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.

Customizable features streamline installation and integration challenges remain
Our company is a partner of Infor in Germany. We mainly use Infor DEPM for finance solutions Infor DEPM has features that are well-prepared by Infor. I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements. This makes it easier to install and work with. With the prepared…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"We can build reports super fast.​"
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"The Excel integration is great."
"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."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."
"Initially we did have issues with the BOARD crashing, but at that time I was fairly new."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"What could be better is the manual."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It needs improvement in the areas of sales, credit, and supply chain."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"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 bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"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 mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
 

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."
"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"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."
"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."
