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."The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"It's very stable."
"The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily."
"It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday."
"Automated reporting."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes."
"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."
"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"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."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"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."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"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."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
