It offers excellent stability features. I would rate it nine out of ten.

It is a stable solution.

2 years in production and I don’t believe we’ve had a single issue in regards to the system being down or unavailable.

The stability of the product is good.

MicroStrategy is a stable solution. It is their strongest point.

The CEO of MicroStrategy usually has his own conference here and comes in personally. We have discussed many features and other topics with him. I believe they are focusing on this. And this is where they excel.

On the point of the semantic layer, yes, they are very strong on the question of stability. However, you need to have people that specialize in SQL, that really are specialized in MicroStrategy, that they really understand how the tool works. 

I have not encountered any stability issues.

MicroStrategy is a very stable solution. Even if there are any bugs, the support team is quite knowledgeable in resolving those usual product bugs.

The solution is stable. We haven’t got into any trouble.
 

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. Sometimes Power BI is better than MicroStrategy.

We haven't had any bugs with the latest version of MicroStrategy.

MicroStrategy is highly stable, and the security is okay. We have a few MicroStrategy servers, a dispatch log, and a load balancer, and we can add more on-premise solutions and servers to improve the performance. We are considering making a switch to an Azure solution eventually but not right now. We can tweak MicroStrategy's performance, and the load balancer works well.

MicroStrategy is very stable.

It is stable to a certain extent, but after some time, it kicks the user out of the activity that the user was doing in MicroStrategy.

As long as the initial setup is done properly, there is nothing to worry in the long run. Users have to make sure they keep the product updated with patches.

No.

We encountered stability issues in the beginning; the learning curve for troubleshooting is not small. However, after training on the MicroStrategy server was done, we found the platform very reliable.

Their business practices and the solution itself are in sync with our business strategies, so I am very confident.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten because MicroStrategy is generally stable, but every new version seems to have bugs.  

We did not have any stability issues. So, I would rate MicroStrategy a ten out of ten.

It's very stable and we have not experienced any issues.

We are running into performance issues on the database side right now. We have MicroStrategy issues. We upped to the named user licenses, no issues. Then we introduced some new things to the environment, which is causing, again, database issues.

From a stability standpoint, from MicroStrategy, I would say it's fairly consistent. I would give it a "B" because there are times where we have issues that are just inexplicable. They go away and then we have no resolution. To me, that's not acceptable. There are just times where our users can't access things and we're not sure why, and that's a problem to me. 

We had some failures on data load, whether this is a component of MicroStrategy or how our service is configured, I'm not sure. We just had some issues keeping our data loads running from an Enterprise Manager perspective, but from the production Intelligent Server, stability is fantastic. We've really not had many issues.

I have been involved with implementing MicroStrategy Solution for over 12 years and I have worked with other BI solution providers (IBM Cognos, SAP BusinessObjects, SAS BI) while contracting for the government. In my experience, MicroStrategy have had the greatest uptime percentile when it comes to stability compared to the rest of the tools. I've seen great improvement in stability, especially in versions 9 and 10. It is a stable tool when it’s deployed and configured as recommended.

I occasionally encountered stability issues. If the metadata becomes extremely large, I have seen instances in which there are internal inconsistency errors. By this, I mean that it’s not that the system suddenly returns incorrect data but rather the internal definition of an object (could be any object: metric, filter, fact, report, hierarchy, etc.) becomes ‘corrupt’. MicroStrategy provides an easy-to-use tool, ScanMD, that finds and fixes these issues should they occur.

The inconsistency is due to the way the MicroStrategy metadata is structured. It is a relational database with many tables. These tables have foreign keys to the other metadata tables. For example, an Object table and a Where Used table. Sometimes the deletion of an object or an update in an object might not be cleanly expressed throughout the metadata database and the relational integrity is broken for that object, throwing an error message when the object is used.

I encountered minor stability issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

While the core feature (Intelligence Server) does encounter stability issues on rare occasions, it's still a very stable product.

We encounter fewer stability issues now (version 10.3 hf2); before that, there were pretty serious issues.

Stability is very good. From stability, from usability, from adoptability for the end user. They're quickly adapting the new MicroStrategy features, functionalities. It's seamless for our users. It's a seamless integration.

The solution offers very good stability. We find it to be reliable. there aren't bug or glitches. There isn't freezing. It doesn't crash.

Great!

