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."Now we can collaborate, in real time. In the past we had to wait for our business partners say if a visualization looked good or sufficed for their requirements. There was no real-time decision making. Now, with Dossier, it will accelerate the velocity of decision making."
"With the new version that's coming out, I think they have simplified a lot of things. Also, when it comes to the administration part, and sharing, and the collaboration features, they are really great. You can send out comments with a filter to someone in your organization, and if the person clicks on it, he actually sees what you are seeing. So that's really great."
"The solution is ideal for enterprise-level companies or corporations."
"It has the potential to become a great evangelist for AI and other embedded analytics."
"The simplicity of MicroStrategy is what I like the most."
"It's user-friendly, also the MTDI cube is a very good approach, as it helps you to use the pre-format instead of using the standard objects from the schema of MicroStrategy."
"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"The most valuable features are ad hoc reporting and the ability to create dashboards."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"The technical support services are good."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"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 In-Memory Capability (cubes) needs a lot of improvement."
"Needs tighter mapping integration."
"We had some problems with customer service and support."
"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"There needs to be better visualization."
"Consolidate the functional offering to be more concise in the front-end for web reports, dashboards, and self-service."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
