Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic.""It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes.""A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility.""With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support.""We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance.""It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve.""The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts.""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."

"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab.""It has increased the speed of reporting."

Cons
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used.""​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. ​""The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful.""I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical.""It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use.""The setup was a bit complex.""I would like to see better relationships with the partners.""Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."

"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​""​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​""If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."

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 →

  • "​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
  • "​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
