MicroStrategy Provides Powerful Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly put together a project that allows users to have great insight to their data in order to make improved decisions. It supports many data sources and can handle complex analysis. I like that the applications can be customized to user type - from casual user that just needs basic information to an advanced analyst that wants to build their own reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like most everything - I think there remains improvement that could be done in the area of data visualization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used MicroStrategy to solve problems in many industries including Retail, Telecommunications and CPG. Currently I'm working on applications that provide trends of sales and inventory and also calculate shrink. Profit improvement is realized by helping retailers reduce shrink on products that have a short shelf life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a trial and I think you'll see that it can meet or exceed your expectations.

The ease of use, enterprise scalability and flexibility to adapt with various databases/lakes is what catches a practice head like me. The solution sold well mainly because of ease of getting started
What do you dislike about the product?
The development part of Microstrategy could be a little more business user friendly. The validation parts also need some tune up so non technical users can use them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve multiple business problems- real time alerts, executive reporting, analytical insight dashboards etc., benefits have mostly been in terms of time to deliver
Good product overall, if you know what you're doing.
What do you like best about the product?
Robust SQL engine, numerous types of connections to several data sources, relatively easy integration of multiple data sources in single dashboard. Enterprise product enables us to pick and choose the components we need, and we're able to meet most reporting problems with the wide-variety of tools within platform. Cloud services also helps us spend less time on operational stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some disparity among different types of objects (reports, documents, dashboards) both in UI as well as feature set. Graphs look great in dashboards, but terrible in reports. Efficiently utilizing full array of features in platform requires a lot of education about what all the products do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a "single source of truth" data. Standardizing data governance across enterprise. Enabling users to be self-sufficient with self-service BI.
Terrible.
What do you like best about the product?
It looks pretty and used AJAX to interact instead of our old report center which used activex.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every update produced more bugs than it fixed. Would require entire reports to be re-worked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run a report center, so it works well with that.

Licensing is out of control. Worse than Cisco!

SQL Engine, ease of maintaining the objects
What do you dislike about the product?
may visualization tools like report, documents, VI. Some are good at something, other lack certain functionality.

We have reports from all aspects of our business.
