Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online.""It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes.""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.""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.""It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance.""The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."

"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME.""The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good.""It is easy to use. It is very intuitive. Even though there is a lot of functionality that comes out of the box, you can customize the solutions to meet your needs. You have the ability to have business rules that produce all kinds of calculations. We're international, and we do all our FX conversions through that.""This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs.""Oracle has an integrated solution for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Hyperion. It keeps the two platforms opened up to each other.""Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it.""The latest cloud version is more efficient for financial implementations.""The tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."

Cons
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes.""Sometimes, the data disappears from the product.""​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD.""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""I would like to see better relationships with the partners.""I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD.""It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive."

More Board Cons →

"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures.""Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it. However, we can have up to approximately 300 users using it.""I found the initial setup to be complex.""The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly.""The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult.""Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain.""What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion.""I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."
