What differentiates Board from other similar products?

The no code component which allows basically anyone to work with the tool and learn it quite quickly. Especially because EPM tools are mostly having business/finance users which are not technical and knowledgable in coding. Then the tool is also very flexible and scalable as each solution is customizable to each organization.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease of use via drag & drop and the intuitive way of building procedure in a step by step matter

What do you dislike most about this product?

The tool is very customizable which could also be a downside when not implemented correctly. With Board it is key to have the first implementation be a solid base for future grow.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure that you are comfortable with the expertise of the implementation partner. This party will play a crucial role in the success of a Board implementation. Second, be committed and involved in the building process from day 1.
