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.

Custom cohort dashboards have transformed customer tracking but still need richer built‑in visuals
From my perspective, adding more custom visualizations as inbuilt features would be greatly beneficial for developers and other teams. For specific visualizations, we currently need to use Python and JavaScript combinations to create great visualizations such as cohort analysis. If these visualizations were added by default to Mode Enterprise, it would be beneficial for all of us. There are common visualizations that are not currently in Mode Enterprise but should be added. There are advantages and disadvantages to the current state. The advantages mainly include the ability to combine all datasets, which definitely reduces time. Because Python and JavaScript are supported, we can develop cohort dashboards, which many other BI tools do not support. Mode Enterprise supports cohort dashboards, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like this solution because it's so versatile, you can really model it after your specific business practices."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."
"We have been very happy with what we have seen."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"I find Board to be simple and easy to use."
"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 has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"The tool helps to catch results and review them."
"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"Mode Enterprise positively impacted my organization with its clean visualization and slightly faster response times."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."
"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"I have used many other BI tools, but when I compare other BI tools with Mode Enterprise, I find it more interesting because it supports Amazon Redshift and cloud-related technology as well as some static-related technology, and it also supports customization through coding with JavaScript and Python."
 

Cons

"Data import error messages can be improved to provide more information on why a record failed to get imported."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"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?"
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets​, I would like that going forward."
"​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​"
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"The solution could run faster."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"Mode Enterprise can be improved by reducing the cost, as I think the enterprise version is much costlier."
"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
"From my perspective, adding more custom visualizations as inbuilt features would be greatly beneficial for developers and other teams."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"​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 pricing is per user."
"My decision-maker found the pricing expensive, but it is okay for me."
"Mode Analytics is cheap compared to other tools."
