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.

Efficiently keeps track of how many mailboxes are created, how many are deleted, and things like that
We can keep track of how many mailboxes are created, how many are deleted, and things like that. It's a necessity for auditing to use a tool to monitor email tracking. So, it helps a lot with compliance. We can use the dashboard to see which Exchange servers are currently having issues, their health, and other details. The GUI is very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"Support from BOARD is fantastic; always returning with solutions for both server and application questions."
"Without actually programming, you can develop a workflow and solutions for a lot of things."
"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"I like this solution because it's so versatile, you can really model it after your specific business practices."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"We can use the dashboard to see which Exchange servers are currently having issues, their health, and other details. The GUI is very good."
"The email traffic analysis feature is very useful."
 

Cons

"​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"The issues that we have with Board are small."
"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."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print."
"I am primarily interested in reporting and automation improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting, maybe having more customizable reports would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"The pricing of Exchange Reporter Plus is very reasonable."
"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. It is affordable."
