Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Our data is now more structured. Between our data warehouse and BOARD, which are both brand new, we now have a more structured data view with more accurate, timely data."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"It has helped to consolidate data and report on a single version of the truth."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"They are introducing AI. There are good forecasting features and machine learning."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"The visualization is very good."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"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 a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"Oracle OBIEEE's performance and licensing costs could be improved."
"We needed some technical expertise during setup."
