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 currently implementing Board Financial Consolidation package with Board consultants with optimum results in terms of time and comprehension of the product."
"Support from BOARD is fantastic; always returning with solutions for both server and application questions."
"The product is much easier to use, because it is geared towards more of a user-friendly force with the implementation."
"This platform has helped our organization streamline our budget process and give us insight into our customers, products and services."
"We can build reports super fast.​"
"The ROI is great."
"This product has saved us countless hours in developing our budget each year."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
 

Cons

"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"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."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"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."
"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?"
"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."
"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

"​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."
"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 is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
