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

"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."
"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system."
"What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"I find Board to be simple and easy to use."
"We can build reports super fast.​"
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"It has given us the ability to not only deliver key reports and metrics, but also to make them available on a self service basis."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
 

Cons

"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"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."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"The issues that we have with Board are small."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"The usability could be better."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"​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."
"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."
"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."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"The pricing is competitive."
