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products.
Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.
What needs improvement?
Some of my company's customers are interested to see the predictive analytics part of the tool. Some customers would like to leverage or prioritize predictive analytics as the main feature, but some of them don't care about it since they just want to have something like a historical report.
In terms of scalability, I would say that there are some limitations in the solution. It cannot handle data that is too big. It has an impact on the response time and performance of the system.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Board for six to seven years. I am a server provider in the entire market and offer implementation and support services to customers. My company operates as a reseller of the tool.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is very stable. The tool is 80 to 85 percent stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would say that the Board is focused on the design and interface. Most of the features already appear in the icon on the interface screen, which makes it quite limited in terms of security. If your data size is quite big, it might get a bit slow, which is a problem.
My company works with medium-sized clients.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The product is quite easy to install, but you can install it on Windows only.
One person can manage the product's installation phase.
The solution can be deployed in around two hours.
What was our ROI?
The product helps save time. The tool helps save 50 percent of our company's time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I know about Microsoft Power BI and Tableau but have never used both of them for their full functions.
What other advice do I have?
When it comes to Board's analytics part, I need to think about other products in order to make a comparison. Speaking about the analytics part, I would say that Sisense is a lot better than Board.Board is fine, but it still needs to have some AI features in it. Right now, Board doesn't have any AI features, so it just can't deal with simple predictions.
The tool can integrate with other products, or maybe you can customize some API to connect to the source. I would say that, in general, the connections could be fine. From five, three of the connections should be fine.
The product itself looks good and easy to use. The end user can also customize many things in the product.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