In early phases of the 10th release, there were some issues, especially on several OS types like Windows, but then it stopped. It has been resolved, especially the issues with the intelligence errors were kind of serious, but it turned out that after some time we received a patch which worked. It is definitely better than it used to be. 

Their on-premise solution is very robust. 

However, we have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers.

It has performed fine. There have been instances where we wish it could have perform better. My suspicion is a lack of expertise on our end. We probably need some consulting help. We have not had time to go out and try to acquire it, but performance is fine for right now.

It is a very stable solution. However, the tool could have easier optimization. We are used to creating cubes, but if the query is too large, our administrators in the databases abort the query. That is why we need to be able to optimize and have a good response time.

It is most probably stable because I did not face any problems with it. I had very limited experience with it, and I did not face any issues.

Stability is great. We have not had any issues.

Throughout the set up of some large data sets that we use, we have had to learn more about how to use MicroStrategy in the right way. At the beginning, there were things that we set up a certain way, and it might not have been the best way from a speed perspective. We have had to go back and adjust things accordingly, but so far the changes that we have made have gotten us to a place where we are comfortable with the speed and usability. 

We have not encountered any stability issues.

Until version 10.2, the environment was quite stable. After that, MicroStrategy started releasing new versions on a quarterly basis. This means that more upgrades need to be done on the production environment. This makes the system a little unstable.

No issues with stability.

It is pretty good. We have not had any issues so far.

The current version that I am using is stable but it lacks some features. Also, version 10.x has some stability issues.

The product is stable. However, performance issues could be encountered if the server architecture is not set up appropriately based on usage and requirements.

No

The stability of MicroStrategy is good.

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.

It is stable. I have worked on three different BI tools. I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability.

We have not had stability issues, but we are a small group and we do not use the mobile functionalities.

We have encountered minimal stability issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues. We have four servers with DR capability.

I have not encountered any stability issues; it is very stable.

It is very stable.

I haven't come across any bugs, but as I mentioned, I am not using it one hundred percent at the moment.

No stability issues so far.

It's pretty stable, and if something is wrong then we are also able to find out why, so that's also good. There's extensive logging capabilities, so we quite often able to manage on this front.

I have never had problems with the stability.

We encountered a few stability issues in the early 10.0 and 10.1 versions. Since 10.3 was released about 6-8 months ago, it has been stable.

version 10.4 was the first "platform version" and is more stable , while creating complex dashboards in 10.3 you might encounter various UI bugs , for most there are simple workarounds though.

9.4.1 HF9 has been quite stable; 10.0-10.1 was somewhat unstable but 10.2 delivered a very stable environment for us. We’re moving to 10.4 soon as that is the MicroStrategy “platform” release, where they will be issuing multiple hot fixes and will remain the core until they create a major new/next release.

I have encountered stability issues: unstable Architect mappings, IS crashes without diagnostics, and so on.

If you have a skilled individual to make sure all the settings are correct, it is stable. Once the setup is configured correctly, it's a very stable system.

The stability is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't seem to crash or freeze. Its performance is good overall. It's a reliable product.

It is stable.

Overall, we were really happy with it. As far as an enterprise solution goes, it was very stable. It was very mature and had many robust features, as far as building applications and alerting, et cetera. The thresholding just had a very robust feature set, which is what we liked about it.

We didn't really deal with bugs and glitches. It didn't crash and freeze. It was very reliable for many years.

We have encountered stability issues with regards to Metadata db being crashed and need to reload the Project and configure it to various Project repositories

I have not encountered issues with stability. 

It's one of the most stable platforms I've ever worked on. I've never had it fall on me, never.

Stability is good.

I have not encountered any stability issues so far.

I have not largely encountered any stability issues, but upgrades at times have been little shaky.

With every version, they will introduce some new tools/feature and it’ll take them a few versions or hotfixes to stabilize that new feature. There are different modes of running dashboards – presentation, Flash, interactive – and not all features work in all of the different modes.

Stability depends on the particular environment we are in; such issues can be resolved by getting help from MicroStrategy Support.

Cube publish time exponentially increases with MicroStrategy Cube size. Also, it has been observed that the Cube data gets unloaded from MicroStrategy's Cube cache resulting in reports and dashboards being impacted, having no data when executed.

Stability is good. It is really stable. We rarely have issues with MicroStrategy going down. 

We have not encountered any stability issues.

MicroStrategy is running very stable but demands solid hardware.

We did not encounter any issues with stability.

