Platform Analytics vs Enterprise Manager

Platform Analytics and Enterprise Manager are both monitoring tools that capture data about MicroStrategy.

Some of these benefits include:

• Capturing data in real-time.
• Supporting the monitoring of multiple MicroStrategy environments.
• Providing a fully scalable ETL layer that is always on and does not require scheduling.
• Collecting data from more areas of the MicroStrategy platform.
• Generating a smaller footprint on the Intelligent Server when capturing telemetry.
• Using a simplified data model that utilizes less space in the data warehouse.
• Including a set of powerful and highly curated dashboards.
• Surfacing data through other MicroStrategy products like Workstation.
• Enabling users who are not administrators to see the data they care about.
• Using user-friendly naming conventions.
