"MicroStrategy is not cloud native today and some of their APIs are a little limiting."
"MicroStrategy should improve migration automation. Additionally, I would like there to be better partnership support."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"We did have issues with stability, and that was because we were co-located with another business unit, and we outgrew them on the unit. So we had to get to a separate physical instance."
"There are a lot of offerings, and we are not fully using everything to its advantage."
"They need to improve on having more professional, well-equipped premium support."
"Something I would be interested in is more visualizations, because right now we use SDK to create some. If there were more out-of-the-box options, we would be happy with that."
"I find I prefer Oracle OAC over OBIEE. It's more advanced, has artificial intelligence, and there's more that we can do with it in general. OBIEE is lacking features."
"Managing the OB applications requires a high level of experience, and makes the solution quite heavy."
"The performance could be better."
"Warehouse and business intelligence are two different things, but OBIEE also has some warehouse features in it. I would like to see some of those capabilities improved."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"It should have more self-service capabilities."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"When we implemented BusinessObjects, the setup was straightforward. After SAP bought BusinessObjects, it gradually became more and more stepwise. There are too many steps, and they take too much time."
"It needs to be more flexible for the end-user."
"Most of the Apps right now are into dashboarding. This tool, for the Crystal Reports in the phase I'm primarily working on, does not have those dashboarding capabilities, like in the other advanced tools like Power BI or ClickView, and compared to them the dashboard generation is not that great."
"We would like to see a native version of BusinessObjects and Web Intelligence created for the cloud."
"The interface could be slicker and more user-friendly."
"Tableau was easier for me to use because the interface is more similar to Excel which I was used to using."
"This product could be improved with Cloud Integrations and Predictive Analytics functions integration."
"The combination of Lumira along with Design Studio merger last year still needs development from a visualization standpoint."
