Seems like they are often times trying to cross another thing off the list to say their tool can do it than actually making sure everything else works well

MicroStrategy is our standard BI tool. We have over 20,000 users on it with over 300,000 reports and dashboards accessible across many different subject area's

Don't jump in thinking you can develop the most complicated dashboard right out of the gate. Start slow, learn how to build simple reports and projects and expand your ability as you become more comfortable with the tool.

Microstrategy is easy....how your company organizes the data may not be!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. There are multiple ways to do the same thing (navigation bar, starburst menu, or main screen). Easy to find existing reports if company organizes it well. User's don't have to worry about relationships between data sets if the admin sets up the system well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data may be hard to find but it greatly depends on how your company decides to organize it. Sometimes a little unstable (online version) but most issues are due to your company's server capabilities. Some reports take a VERY LONG time to run but once again, most of that due to how much data the system has in it PLUS the server capability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to easily run reports from data that is coming from various sources within the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is comparable to other Report Writers...Crystal Reports, Cognos Impromptu, etc. in that a user can easily create reports from data that is coming from various company wide applications and then either format and print OR export to Excel.
