Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system.""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.""Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance.""BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful.""The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background.""The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling.""I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value.""It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."

"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world.""The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools.""It's scalable.""The solution scales extremely well.""The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features""Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good.""he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."

Cons
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""I would like to see better relationships with the partners.""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used.""We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​""The setup was a bit complex.""Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel.""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."

More Board Cons →

"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope.""They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now.""If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records.""Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data.""The product must be more transparent.""Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization.""If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time.""The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
  • "​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
  • "It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
  • "The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
  • More Board Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
  • "The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."
  • "Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
  • "Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."
