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.

Major Account Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."
"I like this solution because it's so versatile, you can really model it after your specific business practices."
"BOARD continues to grow and develop, and understands the needs of dynamic organizations, and seems to adopt their product to that."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"All the data is in one system, making it a one-stop system and solution for end-to-end planning."
"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"The designer and workspace tools in Kofax Insight are good, providing the ability to design applications directly and read various types of PDF images, handwritten files and cheques, transferring the data from these images into the database and making it accessible on mobile and computer devices."
"Based on my experience, it's been a very, very good product, a very powerful insight analytics or business KPI-type tool that provides a very good data-based review of intelligent document processing and allows clients to develop their own reliable, customized reports."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"The solution is easy to manage, very easy to scan and archive documents, and after digitizing it is very easy to reach archived documents."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"​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. ​"
"Initially we did have issues with the BOARD crashing, but at that time I was fairly new."
"More visualization could be brought in more customization of data in regards to specific user requirements."
"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."
"Implementation is rather complex. BOARD has a lot of flexibility, but it is sort of a development tool."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting."
"​One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes.​"
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers who aren't particularly technical, so you could really get it out there to literally every employee, or every customer."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
"The reporting and internal integration systems could be improved by making them more user-friendly."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"The solution is not cheap. It is a bit pricey, and therefore more suited towards larger companies."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
