The biggest challenge to effectively using and developing for the Board platform is that you don't always know what you don't know. While that is true of most products, I can definitively say that I would have deployed the Board platform quite differently then I actually did had I the knowledge I do now then. In that vain, you are best to fully learn the product before fully diving in.
Pros
This software accurately provides all of the insights my organization needs, including predictive analytics. In fact, if I ever leave my current organization, I will be heavily recommending this solution to my next employer.
Cons
The biggest complaint that I have with the system is the time it takes to access support. That said, I usually always have the support I need within 24 hours.
Reasons for Choosing BOARD
We needed a more effective budgeting tool . Board was our selection from among the competitors for our business.Reasons for Switching to BOARD
We saw the possibility to easily bring this BI tool to every division of our company, while the competitors did not inspire in us the same level of excitement.- Industry: Business Supplies & Equipment

One tool for different puroposes
Reviewed on 26/01/2022
Pros
BOARD doesn't require any program language, so both implementation and reporting could be in the hands of users without the support of an IT specialist.
It's possible to implement the same models collecting from different sources and mixing different kind of information to satisfy different needs in the same report
Cons
Since the system is 100% web based, the main improvement could be to make it usable with the main browsers (currently not all the features work for some of them).
