We performed a comparison between Board and Jedox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"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."
"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 ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very versatile."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."
"I think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"The tool has changed its pricing and it's now too expensive for small and medium organizations. I miss the open-source version which was free and we could do a lot of things with it."
