MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop

MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop is a professional application designed to offer business managers the right tools to analyze data in a visually-intuitive manner.

Once installed, the program allows you to start creating various dashboards, providing you with several samples to start from. MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop enables you to connect to the database you prefer, but also import Excel or CSV files from your computer or an online location.

After uploading the source file of your choice, be it spreadsheet, database or SQL query, you can choose a visualization method that best fits the information you are working with.

Visualizations are probably the main feature of MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop, thus offering a wide range of grids, pie charts, heat or geographic maps, networks, vertical or horizontal bar charts, line or dual axis graphs.

Each individual entry is signaled in a different color to better distinguish it from the others. You have the possibility of displaying several visualizations on one dashboard, enabling your dataset to tell a complete story. It helps you organize your data so you will understand it better and faster than by simply looking at sheets of information, seemingly without beginning or end.

When you finish a dashboard, you can export it along with its corresponding dataset and share it with other MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop users. During the entire process, all the information you work with will only be stored on your computer, so it never leaves your hands without your knowledge.

MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop is a great application that was intended mainly for business people, particularly those who might lack the experience or the training to analyze complex data. Nonetheless, this piece of software is suitable for both beginners and more experienced users, as it proves quite efficient in simplifying the task of reading and interpreting data for just about anyone.
