Easy BI

  • December 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of architecting new data into the overall BI solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity of Web Designer when creating and linking dashboard pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have 32 offices across the country. We use MicroStrategy to consolidate data across those offices to form an Enterprise view of the information while still allowing individual offices to build custom analytics on their individual offices. Self-service reporting and scheduling of standard reports have cut down on support requirements from the satellite offices.

Great all around toolset

  • December 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that power users can go to the moon if they are comfortable enough with the tool. Some of them came up with pretty sick apps build from MSY.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of transparency. An example is that they don't publicise the issues with a specific version until they find a solution, generally on a future version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All kinds of situations. From the operational reports to the predictive analytics. The main benefit we get is that non IT users can actually provide tools and analytics to other users themselves.

What do you like best about the product?
I am very impressed with the self service feature of MicroStrategy. In addition the ability to handle VLDB is unbeatable

We are providing crucial predictive analytics using MicroStrategy in Insurance business. This has helped us keep a competitive edge in the market
Recommendations to others considering the product:

It has been a great experience working on MicroStrategy

  • December 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Self Service BI
Key Strategy decisions
Operational dashboards are helping identify the gap

Microstrategy is interactive and intuitive, but has its flaws

  • December 01, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

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.
