"With all the APIs it's very scalable."
"MicroStrategy has powerful data security features, which are crucial these days. For example, when users view data in MicroStrategy, they're only allowed to see a portion based on the permissions. When we evaluated other solutions like Power BI or Tableau, we found the security is very poor. They can't help us secure access to the data."
"This solution is the most scalable BI platform in the world."
"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."
"The architecture is very solid."
"It's a stand-alone mobile development app that you don't even have to do business intelligence on. You can just use it to build apps."
"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 an affordable one."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"Sometimes you can do something in reports, but you cannot do the same thing in documents."
"When we come to them with a problem, they might know more of a generalized solution, but not one targeted to our industry."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"There are a lot of offerings, and we are not fully using everything to its advantage."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
"There is room for improvement on the graphs."
"We've found the scalability to be very good. However, it depends on the environment. In general, it could be much better."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
