Good product

I am very impressed with the self service feature of MicroStrategy. In addition the ability to handle VLDB is unbeatable

The GUI in Developer is not very user friendly. Apart from that MicroStrategy needs to improve the quality of the product. My team has logged atleast 5-10 issues every month on average.

We are providing crucial predictive analytics using MicroStrategy in Insurance business. This has helped us keep a competitive edge in the market

Must try especially with Large Databases, Self service and Visual Insight. Also support for D3 and Mobile

Simple interface but complex function behind the scene. MicroStrategy does complex analytical functions with very optimized methods. It is growing every year and becoming more user friendly.

Less control on SQL manipulation. One has to know detail architecture to generate a desired complex report. At time the analytical engine take more time than anticipated with causes performance issue.

Microstrategy is interactive and intuitive, but has its flaws
What do you like best about the product?
I believe their back-end meta data management system has a strong upside and their VI is very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the bugs I got when running the software and tech support's lack of help on solving the issues. You can send them a detailed step by step outline on how to recreate an error. They still email you back and say try it again or how did you get this error? It was essentially futile to email them and expect support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to replace an in-house BI platform with a new BI partner. I have realized that there is not any single player in the market who can deliver what we want, which is disappointing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it on-site and do a Proof-of-concept to make sure that everything will work as expected not as the sales team describes. If you ask them it will make you breakfast and bring you coffee.

Changing APIs, outdated interface, poor quality mapping unless using 3rd party software like visual crossing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Web deployed BI with rich geo spatial analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't need some of the traditional strengths of MSTR such as high user scalablity, back end data scalability, use other tools such as Tableau or SAP Lumira.
MSTR's true power comes from a true data model based approaching where the structured data can play.
Don't over customize. They will break API compatibility and it will make upgrade difficult.

It's difficult to get technicial support for the Linux version of the MicroStrategy server. It seems that most customers use the Windows version, and I need to get escalated to second level support before I can get answers to our questions.
