Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has excellent features available on mobile.""I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability.​""The platform can be easily monitored. You have quite a good overview of tasks which are being run.""Workstation and Desktop on the client side will speed up some development activities.""The most valuable feature is the ability to actually embed actions, comments, being able to leverage Transaction Services to embed the tool into a business process.""MicroStrategy's solution for mobile is very good.""We pretty much use the knowledge base.​ We feel that Microstrategy's community is a good forum to use.""I think what we're currently excited about is the ability to integrate R. Most of our data scientists use R for their modeling. I heard at one of the sessions, here at MicroStrategy World 2018, that you can put your R scripts directly into MicroStrategy, so any modeling effort that you've done in the past can be transferred into MicroStrategy."

"The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective.""The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts.""The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing.""The tool helps to catch results and review them."

Cons
"MicroStrategy's mobile dashboard is still not a RESTful design.""I did not see any additional value of providing one button for installation on the whole platform if it was going to be installed for different servers. You would have to make customization every time. There was no additional value in an installer.""We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers.""Needs ​tighter mapping integration.""Its price should be lower. In terms of features, what we have is quite encompassing right now.""MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau.""If they can make it more stable, in terms of the connectivity, that would help.""If you compare it with Power BI with the DAX language, it would be great to put that into MicroStrategy."

More MicroStrategy Cons →

"The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.""I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better.""The solution could run faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "The price was good. We have had great support along the way."
  • "We actually researched some of the other solutions. For options, price, and customer acceptance, this product has worked well for us.​"
  • "​They gave us a good deal.​"
  • "There have been actual direct bottomline impacts in terms of extra revenue created from the reporting solutions."
  • "They need to work on their license structure. They are not competitive against somebody like SAP BusinessObjects. We had a quote that was almost a third the price, coming from SAP BusinessObjects, and it's not a better platform. It's not cheaper. They do concurrent user licensing, while MicroStrategy does named user licensing, and that was literally the only difference. But it made a $500,000 difference. They've got to do something to make themselves more competitive. Maybe it's assessing your business users and what you really expect them to use, and maybe giving a reduced price on that. But they are already giving us a 60% discount and they were still a million or so above, over a three-year time period. That doesn't account for synergies as we get from on-site resources that are already available, but I thought that that was a big, big deficit for them."

  • "Mode Analytics is cheap compared to other tools."
  • "The pricing is per user."
  • "My decision-maker found the pricing expensive, but it is okay for me."

    MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
    After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau. Many companies are investing in both tools and are trying to figure out the right tool for specific applications Tableau has found its sweet-spot as an agile discovery tool that analysts use to create and share insights. It is also the tool of choice for rapid prototyping of dashboards. Tableau is very flexible with its data import. Tableau's data blending capability is very intuitive. This capability is useful when you have data spread across several different sources that has not gone through ETL processes. This is a problem analysts deal with routinely. They are unable to wait for the data warehouse team to develop ETL processes to provide the physical models they need to build an analysis. The Tableau interface is Excel-like and has a low barrier to entry for analysts that are used to working in Excel. Building a dashboard by mashing up visualizations in a Tableau worksheet is extremely simple. Users are able to build good presentation-quality dashboards in a very short amount time. Tableau's annotations capabilities and its time and geographical intelligence are key differentiators. Tableau has overcome limitations in data sharing with the introduction of a Data Server in Tableau 7.0. The Data server allows Data sources and extracts to be shared securely and opens up interesting new possibilities. If your application can take advantage of the above… Read more →
