"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."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
