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

"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"Without actually programming, you can develop a workflow and solutions for a lot of things."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"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."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"We use it across our entire business; we use it for financial data, inventory data, sales data, and inventory transaction data, and it is performing very well."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"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."
"If you are using only spreadsheets and have to download your data from various sources then you will have to reconcile these to build reports that make sense, this product will improve your life."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"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."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
 

Cons

"Pricing and licensing are not standard, but it can be tailored according to company needs."
"​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​"
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"The system solution is about a nine out of 10, and the only reason why I would give it a nine and not a 10, is that it still takes IT folks to really support it."
"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."
"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."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers who aren't particularly technical, so you could really get it out there to literally every employee, or every customer."
"The usability could be better."
"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."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
 

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."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
