MicroStrategy for Business Analytics

  • December 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about MicroStrategy is its administration features, it provides administrators flexibility with a range of tools to provide excellent support to end-users, developers and architects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the limited capabilities of development on the default package of MicroStrategy Desktop Analytics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A few of the business problems are customer dashboard reports. Users from specific locations are having a hard time reviewing the monthly reports generated manually. Using MicroStrategy, we made dashboards which easily shows the spend and budget of specific countries and locations which improved the user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend the use of MicroStrategy for integrating several data file inputs from different systems. Secure data for BIG data and data warehousing. One of the best BI tools that I've used throughout my career.
