"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Good data transformation."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"MicroStrategy's solution for mobile is very good."
"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"With all the APIs it's very scalable."
"We've made a few enhancements to our Enterprise Manager system to allow self-reporting to grow. We see that as a very useful system. It's been incredibly beneficial in diagnosing production performance issues, diagnosing what reports are running slowly, where the SQL could be optimized, opportunities or metrics where we see long-time running performance. Enterprise Manager has been absolutely vital in giving us some of the insights about our system."
"Getting more data to people more quickly. Providing more flexibility for how they use the data."
"Semi-automatic support of implementing date dimensions, including delta to prior year implementation."
"The scalability is great. It was one of the selling points for us on MicroStrategy."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"The interface could be improved."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"I would like to see a single standalone application to control everything from the administration perspective, and also to develop new applications."
"The implementation itself was pretty straightforward. The tricky part was understanding MicroStrategy's licensing model, which was a bit convoluted back then."
"Getting our data to work with the tool is where we are having issues."
"MicroStrategy needs to do some more development to make the platform easier to use. It's a complicated platform that requires a lot of skill to effectively utilize. So they could work on reducing the complexity to make it more accessible for a broader community of people."
"The product could be improved by adding additional visualization."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"They need to do a better job In its ability to allow end users to produce their own reports, metrics, and self-service business intelligence."
"I prefer the capabilities of a single platform, but it does not always work. We are a huge company. Some areas do not use MicroStrategy, so you have to blend whatever systems they are using together to get the data points that you are looking for."
