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 ROI is great."
"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."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"BOARD was the only company that came onsite to do a demo, and their demonstration blew us away."
"It's got that combination of everything."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"The product is much easier to use, because it is geared towards more of a user-friendly force with the implementation."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"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."
"​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. ​"
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"The reason I would say an eight and not a 10 is because - I do have a little bit of coding background - while it's nice that it's a user-interface development, could we speed it up if we could use code to actually develop faster, for people who would like that option?"
"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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