We performed a comparison between Board and QlikView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"It is useful to use a tool like this to have a view of data at a point in time. You can extract and create little data sets that you can store, and then over time, you can have a view for tracking changes. Especially when you work with a relational database or a database that's a production database, the data is dynamic, but if you use QlikView, you can take a snapshot of different datasets. In your own time, you can then get insights and report, build, analyze, and draw whatever you need from the data, which is quite useful."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"A well designed app brings freedom of inquiry to meetings, allowing me to answer questions in real time and this has transformed progress and outputs of our monthly group meeting."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Error handling."
"The user interface is old."
