Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well.""The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it.""It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve.""I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code.""BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful.""The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling.""The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it.""The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."

Cons
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used.""​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​""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.""I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD.""It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive.""It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive.""It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website.""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."

More Board Cons →

"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."

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."
