Ability to aggregate / desegregate data very quickly No limitation in the size of the database (due to the efficient technology enabling to save memory requirements) Very good user interface possibilities
Read Full ReviewFor me the features I like the most about Board are: - The ease of use of the tool, both from front-end and back-end point of view. There is no code involved which makes it easy to work with for business and finance users - The fact that a solution can be tailormade to an organization is something I see as a big strength. I believe this makes the absorption of a tool much higher - The reporting capabilities are very strong for an EPM tool

1) Main issue we experienced was the lack of competent & stable developer at the start of our project development which resulted in a delay in the product implementation (we were although impacted at that time by the Covid-19 pandemic which has made physical meetings between users and integration team impossible) . 2) The way some data processing flows are occurring is not always transparent for a functional developer. I have sometime the impression to find the correct data processing solution by chance (thru try&fail method without clear understanding what I am doing) 3) The possibility to add comments on the progammation objects (procedures, data cubes, data readers) are limited - thus even it is a no code tool, it is still necessary to maintain much documentation to keep a clear understanding of the processes
Read Full ReviewLack of robustness, poor integration between modules, significant performance issues, very high Admin burden.
Read Full ReviewI feel like Board can improve on the following points: - As solutions are built from scratch, users need to keep a constant eye on performance - The Office Add-in is a bit outdated but I understand they are working on releasing a new version - It would be nice to have access to pre-built solutions as an option next to starting from zero as some practical solutions might very quickly fit to other clients with some minimal changes. This could save implementation time.

Investing to develop internally skills will bring you very quick pay back
It's a very good product really in line with our needs - fully collaborative platform, flexible and "easy to sell" to the end-users. Pro-active customer success team and customer focused service team even though it wasn't easy to get a good & available consultant at the beginning - HEAD OF BI, FINANCIAL PLANNING & REPORTI1B-10B USDConsumer GoodsReview Source
Powerful best in class planning tool
Board is a powerful tool, although it requires a lot of knowledge. Thanks to its flexibility, Board can be used for almost all use cases, from workflow control and S&OP planning to extensive FP&A applications. - Consultant<50M USDBankingReview Source
Customizable Financial Planning Tool with Strong Reporting, Easy to Use Interface
Financial Planning with Board has been a positive experience for me so far. Starting with a blank canvas gives clients the opportunity to build solutions that are 100% fitting for their organization. This characteristic, in combination with an easy-to-use interface, provides a tool that an organization can easily absorb. The fact that you are starting with a blank canvas is also a risk as it is key to set the basis right at the beginning. - Controller & BI-Analyst1B-10B USDMediaReview Source
Seamless workflow integration hindered by occasional performance and formatting challenges
Great tool, that allows for a smooth and flexible planing process and is well suited for ad-hoc analysis. It takes some time and effort to learn how the system works but it is very much worth it. The back-end and development is quite intuitive but takes some practice. - Head of Merchandising50M-1B USDRetailReview Source
Customizable Software Experience Offset By Extended Ticket Resolution Times
Implementation and upgrades of the product have gone very smoothly. My only negative is that having used a Board partner for development work, the Board support team doesn’t have a full understanding of our product.
