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.

You can use the process mapping module to build processes that can be converted into SOPs. Licensing is unreasonable.
The process-mapping module helped the BPR team in creating detailed process maps quickly. The process converter tool helped the team establish baseline SOPs that can be taken further to implement comprehensive documentation that serves the departments’ needs. The content management part helped in sharing the processes safely with the rest of the organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"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."
"I find Board to be simple and easy to use."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"Board helps us to better explain KPI performance, thanks to the creation of dashboards that permit us to show the right information to discover trends and allows us to take action in advance."
"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"The new QPR Suite 2014 including QPR EnterpriseArchitect, QPR ProcessDesigner, QPR Metrics and QPR ProcessAnalyzer delivers the right capabilities for business management and enterprise architects to support operational development and business transformation cases."
"The process mapping module is highly user friendly and allows users to quickly build processes with thorough details that can be converted into comprehensive end-to-end SOPs."
"The product has so many features, but it has some unique ones that most of the similar products do not have."
 

Cons

"The Windows client is a different story. It's not scalable at all, so we decided to go with the Web."
"Implementation is rather complex. BOARD has a lot of flexibility, but it is sort of a development tool."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"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."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​"
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"The QPR content management module is highly complex and difficult to use."
"There should be an easier way of reporting, or producing, reports in MS Office."
"Mobile features need to be improved."
 

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."
"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."
