"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."
"It's very stable."
"Automated reporting."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"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 staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."
"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."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"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."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"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."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"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."
"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."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
