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.

Business Analytics enables us to better understand our business and compare ourselves meaningfully to our competitors.
The solution has a number of distinct features that are noteworthy. First, it is an incredibly flexible and fast, yet comprehensive analytical solution. Verix has found a way to deploy the solution quickly, in under 3 months, while providing a product that is robust and uniquely tailored to the sales model within the industry. Second, in response to specific business needs that are constantly arising, Verix is consistently able to address our needs in a quick and thoughtful manner. Additionally, since Verix is cloud-based, these changes happen almost immediately, usually within hours or days. Finally, Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."
"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"BOARD continues to grow and develop, and understands the needs of dynamic organizations, and seems to adopt their product to that."
"It is very easy to use. It has got what they call a toolkit, which is a no-code development environment. You can develop a whole solution with it because it is a complete platform. There is a lot of online material that can be used as a reference. You can help yourself while developing a solution. There are some prebuilt applications in the platform environment. You can very easily customize and integrate these applications. It also has flexible scaling of machine resources, which is really great."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"Verix has improved our processes since the entire sales force now functions on this standardized platform, which allows for smoother channels of communication throughout the team."
"Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user."
"Previously we were using a solution called Business Information Warehouse, and another called Tableau; neither was as easy to use or as advanced as the Verix solution."
"The ability to identify in real time changes in behavior that are in contrast to expected and past behavior applies to any constituent’s behavior – customers, prescribers, competitors, payers, and even your own sales reps, and the product is also extremely user friendly."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"What could be better is the manual."
"Data import error messages can be improved to provide more information on why a record failed to get imported."
"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."
"More visualization could be brought in more customization of data in regards to specific user requirements."
"Implementation is rather complex. BOARD has a lot of flexibility, but it is sort of a development tool."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"Currently there are 10 applications in the solution such as product launch and funnel. In the future I would like to see Verix add additional analytical applications so that an even greater range of the business aspects is covered."
"There are tools in the market that have very slick graphical interface features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"​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 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."
