We performed a comparison between MicroStrategy and Salesforce Einstein Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability."
"I like that they're trying to incorporate Developer into Workstation and Desktop into Workstation, so you get the all-in-one encompassing, highly technical Developer Workstation where you can do the VI, you can do the Dossier."
"Speed for high level aggregation by using Intelligent Cubes."
"Semi-automatic support of implementing date dimensions, including delta to prior year implementation."
"Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable."
"The most valuable features are the Visual Insights and the visualizations."
"There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"I want to be able to have one report that's delivered to 30 different people and all 30 different people see something different. Now, you can do that today with metrics. You cannot do that with attributes. There's a component of that which, if an attribute is on granularity-one and another is on granularity-two, and you remove granularity-one, you're now going to be summing to a level that you did not expect before."
"Data writeback, and on-the-fly predictive analysis results from R and Python could be improved."
"We did have issues with stability, and that was because we were co-located with another business unit, and we outgrew them on the unit. So we had to get to a separate physical instance."
"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."
"I would like to see the enterprise version available in a demo or as a trial version."
"With Cube partition (v10.1 and above) scalability has not been an issue, but the Cube publish time, and temporary space consumption while the Cube is being published, has almost doubled during implementation of Cube partition."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"If there are some advanced visualization features - maybe I'm not aware of them - but if there were a Vitara which could work on top of MicroStrategy, it would make sense for MicroStrategy to have that within their own library. So they should add more visualizations to the library."
"The product is expensive."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
