Offers a simplified attribute and maze-creation process but lacks a thriving community

The solution provider should take some initiatives to grow the MicroStrategy community because, presently, it's quite small, and I wasn't able to find a solution to my problem by searching in the community. MicroStrategy can offer user-friendly training through platforms such as YouTube. Recently, at our company, the features we were able to utilize in the developer tool were not there in the workstation; such issues can be resolved through training videos or learning content distribution from MicroStrategy. The solution provider is presently promoting the workstation on the cloud instead of the developer tool, so there should be relevant resources for learning about the product. MicroStrategy is also working on integrating AI technology into its product. The object migration process from one environment to another using the solution is somewhat complex. It involves package creation, dependency, and transportation. But the migration process is rather simpler in OBIEE, where reports need to be archived in one system and unarchived in another, for example, from Dev to SID.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity

TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, we'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The reporting, the dashboards, and the new visualization functions. It is very easy for users to understand their data and dashboards."

"With the new version that's coming out, I think they have simplified a lot of things. Also, when it comes to the administration part, and sharing, and the collaboration features, they are really great. You can send out comments with a filter to someone in your organization, and if the person clicks on it, he actually sees what you are seeing. So that's really great."

"It's a stand-alone mobile development app that you don't even have to do business intelligence on. You can just use it to build apps."

"The solution is ideal for enterprise-level companies or corporations."

"It plays a vital role in establishing a connection with predictive continuous improvement."

"It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."

"The solution has excellent features available on mobile."

"Simplifies and accelerates the attribute and maze creation process"

More MicroStrategy pros

"We can set any property dynamically."

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."

"Currently, the client view looks completely different depending on what you are building."

"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."

"We haven't invested in the mobile platform. We want to invest, but the problem is the security. We are in the health domain, so we have PHI data."

"Another feature to consider in the future would be adding some additional offline capabilities without using desktops."

"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."

"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."

"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"

More MicroStrategy cons

"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They need to work on their license structure. They are not competitive against somebody like SAP BusinessObjects. We had a quote that was almost a third the price, coming from SAP BusinessObjects, and it's not a better platform. It's not cheaper. They do concurrent user licensing, while MicroStrategy does named user licensing, and that was literally the only difference. But it made a $500,000 difference. They've got to do something to make themselves more competitive. Maybe it's assessing your business users and what you really expect them to use, and maybe giving a reduced price on that. But they are already giving us a 60% discount and they were still a million or so above, over a three-year time period. That doesn't account for synergies as we get from on-site resources that are already available, but I thought that that was a big, big deficit for them."

"There have been actual direct bottomline impacts in terms of extra revenue created from the reporting solutions."

"For larger businesses, the pricing is logical."

"The pricing is fair."

"While initial cost of MicroStrategy is still on the higher side, the long-term benefits brings down overall cost of ownership significantly as compared to other tools like Tableau/Cognos."

"The licensing is a bit high per user."

"They made a change in the licensing module some time ago and we can now use all the enterprise tools for free."

"MicroStrategy's licensing cost is higher than that of other tools in the market. My company uses the enterprise edition of the product."

More MicroStrategy pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
