Offers flexibility in design and saves time in budgeting and forecasting processes
I find Board to be simple and easy to use. It offers significant flexibility in designing solutions. The system overall is very useful, with many capabilities that provide flexibility. Our budgeting and forecasting processes support around three hundred twenty users who would otherwise rely on Excel, making Board invaluable for saving time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"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."
"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."
"We can build reports super fast.​"
"If you want to streamline your business and reduce hourly time using the creation of spreadsheets or other financial reports that they should go for BOARD because it drastically reduces time."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"The Excel integration is great."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
 

Cons

"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"Pricing and licensing are not standard, but it can be tailored according to company needs."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"More visualization could be brought in more customization of data in regards to specific user requirements."
"The Windows client is a different story. It's not scalable at all, so we decided to go with the Web."
"Again, it's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"What could be better is the manual."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly."
"The usability could be better."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"From my perspective, I think Infor dEPM is a good solution for clients who want to deep dive into data analysis in finance, but it may be complicated."
"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."
"The pricing is competitive."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
