Wiboon Thabsuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features
I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products. Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.

Workflow is straightforward and simple to understand, but there should be more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view
There is a little bit of reliance upon understanding the syntax of the actions that you want to take. Some of the other competitors have moved forward with that in terms of being able to make it more drag and drop and more logical, but there is still some way to go for UNIT4 in doing that, but they're getting there. With all these things, automation helps. The more they can do to simplify some of the complexities from the financial reporting, evaluation, and analysis sides, the better it would be. I'd like to see more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
More Board pros
"Its workflow is straightforward and simple to understand."
 

Cons

"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. ​It should be a little more intuitive."
"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 Board cons
"There is a little bit of reliance upon understanding the syntax of the actions that you want to take. Some of the other competitors have moved forward with that in terms of being able to make it more drag and drop and more logical, but there is still some way to go for UNIT4 in doing that, but they're getting there. With all these things, automation helps. The more they can do to simplify some of the complexities from the financial reporting, evaluation, and analysis sides, the better it would be. I'd like to see more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"It's perhaps on the slightly richer side of pricing for the markets that we focus on because we tend to focus on the SME or the small to medium enterprise market, whereas a lot of UNIT4 ERP customers are in local government, universities, etc. Some years ago, they were launching an initiative to be keenly priced for that SME market, but today, the foot has come off the accelerator a bit. It isn't the cheapest, but it is also not the most expensive one."