In the long history of this product, version 7.2.3 is the most stable. Next to that, it is 9.4.1.

No. I have been using the software both on Windows and on headless Linux, and had no stability issues fo far. Memory availability is very important, as in any other data intensive software.

You should ask me this question when we get to version 10.10.

We have had downtime with the current version but I wouldn't put that on MicroStrategy. Maybe it's MicroStrategy's fault, but I wouldn't it put it that way.

I actually enjoy MicroStrategy a lot. When it came to Arcadia Data, it was sort of dead in the water, a Lazarus project. It kind of came up from the dead. Mostly because people did not understand the tool. My grandfather always had a saying that you got to know the tool before you can use the tool. That is what we did. My colleague and I took MicroStrategy, and said, "What does it do, what is it?" 

We just started building simple reports from scratch and went from there. Now, that we understand it, people are like, "Oh, okay. I get it. It's not that bad, it's actually great."

I am a fan of MicroStrategy and other tools, but I think MicroStrategy is a great tool. It does really well for what it serves.

It is a very stable solution, meaning the application is very good. MicroStrategy works very well.

Not many issues were encountered in terms of stability; there were only a few defects which were resolved in later releases.

We have not had stability issues.

We have not encountered any stability issues. Only a few outages that have always been resolved quickly.

We have not had stability problems.

We occasionally had stability issues.

The tool is stable and scalable. We are testing each upgrade and even if some issues appear, hey are not show stoppers and our existing solutions are not afected.

We haven't really had issues with stability. 

Well, in the old days, say a few years ago, upgrades only came out once every year and they were more stable. But MicroStrategy has moved to a quarterly release, so they've got a lot more new features in there, which means there's an opportunity for bugs to slip through. So, occasionally, the Mobile Server does crash, but it instantly recovers and users typically don't even notice it. 

If the disconnect happens when they're on a screen, at least their data is there, and because there are local device caches holding the data, there's a certain offline capability that is just built-in naturally, so you don't need a connection all the time. By the time the Mobile Server comes back, they didn't even notice. Typically, downtimes are very limited.

It is stable.

I have been using MicroStrategy for a long time, so I know how stable it is. It depends on how you structure it and how you architecture it. Once you are done with the basics, it is pretty stable

We have not had stability issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

No

Stability is pretty good. We have been using it for four years. We might have had some downtime, but it's pretty easy to bring it up.

No issues.

Developer, iServer, Webserver all are very stable.

Some versions have memory leakage or cube index issues, but overall very stable software.

We have had no stability issues.

I did not have any issues with stability.

There are no issues with the stability of the product. It works well even with huge datasets and under heavy workloads.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It is very stable. We do not have any issues. 

It is very stable. The only problem, I feel, is the connectivity - that has hiccups. Other than that, it's good.

Stability is great, especially with package deployments. It is very consistent and stable.

If there was a server down, we are not allowed to use it offline. Therefore, if there is a server down, then it’s down.

We've experienced no issues with performance. However, the larger amount of number of selectors, filters etc. you have, the longer it will take to display an analysis.

I only encountered stability issues when using the enterprise manager.

The only issue that I can think of, is that from time to time my web server stops and I have to restart the web server. I do not know why this happens, but we’ve created a process that every minute there are checks the status of the web server, and restarts it if necessary. It may be a problem with the tool or a problem with the infrastructure at the client's company.

Update: Turns out, the client infrastructure may be blocking the Web Server from running all the time. Comparing the installation done in a Virtual Machine and another one in another client, they haven't got any type of web server related problems and the first one has, which makes me think its a infrastructure configuration that from time to time, blocks the service.

The servers fall quite easily.

I think it's rather stable now, compared to where I come from. Earlier versions of MicroStrategy weren't so stable. Around v7's, they weren't as stable as they are now.

It is reliable.

I did not encounter any stability issues. There were just some minor bugs that were fixed by the manufacturer in their regular patches.

There was no issue with the stability.

Enterprise is very stable. I've been with MicroStrategy from more than 12 years. The performance and the stability has been increasing. It is the best solution for enterprise BI platform.

We have only encountered minor issues from time to time.

It's pretty stable.

Not at all. MicroStrategy is known for its enterprise ready platform. 

The stability is great.

We did encounter stability issues. We had a serious metadata corruption problem.

Schema development stability issues.

Browser compatibility.

None as of now.
