We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution.""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.""It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance.""The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view.""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.""It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."

Cons

Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. ​""We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD.""​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
