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.
Powerful reporting tool for medium size corporation

The thing I do not like is that there is little training offered to new users. Although the interface is generally easy, there are some areas that may not be intuitive.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of options on data visualization features and integration with Geographical Information Systems (such as Google maps or Bing maps). I've heard that Micro Strategy 10 addresses these shortcomings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Micro Strategy tools across various business verticals in our enterprise. This range from senior executive reporting (through dash board reporting ) to supporting revenue and product sales forecasting processes. We also use micro Strategy to finalize payouts by tracking sales at an agent level through organizational hierarchy. Micro Strategy's ability to reporting on large volume of data (millions of record) enables us to study market trend by assessing various factors of our business growth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've worked on several BI reporting platforms. Of all Micro Strategy is the best in terms of performance
Micro Strategy VI is also a good Web-based tool for providing self-service visualization creation capabilities to business users. It is probably best in the market,

Quick and high on impact !
Very quick, cost effective, scalable on size & AWS functionality such as integration with other AWS packs like Amazon Hadoop EMR etc. An outstanding product !
Excellent - Simple to use and quick to launch
Wanted MSTR instance quickly to have a POC developed. In few hours we were up and running and could even have few developers get access to the instance.
Very easy to get started, wish it cost less.
MicroStrategy package is 5 star
AWS is 3 star for cost, needs to be less expensive.
AWS is 5 start for convenience. Easy setup and insanely quick time to get started when compared with traditional in-house corporate provisioning of a server.
