Good for security and performance but lack of user-friendliness

MicroStrategy, for me, it's the visualization and user-friendliness that needs improvement. When compared to Power BI and Tableau, that's their sweet spot. They're super easy to pick up and use. Plus, they've got this cool association feature that updates when you change the timeframe. But with MicroStrategy, there's a lot of room for improvement, especially in integrating with developed mobile solutions using MicroStrategy. We struggled to deploy to iOS, and the Android adaptation was a big challenge for us. Everything that worked in iOS wouldn't work in Android, and videos and calendars were a whole other mess. So, user-friendliness for non-technical users and mobile performance on Android, particularly in India, where it's the dominant platform, those are my two big areas for improvement.

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

"In terms of functionality, MicroStrategy is alright. It's a solid BI tool and can handle most tasks you'd expect."

"We have been using it mostly for grid reports and its exporting features."

"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."

"It has the potential to become a great evangelist for AI and other embedded analytics."

"The single stack solution will always be more profitable, scalable, and elastic for organizational needs."

"It scales well. It used to have only a max of four I-servers, but I think recently, somewhere in version 10, they doubled that, so you can have eight I-servers now."

"On our mobile solution you can deploy up to 100,000 users. In our case, we're up to about 10,000 active users, and MicroStrategy's server technology behind the scenes, the Intelligence Server and the Mobile Servers, are very robust and they can handle the workload."

"The architecture is very solid."

More MicroStrategy pros

"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."

"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."

"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

"We can set any property dynamically."

"It's easy to use and maintain."

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

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The solution has a very non-logical user usage part. It has a library mode where users can access all the data, reports, and dashboards, but they also can be accessed from a platform. They have to log into the platform. The user experience is confusing for the users. MicroStrategy needs to define which one they will use. Some functionality isn’t available in library mode but is available in the portal. There should be Office integration. For example, if I do a presentation, then I should be able to add a chart to my presentation."

"The In-Memory Capability (cubes) needs a lot of improvement."

"The online community page of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"We would really like to see MicroStrategy have some support teams based more in Europe, because for now it seems that there is one person for the whole CE region. That is not exactly what we would like to see. We do know that MicroStrategy supports most places, either in the US or India, but those are different time zones, people, and cultures."

"The product could be improved by adding additional visualization."

"We would like access to more storage and access to more metadata to build the right programs that can construct all the stuff for us instead of us having to type it in all the time."

"MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."

"There is room for improvement in data visualization."

More MicroStrategy cons

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

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

"The upgrades are not easy."

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

"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."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

"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."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing, in general, is high. With Power BI, you get mobile with the license, whereas with MicroStrategy, you have to purchase mobile for extra."

"It is expensive. We would like to extend it to many users, but we are currently restricting that because the cost is a constraint. If we are given a chance, we would love to expand it."

"The licensing is a bit high per user."

"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."

"I am unsure what the licensing costs are for this solution however, development costs are around $100,000 per year."

"We have one of the best pricing available, but we can't disclose that information."

"Additional costs are associated with maintenance."

More MicroStrategy pricing and cost advice

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

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

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

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

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