Export into Excel destroys the whole formatting.

I used board during one of my mission and was amazed by all it's features, i liked best. The fact that it is all in one.

This is good in operational data and tracking on your project progress. My job always done well because of this app/software.

Simple to use, easy to navigate, a tool for many users.

In that vain, you are best to fully learn the product before fully diving in.

Now we have good tool for our Budget and forecast process because we can save several Versions, have a workflow control and always acurate data.

Our initial project with BOARD was through a reseller and it was a difficult start for the product.

Easy to set up database, easy to draw reports, perfect connections with Oracle, db2, Microsoft SQL.good performance both with client version and with web.

A Solid BI Solution Once You Understand the Backend.

We managed to produce our reporting more quickly, we have improved the quality of our planning and we will now dedicated new developments to increase our productivity.

I am extremely satisfied with the customer service when reports or date sources have to be modified.

Only disadvantage I found about this tool is it can be installed on Windows only.

New version has improved a lot Web view and collaboration for developing. From version 9 graphics are more flexible and new GeoMap helps for location.

Dataview limitations on number of rows. Lack of time out on infinite sessions.

The offline usage should run a bit more smoothly.

Quick data analysis tools for reporting and forecasting, easy to use.

Easy to use, customize reports, dashboards. Great tool for financial budgeting.

Implemented Board for Budgeting&Reporting and for Business Intelligence, Board is solid and powerful.

Customer support is very proactive. They come up with the solution to a problem with great ease.

It has helped in taking the perfect records and tracking of business activities.

Ease to use by business people. Great feature to drill for specific values in charts.

Linking Board to multiple data sources is phenomenal, this is why I like Board the most. I know this tool like the back of my hand because it is so intuitive.

It provides marketing tracks to best optimize our business. It has helped to analyze and automate our financial opportunity.

Integrated capabilities: schedule, reader, procedures all provide a good level of flexibility. Support organisation is always willing to help.

In addition, the customer support is exceptional. I have had wonderful experiences with our rep. He is remarkable in how he explains things and his patience.

We are very glad, having this excellent software as our reporting tool. We rolled it out nearly over the whole world and everybody is happy.

User friendly, fast learning curve, drill down capacity to analyze the data, lots of connector with almost any data source. Support is also excellent and really fast.

Easy and fast tool to build up budget, reporting or pricing applications - we are very satisfied with this tool.

The lack of online training, and the need of some users to change their mind and get used to the interface.

Excellent Integration and normalization data from different sources.

Stock control is the most impactful and helpful.

Automation seems to work well, and plays nice with BigCommerce.

We have used Brightpearl for nearly four years now. It was probably more than we needed initially but we decided it was worth the investment to carry us through early business growth.

Brightpearl charges a hefty price (more than $10K) for onboarding data, setup and training and both are disappointing. Data migration is complex because Brightpearl keeps its data in an uncommon way.

We have just integrated Magento which works perfectly and links direct to our website. I would also recommend watching the you tube videos as these are very helpful in the beginning.

Immensely frustrating when  the supprt team offer no fixes to our problems. The bigger we grow the more severe the consequences of their bugs and issues.

It provides everything we need to operate our eCommerce business effectively and efficiently. Their innovation/product roadmap caters, certainly in our case, to current trends and requirements.

I hope as brightpearl expands it can keep true to it's roots of supporting small businesses with a system that would normally only be available to big business with big budgets.

Overall, Brightpearl did not meet its promises. After just 6 months, we made a decision to start looking elsewhere and abandon the tremendous investment we had made in Brightpearl.

The help guides and YouTube videos are great and the set-up is very user friendly. Compared to the alternatives on the market, I can't recommend this highly enough.

The team have always been helpful and friendly and have felt like we had a partner in software as opposed to some large faceless organisation.

We have used it for several years and on the whole it is a very good system.

We thank goodness eventually found Brightpearl - it has quite simply transformed things for us. I don't know how we ran a business like ours before BP.

It gives us the ability to have a total overview of all our shipping activities and makes it easy for us to manage a lot of data.

Bright Pearl gives us an easy way to handle our daily shipments as it is easy for us to collaborate across our different departments and integrate with all of our softwares.

We have now been using Brightpearl for several years. It is very user friendly with significant functionality which has improved our reporting function so necessary in a small business.

It is cloud-based, easy to use, intuitive and so so clever. I can't recommend highly enough plus they are really nice people to work with too.

Excellent integrated software with solid support.

BrightPearl has been very useful for helping us with our inventory tracking and reporting. The customer service is awesome, they respond very quickly with any question/comment we may have.

Brightpearl is a fantastic all in one ERP system.
