Overall Satisfaction with MicroStrategy Analytics
We went with MS analytics to create internal operational efficiencies and Improve business process outcomes through enhanced decision making using better data points and metrics available at hand. Mainly the team was looking at using the data from the last 12 months or 52 weeks to create dashboards and have a meaningful representation of that huge amount of data. The team liked the options available with filters for using important data. We were able to save the templates with various parameters, filters, and rules which were easy to update with a refresh in a click. The visualizations also looked good as they had different color themes to separate out different parameters. We could also save the widgets and export them as excel sheets, pdf to extract data in shareable files. We intend to use this across a department.
- Filters and their customization to make meaningful widgets and have multiple widgets in one dashboard view.
- Ability to save templates that can be later refreshed without having to recreate them from scratch.
- Takes a little longer to configure initially and is a big load on the data server.
- Doesn't have a unified interface and has two separate interfaces for lots of features.
- Support team could be more efficient and have documentation ready to share after helping out with issues.
Factors in going with MicroStrategy Analytics are cost, cloud saas, ease of integration, strong peer community, strong consulting partnership, and pre-existing relationships. The cost factor and pre-existing relationships played a defining role in the selection of the product.
