"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"The product is easy to learn."
"Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
"It drives us away from Excel. For what it is for, it is good. You can't run a business on Excel."
"We prefer having our analytics capabilities in a single platform, which MicroStrategy's offers."
"Dependency on development teams, as well as managing the platform, has reduced a lot with Visual Insight."
"Scalability is fantastic. It can go from a small operation up to a gigantic operation. "
"Tech support has been great, very responsive. We usually hear back within a day. We usually email them and that works out perfect. The right person always gets back to us."
"The solution is ideal for enterprise-level companies or corporations."
"Building apps is easy. You just drag in your data, and then you drag in all the elements that you want on your app. It's drag and drop design, and then you can customize your visuals. They make it all easy with plug and play widgets."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire."
"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."
"I just want a few more features to be added."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"MicroStrategy is dragging behind other tools on the self-service visualizations, like Tableau. I would rate Tableau as a 10. For the same visualizations, I would say MicroStrategy is an eight, maybe nine. They're still behind on the self-service visualizations,"
"Something I would be interested in is more visualizations, because right now we use SDK to create some. If there were more out-of-the-box options, we would be happy with that."
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
"We did have issues with stability, and that was because we were co-located with another business unit, and we outgrew them on the unit. So we had to get to a separate physical instance."
"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."
"It is actually pretty complicated to use. It is complicated enough that user adaptation is sometimes difficult. We developed more experts rather than people using it."
"Preparation, data loading and data management application is challenging with MicroStrategy. It lacks cube-based analytics as it is outdated, meaning there is no memory or fast processing analytics or MMA deployment."
