Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The virtual environment is very good."
"It helped us find find the optimal area for where our warehouse should be located."
"The documentation is excellent and the solution has a very large and active community that supports it."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The most valuable feature is the Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"It is a reliable solution for our needs."
"I have never had any problems with the stability."
"Speed for high level aggregation by using Intelligent Cubes."
"Tech support has been great, very responsive. We usually hear back within a day. We usually email them and that works out perfect. The right person always gets back to us."
"The ability to integrate with PPT is another plus. The platform's ability to write back data directly to the database is also good."
"It drives us away from Excel. For what it is for, it is good. You can't run a business on Excel."
"In terms of functionality, MicroStrategy is alright. It's a solid BI tool and can handle most tasks you'd expect."
"The subscription model is excellent. About half of our reporting comes out of the subscription, and from there, the ease of use in dragging and dropping reporting objects."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"It also takes up a lot of space."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"It is actually pretty complicated to use. It is complicated enough that user adaptation is sometimes difficult. We developed more experts rather than people using it."
"Another feature to consider in the future would be adding some additional offline capabilities without using desktops."
"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 should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."
"MicroStrategy needs to do some more development to make the platform easier to use. It's a complicated platform that requires a lot of skill to effectively utilize. So they could work on reducing the complexity to make it more accessible for a broader community of people."
"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 solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"I would like to see more integration."
