Competing in the Business Intelligence (BI) market is a bit like playing a competitive sport — the winning player has the right strategy and the best team. MicroStrategy has been staying ahead of the BI game for over 30 years and continues to evolve its strategy to not only win against its competitors, but more importantly, to satisfy the ever-changing needs of its fans (customers). The BI playing field is extremely competitive and continues to grow. With new players and BI tools on the market, selecting the right solution to support digital transformation at scale is no small task.

When it comes to BI tools comparison, many factors, especially those that go beyond data reporting and visualization, are being carefully considered by our customers and studied by a community of leading analysts including Gartner, BARC, Forrester, and others.

We understand the importance of making an informed decision — that’s why we outlined the top 5 reasons why hundreds of organizations across the globe chose MicroStrategy to migrate their legacy BI solutions, like SAP BusinessObjects, over alternative vendors like Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, Looker, and others.

#5 Company Stability that Instils Trust

For over 30 years MicroStrategy has been building customer relationships based on trust and a deep sense of commitment to our customers’ success. That’s why we couldn’t be prouder to receive a “Customer Choice” rating in Gartner’s latest Peer Insights Report that is based solely on customers’ reviews. When compared to market alternatives, thousands of organizations chose MicroStrategy because of its stability, trusted leadership, and homegrown technology over companies with acquisition strategies and over mega-vendors that force organizations to buy their technology stack.

#4 Highest Level Security

To say we take security seriously would be an understatement — we take security extremely seriously. Simply put, we secure some of the most sensitive and important data in the world. Organizations, public and private, choose MicroStrategy for its robust security posture and unique architecture that helps solve the most complex data integrity problems.

#3 Most Complete BI Platform

MicroStrategy is on a mission to bring Intelligence Everywhere to help customers step up their BI game. That’s why we never stop continuing to invent and reimagine analytics, bringing modern solutions to the market. Driven by the vision of 100% adoption of modern analytics, organizations choose MicroStrategy for its innovative solutions like HyperIntelligence, Embedded Analytics to help them achieve that goal.

#2 Open Platform Architecture

One of the top reasons why MicroStrategy wins over its competitors is its open platform that provides full flexibility for our customers to deploy their solutions on-premises, or cost-effectively in the cloud.

#1 Best Value

While market alternatives offer some free options, many organizations quickly realize how expensive sophisticated BI can get with tools that lead you to buy their technology stack. Because MicroStrategy is designed for high adoption and a low learning curve, thousands of enterprises chose MicroStrategy for its value in the long run.
