A complete enterprise BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
MicroStrategy backend is a warhorse.
The SQL engine (the component that generates the SQL code for reports) is very smart and has a lot of setting to adapt to your database to improve performances.
Security is strong and flexible, user can have access to different reports/dashboards or to the same object but allowed to see only part of the data.
The plugin architecture allows to add new functionality or to integrate MicroStrategy with your environment.

What do you dislike about the product?
In the last version they improved the front-end for data exploration, but they are still behind Tableau. Much nicer than other tools.
Sometimes you can find annoying bugs that you wonder how they didn't catch before (the new quarterly release programs should help here).
The tool added a lot of functionality in the last few years, but how to use/implement them it's a bit complicated, the added new functionality but the had to build them on top of the old interface.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building dashboards and reports for users from C levels to the new accountant. The new Dashboard capability is much more customizable and it looks awesome.
Prototyping from a simple db query is very quick and it helps a lot.
The MicroStrategy capability to be db agnostic allows us to use different databases, we are now exploring the hadoop space with MicroStrategy.

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.
