Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"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."
"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."
