We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online.""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.""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.""BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful.""The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view.""It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well.""With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."

"Initial setup was straightforward.""The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities.""The solution effectively integrates with third-party products.""Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."

Cons
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules.""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.""It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use.""One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals.""We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place.""​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD.""It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive."

More Board Cons →

"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience.""The dashboard could be improved and include additional features.""Quality of support varies.""When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
