A deeper look at Board

Board enables business users to analyze, simulate, plan, forecast, and create in one single platform. Board can help businesses automate processes and workflows, helping to increase productivity with efficiency and speed. And the combination of business intelligence (BI) and corporate performance management (CPM) helps organizations better monitor and manage their performance with KPIs. You can also tailor the platform’s capabilities to meet your needs.

However, it’s important to note that Board has a steep learning curve, limited support, and its export options lack high-quality graphics. And even though Board can combine BI with CPM to integrate large amounts of data from CRM systems and centralize that information into one single view, it’s also difficult for the platform to read large databases. 

When it comes to planning for the future, businesses can leverage Board’s budgeting and forecasting tools with no-coding predictive analytics helping to identify opportunities to act. Board works to bring together BI insights to fuel decision-making with the foresight and proactive approach of the CPM software, helping to make Board a reliable tool for mid-large size companies looking to improve their business outcomes.

What sets Domo apart from Board

What helps to set Domo apart is its ability to excel at proactively tracking KPIs and metrics, its options for data representation and visualization, its data connectivity with different sources, its collaboration ability, and its overall accessibility since you can access real-time insights from any browser or mobile device.

While Board’s BI platform can explore data, run effective analysis, build interactive dashboards, and create meaningful reports, it lacks the range of extensive capabilities that Domo has. Like with any platform, it also has its drawbacks. Because it lacks API, it limits incorporation with other business systems, and it takes more time to read large databases. Lastly, its ETL tools are not strong in comparison with other tools. Yes, you can drive better decision-making, gather forward-looking data insights, and align performance with corporate strategic objectives, but there are also drawbacks to consider. But Domo provides more advantages, including the quality of graphics, ETL capabilities, intuitiveness of the interface, and support offered.

Domo’s advantages

Within Domo’s cloud platform, you can achieve excellent KPI monitoring by integrating structured and unstructured data from all sources, both on-premise and cloud-based. And Domo’s web-based cloud infrastructure is a major plus, as it allows users to have consistent access to real-time data insights from any computer or mobile device.

Not only that, but with Alerts, collaboration between teams is taken to the next level. It allows teams to get automated alerts when data passes customized thresholds, giving them the tools they need to act on data faster. This further helps users throughout the organization access insights that can help them succeed in their individual roles and as a team. Plus, you can optimize your business on mobile, tablet, or desktop with real-time alerts about specific topics and data that are driving business.

Another feature to note is Domo’s data visualization capabilities. Business users can create pie charts, graphs, interactive maps, and other data visualizations with just a few clicks. You can even customize your views to let the data tell a story, presenting the data in a way that supports analysis, provides commentary, allows and support interacting with the data, and is able to be customized to your brand (all with no coding). Plus, you can save time with pre-built dashboards designed to help you get quick insights across roles and industries.

Domo is all about simplifying big data and unifying collective intelligence throughout an organization to help improve business with agile, accessible, and mobile-ready data insights.
