"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"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."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."

"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"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."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"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."
