"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."
"The feature I found most valuable is the drop and drag functionality available."

"There are people who are using MicroStrategy as transaction services."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."

"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The solution is an affordable one."

"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"I would like to see the enterprise version available in a demo or as a trial version."
"Data writeback, and on-the-fly predictive analysis results from R and Python could be improved."

"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"There is room for improvement on the graphs."
"We have not invested nor are we planning to invest in MicroStrategy's mobile platform."

"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
