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

"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."
"It has helped us manage our workflow."
"It's got that combination of everything."
"The product is much easier to use, because it is geared towards more of a user-friendly force with the implementation."
"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."
"BOARD was the only company that came onsite to do a demo, and their demonstration blew us away."
"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"Budgeting and consolidation are the most valuable features in Infor dEPM, and the budgeting process and consolidation features prove very valuable when businesses work with the system."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
 

Cons

"In terms of scalability, I would say that there are some limitations in the solution. It cannot handle data that is too big."
"​My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. ​"
"Implementation is rather complex. BOARD has a lot of flexibility, but it is sort of a development tool."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​"
"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."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print."
"The issues that we have with Board are small."
"More visualization could be brought in more customization of data in regards to specific user requirements."
"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."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions. Integration is a concern."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"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."
"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."
