Experience:

Navigation and processes are easy to use & operate. On the downside, administration authorization may pose problems pertaining to time and compartmentalizations of tasks. We are a basic software use case. The most general of operations & applications. I enjoy the timely feedback and turnaround when solutions are preformed correctly and in the right manner.

Pros:

MicroStrategy takes away the struggle of strategically trying to engineer solutions that other programs don't offer.

Cons:

I'd like to have authorization operations and processes be more smoothly run.
