"Mobile brings reports/dashboards closer to the business user."
"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"We've made a few enhancements to our Enterprise Manager system to allow self-reporting to grow. We see that as a very useful system. It's been incredibly beneficial in diagnosing production performance issues, diagnosing what reports are running slowly, where the SQL could be optimized, opportunities or metrics where we see long-time running performance. Enterprise Manager has been absolutely vital in giving us some of the insights about our system."
"It plays a vital role in establishing a connection with predictive continuous improvement."
"I have never had any problems with the stability."
"We prefer having the analytic capabilities in a single platform, like MicroStrategy provides, because it is easier. The customer gets used to one type of tool, then sticks with it."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"MicroStrategy should improve migration automation. Additionally, I would like there to be better partnership support."
"The pricing could be lower because it is costly."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"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."
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"If you do not learn the ins or outs, it can be a difficult tool to use. You could do a PoC and get enough out of it to be able to use it. However, when it comes to administering it, you definitely need the training."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"I think they're still lacking on customer service. I think historically, MicroStrategy's customer service was a lot better than it is today."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
