We performed a comparison between Board and Oracle Analytics Cloud 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."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."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"The product is easily customized."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"My analysts have used the technical support. 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. "
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"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."
"The solution could be more flexible."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"It is expensive."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
