We performed a comparison between MicroStrategy and Salesforce Einstein Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."
"It was easy to install and implement a report with it."
"We are using it for operations analysis and sales data analysis."
"It is a reliable solution for our needs."
"The platform can be easily monitored. You have quite a good overview of tasks which are being run."
"The implementation was fairly straightforward."
"We are using mobile analytics, and it is amazing."
"It scales well. It used to have only a max of four I-servers, but I think recently, somewhere in version 10, they doubled that, so you can have eight I-servers now."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"When we come to them with a problem, they might know more of a generalized solution, but not one targeted to our industry."
"The problem is the way that their metrics are designed. It can be difficult to understand what you're actually looking at. Then when you're comparing a document against the VI, you can't actually do that properly. So there are components, and there is a huge learning curve in the Enterprise Manager space. I think it would benefit them greatly if they were to exercise a significant amount of research and development in that space."
"You can now do data blending at the document level and data blending allows you to show results from different data sets in one grid, so to speak. I want to be able to create a data set that can receive data from multiple cubes, have it in one data set, and then bring it to the document, because then I can reuse it for other documents. Now, I have to do it in a document and then it's less reusable, because if I want to share that functionality, I have to copy the document, strip a lot of things, and then work on that basic element that I've built in that document."
"There needs to be better visualization."
"Its price should be lower. In terms of features, what we have is quite encompassing right now."
"I would like to see more integration."
"MicroStrategy should improve migration automation. Additionally, I would like there to be better partnership support."
"We had some problems with customer service and support."
"The product is expensive."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
