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.

Custom cohort dashboards have transformed customer tracking but still need richer built‑in visuals
From my perspective, adding more custom visualizations as inbuilt features would be greatly beneficial for developers and other teams. For specific visualizations, we currently need to use Python and JavaScript combinations to create great visualizations such as cohort analysis. If these visualizations were added by default to Mode Enterprise, it would be beneficial for all of us. There are common visualizations that are not currently in Mode Enterprise but should be added. There are advantages and disadvantages to the current state. The advantages mainly include the ability to combine all datasets, which definitely reduces time. Because Python and JavaScript are supported, we can develop cohort dashboards, which many other BI tools do not support. Mode Enterprise supports cohort dashboards, which is a significant advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"The ROI is great."
"BOARD has allowed us to provide to clients a tool which allows them to see the state of their entire holdings managed by us."
"BOARD was the only company that came onsite to do a demo, and their demonstration blew us away."
"BOARD continues to grow and develop, and understands the needs of dynamic organizations, and seems to adopt their product to that."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"Mode Enterprise positively impacted my organization with its clean visualization and slightly faster response times."
"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."
"Mode Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by making data analysis and reporting much faster."
"The tool helps to catch results and review them."
"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."
"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."
"I have used many other BI tools, but when I compare other BI tools with Mode Enterprise, I find it more interesting because it supports Amazon Redshift and cloud-related technology as well as some static-related technology, and it also supports customization through coding with JavaScript and Python."
 

Cons

"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting."
"Initially we did have issues with the BOARD crashing, but at that time I was fairly new."
"​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"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."
"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
"Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
"Mode Enterprise can be improved by reducing the cost, as I think the enterprise version is much costlier."
"The solution could run faster."
"When I talk about improving Mode Enterprise, I would specifically like to address the need for easier drag-and-drop report creation, better self-service analysis for non-SQL queries, and improved sharing collaboration."
"From my perspective, adding more custom visualizations as inbuilt features would be greatly beneficial for developers and other teams."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."
"My decision-maker found the pricing expensive, but it is okay for me."
"The pricing is per user."
"Mode Analytics is cheap compared to other tools."
