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.

Structured operations and analytics have transformed how my teams manage customers and sales

I see room for improvement regarding financial operations and FinOps. If they are not being controlled correctly, Salesforce billings can get huge. They charge for everything: license costs, storage costs, and transaction costs, and it can really end up blowing budgets if it is not controlled. Those controls should be something that is easy to manage. With Salesforce, it is pretty difficult to manage unless you are a very advanced user. Normal regular users may not be able to keep the costs in control. This ends up resulting in bill shocks where you suddenly receive a bill which you may not be expecting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."

"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."

"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, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."

"The dashboard is user-friendly."

"The self-service and the dossier components as well as the hyper intelligence."

"The mobile identity features are great."

"The user experience was great because it had all the features that the client needed. It was fully customized for the client, and it was very simple. It was the best solution at that time."

"Salesforce Identity is a very user-friendly solution."

"The solution is very easy to understand."

"The best features of Salesforce Platform that I appreciate are that it is very configurable and easy for both developers as well as customers to use."

"The most valuable features are the pipeline management, being able to track the pipeline anytime, and the ability to get in touch with our high management team or board members."

"The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Scaling this solution can be difficult."

"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."

"The documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."

"The interface should be simplified and the dashboard has a lot of options but could be improved."

"The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms."

"The product is slow."

"Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person."

"Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I'd recommend Salesforce for larger products where you really need a robust CRM. It's expensive, so for smaller websites or products, it might not be the most cost-effective solution."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a very low price and ten is a very high price, I rate Salesforce Identity's pricing a six out of ten."
