"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"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."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"The tool is stable."
"Financial consolidation and reporting tool with good built-in features such as currency exchange and elimination."
"It is a very user-friendly software."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility and ease of configuration in terms of testing and formula creation."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."
"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 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."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."
"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."
"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."
"Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved."
"It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM."
