Program requires quite a bit of training and practice to effectively utilize it to it's fullest potential.

Awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is consistent with delivering data in a timely manner.

Sales Team
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy and simple to use. It also compiles a lot of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes really slow to load in data and it freezes a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulling in Gross/Net Revenue. Release dates of titles
Ease of use meets a shared collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
MicroStrategy is easy to use and best of all, remains consistent over multiple platforms. It is very easy to have my reps run the same reports on their own MicroStrategy pages and for us to share our reports through our MicroStrategy portals.
What do you dislike about the product?
While running reports, there are a several ways in which the filters could be altered in order to run more accurate and specific reports. It's a bit of a pain sometimes to only be able to do one month at a time under specific constraints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MicroStrategy allows our business to compare our sales and revenue trends throughout the months and seasons. It has allowed us to realize our company's trends and better plan for the amount of product we need to order as it varies greatly throughout the seasons. We have also been able to gauge the effectiveness of our large-scale promotional events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that it is very a helpful tool and, while there are a couple of things that could be improved, overall it is extremely beneficial to be able to share reports with ease between our importers and distributors.
Sales Rep's Best Friend
What do you like best about the product?
Microstrategy is fairly easy to use and helped me to easily understand my numbers when I became a sales rep at The Sherwin Williams Company. It was downloaded on all of our rep phones and I got into the habit of opening it up first thing in the morning to see how I did the day before. It also helped me to breakdown and analyze customers during preparation for sales so that I could prepare my sales plan in a more efficient manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I picked up the basics very quickly, there is SO much in Microstrategy that it does present a fairly significant learning curve. I do not think I was even taking advantage of 50% of what was offered. There was no training provided to me and I think that would've helped me to really take advantage of all the benefits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really was my #1 tool as a sales rep. It helped me be more efficient and manage my time better. Before promotions I used microstrategy to breakdown who was buying what, where my sales where coming from, who I needed to spend more time on... I was able to analyze every detail via reports and planned accordingly for each upcoming promotion.
Loving It
What do you like best about the product?
Great tracks. The presentations so far have been well worth the journey.
What do you dislike about the product?
seems smaller this year. Could go for an xtended look into apps and more focus on security
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL is a mess. Would love it if you had some open source partners in that realm next year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It won't fix legacy data issues for you. It's not a magic solution. Fix your ERP system and clean up your master data first.
