A stable solution that can be used for data discovery, but it should include more tutorials for new users
We use Kyvos for data discovery and drilling down to the exact data point The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data. Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of…

Reporting has improved with strong administration tools but performance and memory still need work
Compared to the new tools, MicroStrategy is still on the old mechanism, the attributes and metric creations that are still a bit vague compared to other tools. They can actually improve on the go, having derived metrics or derived attributes in MicroStrategy. If they have something like that for the attributes as well, it will be good. A pain point is MicroStrategy memory fluctuations that we couldn't actually read that much. If they can improve that performance, that would be great. MicroStrategy struggles a bit with large data volumes, but they are coming up with new ideas. They have moved to Intelligent Cubes, which can actually handle better data handling. They are coming up with good measures to handle big data.

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 features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
"MicroStrategy has a mobile component which helps our sales team track and showcase insights to stakeholders without any problems."
"The interactive features that appear in the report were good. The external rendering option they give with multi servers was also good."
"The stability and scalability are really cool; that's the beauty of MicroStrategy, and data-wise it beats all odds."
"The usability for users to be able to drag and drop, then create their own reports."
"MicroStrategy Mobile application is considered to be one of the best, for almost 4 or 5 years."
"With all the APIs it's very scalable."
"Dossiers are going to change the name of the game for us. We want to be able to have the executive committee go into a meeting and tell a story. We want them to tell us a story, not us."
"Key Sales and Operations figures receive periodic tailor made data pertaining their responsibilities and interests."
 

Cons

"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
"Transaction Services is a new field which allows users to have interaction with the databases. I am pretty sure MicroStrategy has improvements lined up in this section."
"This solution is missing enhanced features in the dashboards."
"The pricing could be lower because it is costly."
"However, this tool needs to improve to add more analytical functions, and an easy solution to use third-party graphs and maps."
"The product is not business-user friendly."
"The graphs available for the new dashboard of version 10 are weak."
"Sometimes trying to follow MSTR rules to get some formulas and data using MSTR techniques is harder (and less performant) than just prepare yet another DWH view collecting needed data and just model that new view in MSTR."
"I don't think that they will, but I'd like to see parallel processing, scalable parallel processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There have been actual direct bottomline impacts in terms of extra revenue created from the reporting solutions."
"The licensing is a bit high per user."
"The pricing for MicroStrategy is always on the higher side. They should seriously start thinking about their pricing and licensing strategy."
"The price of MicroStrategy is reasonable."
"The pricing list itself is not publicly accessible, so it's a bit opaque."
"​They gave us a good deal.​"
"We actually researched some of the other solutions. For options, price, and customer acceptance, this product has worked well for us.​"
"Pricing, in general, is high. With Power BI, you get mobile with the license, whereas with MicroStrategy, you have to purchase mobile for extra."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau.
