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.
