Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Board receives overwhelming praise from users as a powerful and flexible BI toolkit that delivers on core strengths like budgeting, reporting, and dashboarding. Users consistently highlight its ease of use and learning curve, quick deployment, and ability for non-technical staff to build custom screens independently. The multidimensional architecture enables fast data retrieval and performance, and the platform's support for write-back functionality and dynamic security management earns particular appreciation from power users.
The main trade-offs are architectural rather than functional. Board operates more as a customizable toolkit than off-the-shelf software, requiring some technical familiarity to unlock its full potential—though most reviewers see this flexibility as a strength. One user noted it runs Windows-only, which may limit deployment options in certain environments. A couple of reviews mention that Business Strategy features could be refined, but this is raised only in passing.
Customer support and community engagement stand out as genuine differentiators; users consistently praise responsive support and the active Boardville community for problem-solving. The vendor's commitment to frequent releases and feature expansion also resonates across reviews. With six five-star ratings and two four-star ratings among eight reviews, satisfaction is genuinely high, and criticism—where it exists—focuses on edge cases rather than fundamental gaps.

“The most powerful and versatile BI system I have ever…”
The most powerful and versatile BI system I have ever used Pros: As a complete BI solution, BOARD allows a developer to easily create the structures required to build extremely powerful and fast data models by using 'sparsity' - the method of calculating the actual space required for cube objects. A great strength in modelling is the ability to rename and change relationships on the fly. With a logical and very visual interface, BOARD is a pleasant environment to work in, which enhances productivity. BOARD is able to provide end users the ability write back to cubes and create and amend entities. This ability makes the creation of workflows and security processes possible; a manager can add users and determine their level of access without returning to the developers. real time dynamic geo-charts allow for contextual maps to be created. BOARD have now opened the BOARD Community where users can ask questions in forums as well as help other users.

“BOARD delivered on our expectations, on time and on budget…”
BOARD delivered on our expectations, on time and on budget Pros: I like that non-technical folks can build screens on their own, and if they want assistance, partners are there to help. Cons: It's hard to compare BOARD to other products because it's more of a toolkit than an off-the-shelf software package.
