Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve.""The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution.""All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online.""By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function.""All the reports are prepared automatically.""The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view.""I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value.""The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."

"The product's most valuable feature is extensibility.""We were with Oracle previously. With Oracle, you have to buy a different piece of software for every business process. If you want to do budgeting, that's a product. If you want to do consolidation, that's a product. If you want to do BI type of work, that's yet another product. So, you end up buying a lot of software from Oracle. With OneStream, it is a little different. It is a platform where you can do all those things, and you can do them with just one software purchase and then you just pay for users on it.""It offers great ease of use. This impacts not only the end-user experience but also the administrator's, which affects the total cost of ownership."

Cons
"​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.​""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.""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.""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.""We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."

More Board Cons →

"Currently, they only support one browser, and it would be good if you could use it on Chrome, Firefox, etc. It is a little frustrating that you can only use a certain Microsoft browser. They're pretty tightly aligned with Microsoft. So, I can see the reasons for it.""We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it.""AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
  • "It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
  • "The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
  • More Board Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
  • "The licensing is expensive."
  • "The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
