We performed a comparison between Board and Dundas BI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"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."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"With Dundas BI, you have a lot of visualization choices, and you can also do customizations by using HTML coding and JavaScript. The ease of development was one of the main factors for going for Dundas BI. The client had different reporting tools, but they wanted something that could accommodate all requirements."
"The solution has a good drag-and-drop feature for creating dashboards."
"It was quite easy to use. The UI was basically drag-and-drop based. So, even if you were a beginner at coding software or something else, it would be easy to catch up on Dundas BI."
"We have now the ability to create interactive and complex reports without the need for software developers and code."
"We use Dundas to report on machine sensor data and create dashboards."
"The Layers feature organizes my work and makes it easier, instead of having to use scripting to show and hide when drilling down."
"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."
"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."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"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."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart."
"It would be helpful if Dundas made the UI more user-friendly like the leading tools and decreased the learning curve. It should be simpler for a beginner to build dashboards."
"For every object, references are generated, but sometimes, there was a problem with the references overlapping each other. Everything would go off. It would stop working, and then from the admin side, people had to do something to bring it up again."
"Lacks sufficient online support."
"I cannot select a visualization and see what filters are connected to it."
"I would love to see more functions built in inside the application, instead of being scripted. They already did some of that in the new release, version 5, like forecasting, trend lines, etc., and I would love to see more of these kinds of calculations, which we used to do it by scripts before."
