MicroStrategy Mobile vs. SAP Extension Suite (discontinued)

One of best business intelligence enterprise reporting tools, it has loads of rich features available to the business user with ease of use and advanced analysis in a single end-to-end solution. I like MicroStrategy's simplicity in creating complex multi-pass SQL reports, visualizations over varied data sets, and the breath of areas in which the product can be used. I like mostly everything. I think there are some remaining improvements that could be done in the area of data visualization.

The adoption of SAP Extension Suite is growing significantly and it has become a strategic platform for our company.

The most important thing that SAP Extension delivers is a single UI for development effort for web and mobile deployment.

We have been able to work in a much more agile way with SAP Extension Suite, and there is a lot of excitement that developing with this platform is significantly faster. SAP Extension Suite is the perfect fit to build great-looking applications that work on any form factor, be it [a] smartphone, laptop, or tablet, and within budget.

• Faster development cycle due to native integration with SAP products
