Ease of development, good visualization, and good reporting help us to get more out of our data
The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy. For example, we can treat URLs as objects, which is very easy to use for end-users, business analysists, or other professionals. Anyone can find it very easy to develop. The number and type of different settings that can be used for optimizing pulled data are valuable. For example, if a report is taking a lot of time to retrieve data from the database, there are settings in MicroStrategy that we can change to help. As a BI tool, it is helpful in finding different templates for the users and using the same standard operating procedures on how to operate different pulls and micro strategies.

Offers reliability through features associated with RBAC
Upgrading and making changes to the product is very difficult. It is difficult when you are upgrading the product because sometimes you cannot directly upgrade from one version to another version. You have to go to the lower version and then upgrade to the higher version, which is the biggest drawback of Oracle products. There are no additional features in the tool currently, and it has been the same for the last ten years. I want to see AI features in the tool so it becomes easy for implementers. There should be a change in the installation and deployment part, which is very heavy, due to which the team requires a lot of time, like two to three weeks. It should be easy to implement the tool in two or three days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good analysis features to make sure there's good sizing (so that it's not too big or too small) and allows room for growth if a company needs it."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The self-service and the dossier components as well as the hyper intelligence."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"The most important features that have impacted our environment recently are the Single Sign-On solution, role based provisioning, and the automated provisioning of accounts to target systems."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"The solution's capabilities in provisioning, de-provisioning, terminations, and transfers are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."
"Its most valuable feature is its scalability."
 

Cons

"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"Right now, we have to apply many workarounds for the solution to do what we need it to do. There are a lot of bugs."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"The documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"In the dossier section, they have something called documents, which is very good, but they are implementing something called dossiers also. If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great. The formatting options are limited is dossiers. In terms of formatting and making the reports more presentable, it's lagging a little bit behind."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"You need full visibility because the suite of features are complex and you have to be clear on what you want to implement."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is that it isn't refreshed or updated as much. The only area that changed on it in the last five years was the GUI. The solution still has the same installation, troubleshooting, and configuration. Oracle Identity Governance is still very complicated when compared to other solutions. It seems that Oracle doesn't focus too much on Oracle Identity Governance in terms of making some improvements to it."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"They need to improve their backup strategy."
