What differentiates MicroStrategy from other similar products?

The price is much cheaper than other platforms, besides being flexible and intuitive and easy to use, it is well made and complies.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love it for its speed and performance at the time of its use, it shows strength and scalability, it is somewhat difficult to install but when it is achieved its final objectives are met, in addition the information and data are designed in real time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I like least is the complexity with which the reports are formatted, the updates are usually complicated to install and it is almost impossible to use on Linux.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If I recommend it, but it should be taken into account that the installation process can be difficult, but if it is worth a try, with this tool you can analyze large databases and have reports with data related to the sources.
