We performed a comparison between Board and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"You can switch views easily."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"This is a very cool application with endless options of creativity and visuals."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"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."
"The pricing is high."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"I would like to see more advanced features from Qlik Sense integrated into QlikView to keep it competitive and up-to-date."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"It needs work with visualization."
"The user interface is old."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
