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."We are using mobile analytics, and it is amazing."
"Project Schema/metadata- Very flexible, connects to a variety of different data sources and is very flexible for many specific tasks. Attributes/metrics/filters created once used by everyone."
"Provides us charts and graphs for reporting."
"It is definitely customizable. We have been able to put in key metrics and performance indicators, thus it is customizable."
"Has a great semantic layer."
"It is always nice to have one solution in a single platform. You can do pretty much everything, instead of having to get a little bit here or a little bit there."
"The convenience of it. Having it on the mobile, so someone has it right there in their pocket most of the time."
"We have ramped up user adoption."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"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."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"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 technical support services are good."
"We did have issues with stability, and that was because we were co-located with another business unit, and we outgrew them on the unit. So we had to get to a separate physical instance."
"If there are some advanced visualization features - maybe I'm not aware of them - but if there were a Vitara which could work on top of MicroStrategy, it would make sense for MicroStrategy to have that within their own library. So they should add more visualizations to the library."
"We had some problems with customer service and support."
"I would like to see a feature where migrations are easier. When you migrate from certain environments, it could probably be a little cleaner. Sometimes it seems to be somewhat clunky when you migrate from one environment, say a development to a test or production environment."
"Training would be an area that they could improve upon."
"I know we are not competing against Tableau, but MicroStrategy needs to step up its game on the GUI side."
"I would like to see more integration."
"There is room for improvement on the graphs."
"Colours used on report objects"
"SAS Visual Analytics could be more user-friendly."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
