Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helps all the store managers and supply chain people to obtain a view of the data and plan the next week, the next month, quarters, and so on."
"Our primary use case is to deliver all data insights to our company."
"MicroStrategy has powerful data security features, which are crucial these days. For example, when users view data in MicroStrategy, they're only allowed to see a portion based on the permissions. When we evaluated other solutions like Power BI or Tableau, we found the security is very poor. They can't help us secure access to the data."
"I like that they're trying to incorporate Developer into Workstation and Desktop into Workstation, so you get the all-in-one encompassing, highly technical Developer Workstation where you can do the VI, you can do the Dossier."
"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."
"Tech support has been great, very responsive. We usually hear back within a day. We usually email them and that works out perfect. The right person always gets back to us."
"I have never had any problems with the stability."
"The most valuable features are drill down, dashboards, documents, bringing everything under one roof, and visualizations."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"SAP Analytics Cloud allows you to quickly perform various tasks in terms of virtualization. CyberArk itself requires some enhancements to better connect with other technologies. While it's easy to connect with SAP, using analytics tools may sometimes necessitate sourcing information from different platforms. You might need data from SAP or other technologies/platforms to access specific information not available within SAP. SAP is effective for managing storage and enhancing virtualization capabilities."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable. This way it helps the end user to create stories themselves."
"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"The Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good."
"MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."
"Currently, the client view looks completely different depending on what you are building."
"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 would like to see more Writeback capabilities that would allow our IT department not to be worried about the wild, Wild West of Writeback."
"Native VI on mobile apps and better android support are lacking."
"Scalability is something which will need to be improved when it goes to a bigger audience."
"Data writeback, and on-the-fly predictive analysis results from R and Python could be improved."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
