"I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."
"The embedding feature is great."
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice."
"The reporting, the dashboards, and the new visualization functions. It is very easy for users to understand their data and dashboards."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"Technical support has sent us to rapid response before, when we really needed them."
"There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"The stability of the product is good."
"The solution is a very good enterprise tool with excellent enterprise functionality for security and user access. It also works perfectly in distribution, with everyone getting their own reports. It is very complex, so you can do whatever you want. If you want to make some data limitations, you can do it. I also like the internal in-memory engine with the Symantec layer. This makes the solution pretty powerful."
"The ability to create aesthetically pleasing information by providing dashboards."
"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there."
"The dashboard components could be better."
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products."
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"They should provide more tutorials and include some project files."
"When we come to them with a problem, they might know more of a generalized solution, but not one targeted to our industry."
"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."
"In the developer, there are things that you able to do in a document or a report that you are not able to do in the Dossier."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"One of the things that I want to see MicroStrategy do is become more cloud native. Right now, the deployment on cloud is very easy to ruin, it is very much like spinning up separate VMs."
