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 definitely impacts people, who are excited to use it."
"The feature I found most valuable is the drop and drag functionality available."
"The implementation was fairly straightforward."
"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."
"I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability."
"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."
"We pretty much use the knowledge base. We feel that Microstrategy's community is a good forum to use."
"Transaction Services, that was really the part of the tool that made it very compelling for us, because it gave the opportunity to drive action."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"Sometimes you can do something in reports, but you cannot do the same thing in documents."
"It would be good if it had greater analytics so we could build these visualizations by ourselves with scripts."
"Needs tighter mapping integration."
"From a stability standpoint, from MicroStrategy, I would say it's fairly consistent. I would give it a "B" because there are times where we have issues that are just inexplicable. They go away and then we have no resolution. To me, that's not acceptable. There are just times where our users can't access things and we're not sure why, and that's a problem to me."
"The implementation itself was pretty straightforward. The tricky part was understanding MicroStrategy's licensing model, which was a bit convoluted back then."
"MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."
"The product could be improved by adding additional visualization."
"I would like to see a single standalone application to control everything from the administration perspective, and also to develop new applications."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
