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.
Anirban Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Deloitte
Provides superior integration capabilities and ability to handle complex data transformations 
One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded. Any correction requires reloading the entire dataset from the source, which can be inefficient. They should include a feature for granular data updates, allowing users to edit specific entries without reloading entire datasets.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of BOARD is that it is comprised of a full bundle package solution, while being a BI and CPM tool."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"BOARD continues to grow and develop, and understands the needs of dynamic organizations, and seems to adopt their product to that."
"We use it across our entire business; we use it for financial data, inventory data, sales data, and inventory transaction data, and it is performing very well."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"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 ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"The customer service and support are pretty good."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable, with minimal issues affecting its performance."
"The product is easier to use compared to other applications."
"I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation."
 

Cons

"In terms of scalability, I would say that there are some limitations in the solution. It cannot handle data that is too big."
"Initial setup was complex because my company has its own fiscal calendar that was difficult to set up."
"It needs improvement in the areas of sales, credit, and supply chain."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"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?"
"The issues that we have with Board are small."
"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."
"There is not much flexibility in how we can add external data within Workday Prisma Analytics."
"It is not a very scalable product."
"The visualization techniques must be upgraded."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded."
"When you create certain objects, a lot of the time, the fields are text. They’re not numeric, date, or any other field type"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"​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 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."
"Based on whatever I have heard, Workday Prism Analytics is considered an expensive tool."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
