Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."

"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."

"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."

"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"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."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"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."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."
"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."
"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."
"In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions."
"Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved."
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."
