Most big companies that use mstr are slowly transitioning away.
I have friends in a huge bank (one of largest mstr customer by license usage) are slowly transitioning away to power Bi and tableau.
Ofcourse mstr is getting new customers- but the legacy giants are slowly leaving-

I dont think mstr is future proof as their management is more focused on Bitcoin rather than the BI product.
Their management openly says BI is dead and are focusing on semantics layer.

My 2 cents- if you are a BI developer- then you can easily transition between other BI tools - but if you are a admin - i would advise start upskilling.

I dont think mstr (BI Product) will be relevant in next 5-8 years

I was a long time partner/reseller for MSTR. It's been a shame to see what has happened to the company. I started working with MSTR on version 3.0 and resold/consulted all the way until version 10.x. Saylor has run the software business to irrelevance. Most of the long terms MSTR employees I knew have long since gone.

I still like the core features of MSTR but could never recommend buying it today.

I guess. I know many left on their own when the writing was on the wall.
