Not as much name recognition among colleagues not in IT roles therefore more difficult to get consensus by internal clients for use on a broader or corporate-wide scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During my graduate studies, I had the opportunity to work extensively with MicroStrategy platform as part of a comprehensive data analytics project. It is definitely a game changer for data driven projects. While using this platform I liked the most the advanced analytics capabilities that had to offer. It allowed me to forecast outcomes and test different hypotheses with high degree of precision.
The other thing I liked most about this tool is the ability to create dashboards. The drag and drop interface was very impressive and intuitive for me as a first time user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were not many downsides when using this tool. As a first time user I had a bit of trouble of finding enough documentation and online resources for creating dashboards.

I have been using MSTR for around 2.5 years now. Its very user friendly for front end users for creating reports or dossiers.
1.) Its backend developer tool is also very intuitive.
2.) New datasets intergrations are quite fast.
3.) From user perspective, its scheduled report email functionality is best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From MSTR developer perspective, sometimes it becomes really frustrating that it does not allow LEFT JOIN for database tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using MicroStrategy, we love the easy to understand premises that it works with, for example when making dashboard reports or comparison sheets, the ease of use is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Maybe the least helpful thing about MicroStrategy could be its menus accesibility, maybe sometimes finding the solution can be behind you and if you don't have a support manual around, it can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
