Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"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."
"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"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."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"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'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools."
