MicroStrategy is a proprietary business intelligence suite based on a ROLAP back-end similar to Cognos or Business Objects.

MicroStrategy is a proprietary business intelligence suite based on a ROLAP back-end similar to Cognos or Business Objects. Key features include a ROLAP engine with a metadata based database markup system, in-memory OLAP based on the metadata, ad-hoc reporting and analytic tooling aimed at power user skill levels, a dashboard builder/publisher, and a portal facility providing a front-end.

Competitors include Business Objects, Cognos and ROLAP tooling supplied by database vendors such as Microsoft and Oracle. MicroStrategy do not provide a dedicated MOLAP server, although the tool does have a proprietary in-memory local cube facility. The suite does not support native browsing of third-party OLAP servers, although it can import data from OLAP sources and use it witin its own metadata layer.

Use this tag for any questions related to the MicroStrategy tool chain.
