We performed a comparison between Board and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"We can build reports super fast."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"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."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"The most valuable features are data discovery and fine visualizations."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"It's very user-friendly. It's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly. Anybody can use Tableau. It's very easy to adopt things. I can visualize the stats."
"Tableau's initial setup was straightforward."
"I like the solution's web version, more so than Power BI's web version. It just makes it easier to drag and drop things and to blend data on the backend. It simplifies the process."
"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."
"The solution is configurable and flexible. We can customize the dashboards and configure the interface the way that we want. The data can be manipulated and arranged in different ways, such as columns."
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"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."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
"Improvements can be made in template support. The workbook file structure is really hard to version control. If there was some sort of version control support offered particularly for workbooks, that would help big time."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
