We performed a comparison between Board and MicroStrategy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"Our data is now more structured. Between our data warehouse and BOARD, which are both brand new, we now have a more structured data view with more accurate, timely data."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"We have better reporting and have been able to better track performance."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"MicroStrategy's solution for mobile is very good."
"It is very stable."
"The data governance leads people to trust the data that they have, and they know where to get it."
"The whole repository side of things is beneficial because you develop it once, and you can use it anywhere, in the Enterprise grade."
"The hyperintelligence is the most valuable feature."
"I have had a lot of projects where we had a lot of users, like thousands of users, and the data was in one report which could bring in six million records. MicroStrategy is doing a good job on scalability."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"Our primary use case is to deliver all data insights to our company."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"The learning curve is quite steep."
"With Cube partition (v10.1 and above) scalability has not been an issue, but the Cube publish time, and temporary space consumption while the Cube is being published, has almost doubled during implementation of Cube partition."
"The solution lacks good visualization. They should work on the user interface to make it more slick and modern."
"There is room for improvement on the graphs."
"They should provide more tutorials and include some project files."
"Scalability is something which will need to be improved when it goes to a bigger audience."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"They should give proper industry-based tutorials so that one can learn it easily and implement it based on the requirements. They should give more MMP files so that we can import a whole project altogether and learn from that project."
