Offers flexibility in design and saves time in budgeting and forecasting processes
I find Board to be simple and easy to use. It offers significant flexibility in designing solutions. The system overall is very useful, with many capabilities that provide flexibility. Our budgeting and forecasting processes support around three hundred twenty users who would otherwise rely on Excel, making Board invaluable for saving time.

Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."
"Board helps us to better explain KPI performance, thanks to the creation of dashboards that permit us to show the right information to discover trends and allows us to take action in advance."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"This platform has helped our organization streamline our budget process and give us insight into our customers, products and services."
"The product is much easier to use, because it is geared towards more of a user-friendly force with the implementation."
"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
 

Cons

"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers who aren't particularly technical, so you could really get it out there to literally every employee, or every customer."
"​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"What could be better is the manual."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."
"​In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."
"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."
