Provides strong data visualization and security while easing deployment across multiple sectors

The most effective features of MicroStrategy for data analysis in my experience are the security, the metadata management, and the administration, along with the options of different workarounds available to accommodate different types of requirements. MicroStrategy's data visualization capabilities are great, and I would rate them nine out of 10.

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.

* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is a very good enterprise tool with excellent enterprise functionality for security and user access. It also works perfectly in distribution, with everyone getting their own reports. It is very complex, so you can do whatever you want. If you want to make some data limitations, you can do it. I also like the internal in-memory engine with the Symantec layer. This makes the solution pretty powerful."

"I really like the visualizations; I like how you can put large data sets in there, then the user can quickly go through the data and drill down at various levels to understand things."

"MicroStrategy is now the de facto tool within the organization, it's the go-to BI tool in the organization."

"For our high volume (both data and users), MicroStrategy continues to be the backbone of these SaaS solutions."

"Provides seamless integration between browser-based BI and Mobile BI."

"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."

"It has greatly benefited our organization."

"We use MicroStrategy as an integrated solution with some of their other CRM type applications."

More MicroStrategy pros

"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."

Cons

"The analytic speed would probably be what I would look for in terms of improvement because we have super huge data, and if I do not build views on top of data, then reports render really slowly."

"Lacks a thriving community"

"They should provide more tutorials and include some project files."

"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."

"Data preparation-wise, it was not so straightforward with respect to getting different sources. Preparing or transforming the data inside and then bringing it onto the dashboard was a bit difficult, and the experience could have been better."

"I think they're still lacking on customer service. I think historically, MicroStrategy's customer service was a lot better than it is today."

"When we come to them with a problem, they might know more of a generalized solution, but not one targeted to our industry."

"I rate technical support 1.5/5 because they hardly ever help you with problems and when they do it's very late."

More MicroStrategy cons

"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s licensing cost is expensive."

"I am unsure what the licensing costs are for this solution however, development costs are around $100,000 per year."

"There is no subscription, I am using the free version."

"The price of MicroStrategy is reasonable."

"It is expensive. We would like to extend it to many users, but we are currently restricting that because the cost is a constraint. If we are given a chance, we would love to expand it."

"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."

"Now, the price is high."

"They made a change in the licensing module some time ago and we can now use all the enterprise tools for free."
