Prepares reports automatically, helps review financial statements, and enables decision-making
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution to review financial statements, sales forecasts, and budgets. I use the test management and reporting tools. Board takes data from Business Central. We can analyze it. We can also drill down by products. For example, if we prepare a sales forecast, we can drill down and analyze when to expect growth and fall.
What is most valuable?
Board is quite a good solution. All the reports are prepared automatically. The data is uploaded from Business Central automatically. Sales analysis is a valuable feature. We can do a detailed analysis of the crops and their varieties. We can also do a sales forecast. The solution also has budget-related features. We can analyze the actual expenditure versus our budget.
The financial statements have had the most significant impact on our decision-making process. We can analyze it and write comments. It's good that Board has the functions that enable us to drill down. If we have a total amount, we can drill down to the transactions and how they influenced our results.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes, the data disappears from the product. We have had a few such cases. When I added my comments to the data, it disappeared. A technical specialist tried to restore it. It was not convenient. The solution must provide more flexibility. It must enable analysis in different dimensions. We can analyze by varieties now. Previously, we could analyze by customers, but now, it is not possible. I think it depends on our customization.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’ stability a six out of ten. Sometimes, the product is incorrect. We had some consistent technical issues. We fine-tuned and fixed them.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability a seven out of ten. The scalability is quite good. We can consolidate the data in the tool for a few legal entities. Three people are using the product in our organization. We use the tool once a week.
How are customer service and support?
Sometimes, support takes a lot of time. The issues are not fixed in a day. It can take three or four days, so we have to wait. The technical support must be improved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The solution is cloud-based.
What other advice do I have?
We use Board for just the integration with Business Central. We do not use the drag-and-drop interface. We do not use it for predictive analytics. We are not growing now. We have stable full-time employees. Our turnover is stable. People evaluating the product must know what they must have for their analytic needs. A specialist can create the report.
The most important thing is to know what we want, which forms, which reports, and what they should look like. We must have a good accounting system. Everything should be done properly to get the correct report. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

A stable solution with good user-experience, easy deployment but needs some improvement with engine
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used for financial purposes and HR.
What is most valuable?
The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I rate it eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is not very scalable and needs improvement. We had some performance issues with the big organisation with a lot of data. So Board could not support and could not address the amount of data of the big organizations. The ETL platform needs improvement and transformation.
How are customer service and support?
In comparison to the support team of other solutions, the support team of the Board is good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used IBM Planning Analytics previously. IBM engine is more powerful, but the user experience is better in Board. And the stability or the flexibility is good in both.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite simple. I rate it eight out of ten. The deployment of a solution depends on the context, if it's a complex application deployment then it takes longer. If you are talking about full deployment of an application maybe it takes longer from three weeks to six months. But the deployment of the Board is easier than IBM. It's the classic steps of any IT project that is used for the deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
It's a very interesting solution, and you have to have some knowledge on the Board before using it because it's not an easy tool to learn. For users that do not have experience with the BI or Power BI or some similar tools can find Board a bit complicated.
It's a good tool. It's a powerful tool, easy to use and deploy, but it needs some improvement.
I rate it seven out of ten.
