Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"The language support is very good."
"We use QlikView for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration with databases."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"One of the good thing is that you can integrate different data source technologies. So you can model your environment without having any of our views running."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"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."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"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."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"Better source data connectors."
"The tool is expensive in Turkey."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"There's room for improvement in the area of management's handling of concerns."
"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"Syntax editor needs some work, it's frustrating to have valid syntax being flagged as incorrect."
