Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Comprehensive security control and more."
"The whole repository side of things is beneficial because you develop it once, and you can use it anywhere, in the Enterprise grade."
"There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"The architecture is very solid."
"We are using mobile analytics, and it is amazing."
"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 product is very mature. It's quite robust and an excellent enterprise-level solution."
"The ability to create aesthetically pleasing information by providing dashboards."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab."
 

Cons

"Scalability is something which will need to be improved when it goes to a bigger audience."
"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."
"I know we are not competing against Tableau, but MicroStrategy needs to step up its game on the GUI side.​"
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
"Something I would be interested in is more visualizations, because right now we use SDK to create some. If there were more out-of-the-box options, we would be happy with that."
"They should provide more tutorials and include some project files."
"We have the mobile server. We have not used it. That is because the people on our team have not been trained on it yet, but that is something that we want to do."
"​The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup.​"
"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​"
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s licensing cost is expensive."
"Pricing, in general, is high. With Power BI, you get mobile with the license, whereas with MicroStrategy, you have to purchase mobile for extra."
"They made a change in the licensing module some time ago and we can now use all the enterprise tools for free."
"The pricing for MicroStrategy is always on the higher side. They should seriously start thinking about their pricing and licensing strategy."
"MicroStrategy's licensing cost is higher than that of other tools in the market. My company uses the enterprise edition of the product."
"The price was good. We have had great support along the way."
"While initial cost of MicroStrategy is still on the higher side, the long-term benefits brings down overall cost of ownership significantly as compared to other tools like Tableau/Cognos."
"Additional costs are associated with maintenance."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
