MicroStrategy Provides Powerful Analysis

  • December 06, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Licensing cost. Upfront costs can be expensive, however, upgrades are included in the yearly maintenance fee, which is something not all software companies provide.

Microstrategy is one of the most sophisticated but easy to use reporting tools that I have used so f

  • December 05, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's ability to subscribe reports and send them to various people automatically. One report but several views/pivots.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use Web version of Microstrategy. I really like to have desktop version.

Not very many people are familiar with Microstrategy. So, I feel it is very much under-utilised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My organisation uses Microstrategy for BI and Finance reporting-linking to ERP system. I look at only the Finance reporting part of it.

Speed is one of the main aspect in my organisation. This is achieved by using some reporting views at low level and complicated reports are being created using cubes.
