What differentiates Board from other similar products?
Where most of the competitors focus on the core functioning of the software and require integration for the rest, Board uniquely combines enterprise planning, analytics, and reporting into a single platform. It empowers us to build customized applications without writing code, using its tools, logic blocks, and workflows.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Board easily integrates with many other data systems effectively, giving real-time visibility. I also like its responsive customer service and expert guidance. Its intuitive UI allows me to handle my financial operations independently. It is highly advanced but accessible to everyone, which is one of its greatest aspects. It offers advanced capabilities for driver-based planning, which is important for data-driven strategies.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I am highly satisfied working with EPM’s comprehensive functionality. I like its scalability with my business complexity, by supporting cross-functional collaboration. Instead of involving external parties, it has proved a full suite of capabilities.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Board is a powerful and flexible platform. Utilize its no-code design to equip finance and operational users to customize models, minimizing external reliance. Set up scenarios for revenue shifts to test the impact before making real-world decisions.
