Microstrategy is the best Business Intelligence solution in the market right now. Implementing was easy, and the UI is highly user-friendly.
I love that it is a brilliant tool equipped with many powerful tools and features for comprehensive reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My only dislike is that it can get sluggish when working with large sizes of data.
Also, the software could do with a bit of upgrading to look more modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very customisable, visualisation tool which is a great way to share insights across the Bank Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Outdated developer tool behind the web based tool. Too much of development work can only be done with an architect license Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate the comprehensive analysis that can be done using this system. It has some amazing functionalities that can help us gain insight into our business and where there is room for change/improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing so far! Great data visualization and ability to automate reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a platform that brings you business information and analysis through specialized global services and enables you to deliver unique intelligent applications. It has the ability to get different sources for different types of data and allows the user to make it more compact and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very difficult to work with a lot of technical knowledge to use this software effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s easy to user and can be presented to many users; we use it for enterprise deployment where tableau or power BI are not best practice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ITs expensive to install and huge setup cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has well-established hierarchies and structures that can ensure the integrity and consistency of various data types. It makes it easier to create reports. It allows integrating different graphs and histograms, maps, and diagrams into report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The initial configuration takes a bit longer to complete and places an enormous burden on a data server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MicroStrategy offers centralized administration, automation of administrative processes, and several key components that allows an admin to run commands, flows, schedule distributions, etc.
Also, the in memory capabilities are impressive since 10 onwards.
Finally, I really like the SDK they provide to do almost anything you can imagine.
Either for Admins, Analysts, Data Scientists, Reporters, end users, MicroStrategy offers a great deal of knowledge to gain by only using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not dislike as much as an expected impact: when you have a BI suite with so many capabilities, you need to bear in mind the whole ecosystem to avoid problems.
Also there is little documentation on SDK.
The recent change in knowledge base is awful. Also some microservices running in Java and 3rd party requirements for newer functionalities (MySQL, Apache Tomcat, MongoDB, etc.) are not the best options for Windows environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their centralized dashboards, real-time analytics, and user interface are amongst the best features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not very efficient when handling a large set of data, resulting in errors and redoing the whole thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to save templates that can be updated later without having to re-create them from scratch Filters and custom features make the widgets meaningful and have several widgets in the dashboard view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support team can increase efficiency and be ready to share documents after the problem is solved. The initial configuration takes more time and places a large burden on the data server. It does not have a unified interface and has two separate interfaces for many functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
