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've made it an open BI platform, so that all our business analysts can build their own dashboards and Dossiers."
"Getting more data to people more quickly. Providing more flexibility for how they use the data."
"MicroStrategy has what they call the Semantic Graph — an enterprise-grade semantic graph — and I think the technology is fantastic."
"Visual Insights (VI)"
"Building apps is easy. You just drag in your data, and then you drag in all the elements that you want on your app. It's drag and drop design, and then you can customize your visuals. They make it all easy with plug and play widgets."
"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."
"The single stack solution will always be more profitable, scalable, and elastic for organizational needs."
"The solution is ideal for enterprise-level companies or corporations."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"It's valuable feature is that it is user-friendly and doesn't require much time for understanding. The solution is stable. The initial setup was straightforward."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the BAS (Business Analytics), the Narrate feature, and the auto-visualization."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"The technical support is excellent, and they respond quickly."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"I've discovered that the new layout of this product makes Docker sharing, machine learning support, and data backups more efficient. Unlike the older method of linking physical, pre-logical, and presentation layers separately, the new interface simplifies this process. Additionally, the integration of databases and machine learning is seamless, with the new visualization approach being particularly beautiful and highly beneficial."
"They should provide more tutorials and include some project files."
"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."
"I think they're still lacking on customer service. I think historically, MicroStrategy's customer service was a lot better than it is today."
"If you compare it with Power BI with the DAX language, it would be great to put that into MicroStrategy."
"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."
"We're starting to open it up to more and more people to give them the ability and start looking at these things themselves, but it's not the most intuitive system, Enterprise Manager that is, so it's tough. We're trying to bridge the gap between usability and who we let in the system, because you're not going to come in and just pick it up."
"The graphs available for the new dashboard of version 10 are weak."
"They need to do a better job In its ability to allow end users to produce their own reports, metrics, and self-service business intelligence."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"The product should be improved in terms of connectors; right now the top twenty connectors are available, but OneDrive and Teradata are missing."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"It should simplify data connectivity and modeling, making data extraction more streamlined and adaptable for diverse use cases."
"One area of improvement is associated with more connectors needing to be added such as Microsoft OneDrive, Teradata and a few others. I think the list is limited to the top ones now."
"It's not a failure of the product; it's just an architectural choice. It has to do with data modeling. I'm comparing this to another product, which is Oracle's developer client and probably called Oracle BI Developer Client Tool. The data modeler, which is cloud-based, and Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is local or on-premises-based, both can do the same thing in data modeling. However, the cloud tool does not have as many features as the Oracle BI Developer Client Tool, which is closest to the OBIEE Administration Tool with full feature data modeling, metadata development, and so forth. In a complex environment or implementation, that is the capability that you need."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
