"In terms of functionality, MicroStrategy is alright. It's a solid BI tool and can handle most tasks you'd expect."
"I would recommend this solution for companies that are SAP dependent with users working in this environment."
"The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"Planning is the most valuable feature of the product because it's integrated and that means we don't need to rely on an independent planning environment."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"It is scalable."
"The online community page of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We would really like to see MicroStrategy have some support teams based more in Europe, because for now it seems that there is one person for the whole CE region. That is not exactly what we would like to see. We do know that MicroStrategy supports most places, either in the US or India, but those are different time zones, people, and cultures."

"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
"We have not invested nor are we planning to invest in MicroStrategy's mobile platform."
"Lacks a thriving community"

"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."
"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"The general management of this solution could be improved. The graphics or icons could also be improved to allow them to integrate with other environments on the web."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
