What differentiates Board from other similar products?

Board is different because you can customize the tool as you want. However, it is quite difficult to identify the right list of requirements to build a proper solution. It's here that the consultant's role becomes essential.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The possibility to customize the tool.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When building a solution, in board 14 there are some things that still do not work properly (eg: the block format, the difficulty of selecting a dataview when there are many on one screen)

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Buy this product only if you have a company that has all its internal process in place.

Pros

Unique Features
Caring
Acts with Integrity
Reliable

What differentiates Board from other similar products?

It's more customizable I guess (this is what I get from my not so big knowledge about this tools).

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It can be very well customizable for UI. Data integration is fast and reliable.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The data representation is quite weak compared to other tools. It would be nice to have more chances to write code directly inside to have even more customization

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This tool is highly customizable in terms of data process and UI. Users have the chance to accomplish mostly whatever they like data-wise. It's a very strong and user-friendly tool for data planning
