Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It definitely impacts people, who are excited to use it."
"We leverage it, not only for reporting but for analytics and also for geospatial reporting."
"It has had a direct impact on bottomline improvements."
"The most valuable features are the Visual Insights and the visualizations."
"The implementation was fairly straightforward."
"I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability.​"
"It was easy to install and implement a report with it."
"It is very stable."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab."
 

Cons

"I know we are not competing against Tableau, but MicroStrategy needs to step up its game on the GUI side.​"
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"We would like access to more storage and access to more metadata to build the right programs that can construct all the stuff for us instead of us having to type it in all the time."
"We would really like to see MicroStrategy have some support teams based more in Europe, because for now it seems that there is one person for the whole CE region. That is not exactly what we would like to see. We do know that MicroStrategy supports most places, either in the US or India, but those are different time zones, people, and cultures."
"There needs to be better visualization."
"The solution has a very non-logical user usage part. It has a library mode where users can access all the data, reports, and dashboards, but they also can be accessed from a platform. They have to log into the platform. The user experience is confusing for the users. MicroStrategy needs to define which one they will use. Some functionality isn’t available in library mode but is available in the portal. There should be Office integration. For example, if I do a presentation, then I should be able to add a chart to my presentation."
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
"I would like to see a single standalone application to control everything from the administration perspective, and also to develop new applications."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​"
"​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license with packages, and there are additional costs for extra components."
"​They gave us a good deal.​"
"All BI software vendors' list prices are high. It's about a price that fits the customer's needs. And I think MicroStrategy has some flexibility in its pricing model where we can easily demonstrate a total cost of ownership comparison against any of the other players."
"While initial cost of MicroStrategy is still on the higher side, the long-term benefits brings down overall cost of ownership significantly as compared to other tools like Tableau/Cognos."
"Pricing, in general, is high. With Power BI, you get mobile with the license, whereas with MicroStrategy, you have to purchase mobile for extra."
"They offer yearly as well as perpetual licenses."
"We are waiting to switch to Microsoft Power BI because MicroStrategy is too costly."
"Additional costs are associated with maintenance."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau.
