    Board is a useful tool with a great set of features. We migrated from human apps to board and we find it relatively fast in search results and better-managed threads and forums. There are some areas, such as UI and interactions which could be improved but overall a great product. The learning section is also pretty good.

    Cons
    Board International
    • Board BI tool has a steep learning curve and can be challenging for a new user to reach to board's full capacity.
    • We have to use a windows scheduler to schedule data import tasks; it would be great if Board could provide its own scheduler.

    Usability

    From a user perspective, Board is quite simple to use. You
    can evaluate the presentation of the data, the navigation, the configuration of
    the users, the selection of the data etc ... It would have a better rating if
    it were even more intuitive as regards the construction of a project, starting
    from the database, to the info-cubes, to entities, to data acquisition
    procedures from other servers.

    Support Rating

    The only time I needed assistance was due to a problem in
    the prints: the colors of the brochures as they were on the screen were not
    reproduced in the print, but a series of standard colors were reproduced. This
    fact made colored numbers on a colored background illegible. From the
    assistance they confirmed that it was a problem of version 10.2 that occurred
    when leaving the brochures with the default colors proposed by Board. To obtain
    the desired colors, they had to be personalized ... I didn't like the solution
    very much and the technician who recommended it didn't like me either, but they
    would have solved the problem with the following versions. In any case, the
    assistance was quick and effective even if not exactly efficient.

    It's Wonderful. They have been accessible when in need. the response is immediate and genuine. the support wait time is not too long either. when a fault is pointed out, thy accept it and try to work on it and within a week they try to find a better option to resolve the issue. Accepting and working to deliver better is really appreciable thing. Kudos to the team on that

    The problem of user profiling in our context is certainly
    quite complex. The complexity is given by the fact that the company is divided
    territorially into logistic points of sale, but at the same time they are
    virtually divided into divisions (or specific implementation areas) and points
    of sale of competence. The same operator can have access to data at different
    logistic sales points, sales points of competence and divisions.

    Board has been more complete when compared to Anaplan. Although I didn't participate in the buying decision of any of those products I have used both and by far Board just has more features. It's more than a CPM, it's BI and CPM put together. If I had to make a choice now it would be Board.

    It was a company decision, Excel was not automated and had high chances of human error and if not updated properly there may be chances of someone losing out on their attainment Ever stage being automated and linked to salesforce there is very less probability of mistake and also transparency in the records
