I started using Board from my previous organization and there our planning and analyst team are faced difficulty in order to drive the business. At that point, we came to know about the Board and gave a try for lead transformation. This enabled the opportunities and discovered solutions which the company faced challenges at the time of planning and execution.
Board helps us look at all of the data and make better and more informed business decisions regarding our company's future. It allows us to consolidate in record time between all of our departments. That's the most important of this software if you ask me. Engineering, Marketing, and Finance all come together.

Consolidation between different sectors of the company.
Helps us plan for the future with clear data.
Our HR is using it to report on employee performance.

The UI could be more up to date.
Not as fast and smooth as they claim it to be. Still not that bad.

It's been very good when all departments of the company had to pitch in data/information for a specific business decision. My company had to have input from Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Customer Support, and accounting in order to decide on what kind of development was next needed for our platform.
Board is a Business Intelligence tool with the help of which we configure and analyze our data to get market insights which helps tremendously in determining the organization's needs. We also use Board's different features like fetching reports which are to be sent to the counterparts and stakeholders for various meetings.

The customers have both the choices either On-Premises or On Cloud since Cloud is more popular nowadays I would recommend Cloud to opt for.
The users can get along with Board quite easily because of it's easy to use UI and Drag & Drop features.
The complex calculations of reports is done so easily and quickly with the help of inbuilt functions.
Cons
There is less learning content about Board on free platforms which can be increased just like other products have currently.
The updates for On-Premise and Cloud should be in sync both should receive updates from time to time.
It has all the features and functionalities to make it a powerful tool, need to look into the pricing side of it.
Likelihood to Recommend
It has the ability to handle complex and heavy data, its built-in functions are capable to perform complex calculations with ease. The Drag and Drop feature makes it more user-friendly. The support base is also appreciable and approachable. The pricing part needs to be looked into to make it more affordable and competitive in the market. Also there should be easily accessible learning platform.

As part of central Cloud Business Office(CBO), I handle FinOps and responsible for evangelising about public cloud optimisation to Engineering groups. We use Board as BI platform to aggregate cost data from all the major cloud providers (GCP, Azure, AWS) and then do cost review with different business units. This tool helps us optimize our public cloud spend. Creation of org level reports is very easy and it is being used heavily to do forecasting and budgeting for the IT spend.
Pros
Data imports from various aggregators is super easy with easy roll-ups.
The UI is super simplistic and dashborad/report creation is very good.
Their customer support is really good and it's a Saas Platform with quick and easy deployment.
Recently we have started using their analytics feature for forecasting and making purchase decision for reservations. So far so good.
Cons
Data modelling is a bit of hassle and more documentation will be helpful.
It would be great to have actionables configured right of the dashboard. The idea is to look at report and take an action right there (eg: sending email or slack notification)
The integration with Office 365 leaves a lot to be desired.
Likelihood to Recommend
Board is well suited to get data from multiple data sources and create dashboards for quick forecasting and decision making. i.e. it's a BI platform and does a very good job of making data appear more coherent and easier to understand.
The product doesn't have its own intelligence or recommendation system. Hence if you have a specific use-case for it, you probably would like to consider other standard tools in market which do more than what a BI tool can.
I got to use this Board as a consultant with a company. The UI for Board is really well done, and configuration is not too complicated if you are used to system configurations. You can quickly analyze types of files and get useful reports out of this. We helped implement this for the technology teams at an energy client, helping us get a clearer image on budget and spend. Overall, I would use this product again and recommend this to other customers. I found it more intuitive than other systems where you would have to manually create these reports with consultants.
Pros
Reporting
Analytics
Data Management
Integration
Cons
Better Demos for Self Learning Online

I think this is a great platform that can supplement other enterprise platforms your company has. Board's strength is definitely in it's easy to use analytical capabilities, we found it's strength in users being able to adapt it quickly.

Board was used as we were searching for a platform to help my team and me analyze and forecast sales data to find the best avenue for investments. As a company that needs to fund hotels, I had to measure the variety of channels between bank loans, investment raising, and brand partnerships to see which was most feasible and yielded the best ROI.
Pros
HUGE data loads
I can throw files directly onto the page without needing to dig through the "open" search window
Analytics is displayed in great visual graphics
Cons
Initial implementation is tedious (I get its necessary, but still...)
Layout design is tricky too
My experience with customer service took forever
Likelihood to Recommend
As with any data analytics platform, you need to have large amounts of quantifiable and RELIABLE data for the system to make valid recommendations. I would suggest large-scale projects and analytics. If you want something smaller scale, there are probably better-suited platforms and applications. Having a dedicated team to solely manage the platform is best too. Not for the small team settings.

It shines more in creating interactive dashboards, which helps to make understand our raw data to our product owners more easily. It needs to have more templates to choose from.
