Sisense Review from the Dashboard Designer Persepective
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating widgets to show information in a much more impactful way than using spreasdsheets.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more customization options without having to add on additional costs to the project. For example: a more intuitive search, the current one is clunky through having to click and unclick selections. Also would like an email button to open an email with a reference back to what the user has questions about. (Email template that pops out for them to respond to data they are seeing).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Live and accurate data for our customer to grab at any time they need it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool to present data in a visual way from high level to deep dives of individual information.
Financial Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Creating a dashboard from scratch in minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Backend data creation. Non tech users need ability to create database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to take massive amounts of data and tell a story through dashboards.
Fast, Easy to Use, Unmatched Support
What do you like best about the product?
The support Sisense offers is unmatched, whenever we have had a question, request, or problem, we've been met with fast service and a genuine interest in helping us solve our issue. They are willing to hear our ideas and are quick to provide updates to pre-existing requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some limited functionality, for now, though I think that Sisense is definitely on the right track! Whenever an update to functionality has been requested, we've been told that it is on the roadmap, or that they will approach their team with the suggestion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense gives us a way to give our clients fast, nice-looking, fully customizable reports with real-time data.
Using Sisense to Understand the Employee Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to layer different types of data together. On top of that, being able to drill down by different areas of the company really help us to see the full picture and tell a great story to a leadership team.
What do you dislike about the product?
My background is not in big data, SQL etc, so there has been a learning curve to overcome, but I'm glad that I can attend events such as Sisense Masters Training Day to work on my skills.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding the employee experience within an organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work on open-ended text analysis. I'd love to see a word cloud that has filtering and correlation capabilities.
Powerful BI Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Their training courses are solid. I have beginner level experience in SQL and databases yet, I am able to create elasticubes and dashboards because of the provided training. The ability to pull in Google Sheets and Excel documents into the elasticubes has also proven very valuable for creating SEO dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is room for improvement on their REST connector. Their support team tried to help but, there were limitations preventing Sisense from connecting a popular rank tracking tool. They did mention addressing it in a future release. Looking forward to that change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sisense internally to visualize our ERP and SEO data.
Trajectory to Greatness
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense has made some exceptional decisions in its underlying architecture. They have embraced an API first approach to the technology they offer. This is unusual for a BI platform, yet gives Sisense a competitive advantage when scaling out for the cloud. The underlying columnar data store (named after a French Impressionist painter) is applauded for its speed. Sprinkle in a web based dashboard authoring tool, white labeling support, a large collection of data connectors, and extensibility and you have a platform for success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense is growing rapidly and there is dilution of knowledge internally. This means, that the more complex your implementation the thinner the support you will have. You would be better off engaging their professional services organization. This is changing quickly, but in our experience, not fast enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When are a FinTech company and using Sisense to serve internal analytics and provide reports and analytics to our customers via white labeling Sisense.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider engaging profession services to large scale out high availability implementations.
Sisense makes sense
