Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""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.""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.""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.""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.""It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes.""Now, we have only one version of the truth."

"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations.""I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful.""The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions.""Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful.""It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud.""Visually displaying data."

Cons
"​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​""I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD.""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.""One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals.""We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability.""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 nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes.""We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."

More Board Cons →

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes.
