A robust solution for large-scale BI projects

  • June 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- High scalability
- Very stable
- Excellent reporting capabilities
- Very good mobile BI (on apple products)
- Good data exploration tools for power users
What do you dislike about the product?
- Complex deployment and development
- Evolving slowly
- High migration costs compared to the gains
- Web interface is a mix of (very) old and brand new, with little coherence
- The complexity of the tool make it unsuitable for the general audience, the target audience is the data analyst
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Microstrategy shines when it comes to reliably deliver basic reporting to large amounts of users.
Native iOS apps (that can be rebranded to your company's colors) make it an excellent mobile BI solution.
A team of 4 people can deliver mobile dashboards to 2500+ users.
The data discovery tool available in web allows to deliver self-service BI for power users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Microstrategy is a complete BI solution for people with BI needs that are high, diverse, and relatively stable.
It allows a small-scale team to address most of the BI needs of a large company.
Because of its high set-up cost (both technically and financially), it is not well suited for small-scale projects, or companies with fast-changing needs.

I am a BIG fan of MicroStrategy as a BI Solution

  • June 21, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am mostly a fan of the Visual Insight aspect to the product, and the ability to connect to my end users directly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have more of a touch-point with the Vendor directly as a business owner of the product within my organization. I feel like I have to jump through hoops sometimes to make connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems as a BI Solution to remove the logic of ad-hoc user access to a data source.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look to the Visual Insight aspect to the product and data visualization before making a decision!

Dynamic and Powerful Tool

  • June 21, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The robustness of the infrastructure. The ability to connect to multiple data sources and combine the data on the fly. Data distribution is very easy with a lot of control on the personalization of the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The development time that it takes to build something is too long. Also, integrating Visual Insight report with existing IS Server report is not 100% stable and not always works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With MicroStrategy as an enterprise reporting tool, we support many different business areas. Finance, Treasury, Accounting, Member Service, Transaction Processing, Analytics and Reporting team.
Currently we are implementing MS Dynamics CRM and its reporting capabilities are very limited. We are relying on MicroStrategy to report against CRM replicated database to support the lead management system and fitness scheduling applications in CRM online.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a tool that gives you a lot of control with the reporting data allowing to manipulate it in many different ways easily. Lots of features for end users including subscriptions to different targets. Personalization is very complete. The architecture is very robust to support large volumes of data.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of overhead (too many appserver and webserver components)

Quantifying sales and supply chain. Also creating read/write mobile apps that operationalize some processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to use the Desktop tool and roll it out to your users to help prototype Enterprise Dashboards.
