Interesting. Ask the Microstrategy customers if they've ever attempted to renegotiate a license and let mstr print off the license manager report. Given that they don't have a correct proces for getting reseller license purchases, it will be incorrect. No problem, except that mstr will then attempt to sue for breach of contract on compliance. If this happened once, it would be unpleasant but excusable, but this is a complaint I've heard from other unfortunates like myself. Thanks to this, I'll never use them again.

Perhaps the numbers are skewed because Microstrategy are likely to have some other BI product in house.

After taking time to beta testing their products and helping them on their promotions (media articles) we were "attacked" by the sales reps which put money before customer care. After we helped during the audit process, they kept the results for themselves until it was time to renew our contract.

Awesome product, horrible customer care.

I don;t know how the other companies do, but I'm willing to try a new one as soon as have a chance.
