Tool that does way more than you would ever think to do
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many different interfaces that let users of different skill levels and technical abilities acces the platform. The education resources available are immense and have been really helpful in self-teaching.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is incredibly vast, and as a small organization, it has been difficult for us to keep pace with updates and changes. The community forums are also a little clunky and the posts are often pretty outdated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've set up a point of truth for reporting company wide. CRM, finance and other source systems all feed into Microstrategy which allows us to report company-wide in a manner with consistent data and formatting.
Great, but Dossiers need improvements
What do you like best about the product?
It is a solid tool that has a great open architecure. They have made great strides in the upgrades. It is a very modern tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dossiers need more functionality to bring it in line with the Document tool and other competitors like Tableau. Hyperintelligence seems kinda gimmicky, but has a cool potential if there were more visualization options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MicroStrategy for all of reporting across all business units.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Attend the jumpstart class to really understand how the product works
Learn a lot and share with others

I really liked the classes. There was a lot of people that knew what they were talking about. The venue is pretty awesome, and I"m looking forward to the party. There is just a lot of good content to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some instructors that don't seem super interested in what they are presenting about.
I would really like to see more of actaul how to do things.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The things that are being solved with Microstrategy are the ability to look into our companies data and get direction off of it. It creates a central location for people to build reports and dossiers and what not, that then can be used in the field through their logins. What we on our team have been able to do is create dossiers to monitor how analysts in our company are using Microstrategy through the Platform Analytics. This can be used my managers to see what analysts are building, and can be used by us to be able to see how the system is preforming and if its not preforming well then we can adjust things and kill jobs if we need to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There will be some learning curve that is for sure. There are a lot of people out there that use Tableua and they might have a hard time converting over. Just have patience with it and move forward.
10-year MicroStrategy User
What do you like best about the product?
I love the innovation the company shows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dossier still not caught up to Tableau (but getting closer!), makes it hard to sell to some of our users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise-level all in one solution for reporting needs. Right now much of our legacy reports are on MSTR which is critical. We are trying to turn the boat to allow for users to go TO their data instead of receiving it in emails and just consuming it.

MicroStrategy is great for data analytics!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the updates that 2019 brought... especially dossiers! It allows users to view all the necessary data immediately. Then you can drill down into the data to analyze trends.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a developer. While the user interface is awesome, the developer side is a little convoluted. It would be nice if they simplified the developer interface and made it more modern. The developer interface reminds me of Windows 95.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My business uses MicroStrategy across several sectors. We use it to analyze data, run reports across the business, and make running the factory more efficient.
