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."On our mobile solution you can deploy up to 100,000 users. In our case, we're up to about 10,000 active users, and MicroStrategy's server technology behind the scenes, the Intelligence Server and the Mobile Servers, are very robust and they can handle the workload."
"This solution has allowed us to become a top-class competitor among other consulting companies."
"I like the user interface and the experience has been great."
"With all the APIs it's very scalable."
"We use MicroStrategy as an integrated solution with some of their other CRM type applications."
"We are using it for operations analysis and sales data analysis."
"Getting more data to people more quickly. Providing more flexibility for how they use the data."
"There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"Data preparation is fantastic and fast. We were able to use multiple data sources and prepare the data quickly."
"It's great for consolidation and creating one source of truth."
"It plays a crucial role in facilitating decision-making for various organizational stakeholders."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"It's really an enterprise solution. It has a dashboard, like standard dashboarding functionality. It also has reporting capabilities for producing pixel-perfect reports, bursting large volumes of a document if you need to. It has interactive data discovery functionality, which you would use to explore your data, bring your own data, and merge it with maybe the data from an enterprise data warehouse to get new insights from the pre-existing data. It has machine learning embedded in the solution. If you're new to machine learning, it's a really good way to get into it, because it's all within this platform, and it's really easy to use."
"The technical support services are good."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are dashboarding and data visualization."
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"It needs row-level security, column-level security, on attributes. I want to be able to handle full-scale security model from the semantic layer, flat out."
"There might be opportunities for reporting or data analysis, perhaps even in the realm of simulation."
"I would like to see the enterprise version available in a demo or as a trial version."
"It needs better visualizations."
"It is performing well, but sometimes we have complex requirements and the performance decreases, and then we have to find another way to make it perform again. That is what you encounter when use the project, but that's inevitable because if we would have used another product, we would've had the same thing."
"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'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 scalability has room for improvement."
"The interfaces could be improved and some in-memory operations could be built in."
"The learning curve should be improved, and I'm uncertain if tutorials are readily available or easily accessible. We may have resorted to looking on YouTube for such information. Having easily understandable documents or guides for new users would be beneficial. AI integration would be an interesting feature to add in the next release."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"Analytics Cloud allows you to merge various data types and structure data from multiple sources."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The solution could be more flexible."
