MicroStrategy

I like the ability to manipulate data on how the report returns and can connect with different sources. This software makes their users feel the ease, because of its easy to use tools and features. I also liked the applications for desktop because it’s very easy to use and to learn.

The only things that I dislike in this software are as follows, dashboard needs to be simpler, and the mobile is limited, this software needs time and many clicks to complete the jobs. Aside from that issues I don’t encounter any major issues that will make me stop using this software.

Microstrategy offers flexibility with almost every aspect on the system. This software also gives an excellent report and provides a mobile applications for the people who always on the trip. With just a few development and improvements this software is going to be very competitive and powerful business intelligence software out there.

MicroStrategy is a business intelligence software as a service. It's available in a desktop download as well as an Enterprise level plan in the cloud online. I have been researching several BI softwares lately I though I could weigh in on the value offered by this company in comparison with some of those such as Chart.IO, Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlikview, MixPanel and Zoho Reports so far. I like the ability to connect so many different data sources. This is a common feature across the services mentioned above though most prominent in Chart.IO in my opinion. The scalability is good too this company has large businesses in mind. I like the ability to re-use metadata as well that's a cool feature I don't recall across all of the other platforms. The number of BI types available to display your data is good too with Office 365 tools, mobile adaptivity and responsiveness using their interface, OLAP reporting, operational reports, scorecards dashboards while you can have notifications setup to and become alerted when critical criteria have been met. The SDK capabilities are good you can integrate and extend and customize the functionality of the MicroStrategy a lot. There's a high level of security possible as well with object and data, app, authentication and authorization functions. The user dashboard is quite simple but there is a deceptive amount of functionality under the hood so to speak.

It's a very deep program with a significant learning curve to becoming proficient. As much as it is a do it yourself platform for analytics reporting in order to fully utilize the massive amount of potential you may likely have to hire an MSTR certified expert. It's great to have so much to utilize but prior to full implementation you would do well to have a thorough plan in mind based on their functionality. I would it is spend having spent good time with their resources, trials, documentation and an expert before implementation in order to have the most cost effective plan in place initially.

In the interest of transparency I have only experienced the MicroStrategy trials and spent good time with their documentation. And having had reviewed several others similar to this in many regards it's fair to weigh in and offer my opinion. The MicroStrategy solution is incredibly robust but it is certainly has a learning curve which must be taken in order to utilize it's full potential. The price is going to be reflective of your development and maintenance costs but scalability would be very good as this is an Enterprise class solution certainly. I simply question how much different several of these other business intelligence software tools are that are going to be more cost effective and provide the same functionality. I recently bumped into Microsoft Power BI and it's incredible for ten bucks per month. Much of the same capabilities as MicroStrategy for certain. And you do well with an paid expert to help develop, support and maintain your Microsoft Power BI account as well I don't think the implementation and deployment of analytics is going to be as costly going with this route. You can pretty much do anything with MixPanel as well which has an incredible free way to get started with full functionality so you can upgrade when you're ready but spend time to analyze your needs and implement it directly hands on within a day and not have to have a massive design and development time. The ability to reuse metrics, attributes and other metadata is perhaps the feature which differentiates MicroStrategy the most from others and can help you create reports a little faster, but in my opinion it's not the most user friendly, nor the most cost effective business intelligence tool available currently in the market.

Microstrategy has plenty of features and administrative tools which makes of it a powerf business intelligence software. It is one of the web based business reporting system. Microstrategy is easy to setup and to start using. Microstrategy is capable of doing business analysis. Microstrategy features advanced tools to be used by developers. Microstrategy has a web-based interface as well as a mobile native app.

Microstrategy is still in the stage of supporting HTML5 instead of Flash. Flash based platform is not the best and it is quite slow. Microstrategy lacks in documentation. The developer team from Microstrategy has to work further in adopting a dashboard fully running using HTML5. Those are all what I did not like about Microstrategy so far.

Microstrategy delivers a complete SDK for developers which permits to customize a BI solution. The customer service is excellent and the team is very responsive and knowledgeable. Microstrategy is priced reasonably comparing to competition. Microstrategy has strong competitors like GoodData and Logi Analytics. I would love to see new updates from Microstrategy soon.

This Microstrategy is basically the most efficient mobile BI platform on the market. It is business solutions on the go. This is a very robust platform with user friendly interface. The dashboards on the interface are simple. Offers users easy report creation. The software is said to offer end users a significant measure of adaptability in practically every part of the framework. The platform can enable users create excellent reports and as well as versatile applications.

The Microstrategy comes with limited rows and is a very deep program with a significant learning curve to enable any user becoming proficient. It is actually not the most user friendly BI platform on the software market nor is it the most cost effective business intelligence tool available. . Software training isn’t a piece of cake and businesses take it very seriously. There is a lack of synchronization between web and mobile reporting and I would like to see that changed

The MicroStrategy solution is incredibly robust and offers users the ability to reuse metrics, attributes and other metadata and I believe this is its most effective feature. It is highly effective a platform that there is no complicated code to write or query to get acquainted with but only just a click, drag and drop function. This platform also gives users a flexible deployment options, and by the way, it’s so efficient that it can as well be hosted on-site or in the cloud.

It has the best mobile BI on the market at this moment. LOE is very low for this type of development.It is robust and the performance is fantastic. The dashboards are simple. It provides easy report creation and design.MicroStrategy has the ability for the SQL generator to choose the right aggregate table, which is perfect for organizations with low database developer resources.

It has a steep learning curve. It is difficult to adapt to the platform and it is time-consuming.The Desktop could be a bit more intuitive.The biggest shortcoming is the training they offer, it is just plain terrible.I would like to see web and mobile reporting synced.If you want to make changes to metrics and attributes, you have to rely on MicroStrategy developers.

MicroStrategy puts BI in the hands of any user. There is no complicated code to write or query to understand - just a click or drag and drop. This platform also gives flexible deployment options, it can be hosted on-site or in the cloud.MicroStrategy is useful for someone who is manipulating data frequently. It is best suited for companies that have users with different skill sets. It is a versatile tool with many access levels depending on your experience. In my opinion, it isn't suited for companies looking for detailed and heavy financial reporting. On the other hand, it is suited for varying degrees of budgets. The price is fair for the features and functionality out of the box. But it is quite complicated, and you will have to have someone dedicated to MicroStrategy and the lifecycle of the business data model.
