Needs more work
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with other software is nice
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a resource hog! If your server isn't 36core and 64gb, have fun trying to keep it from crashing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and relaying data
Super easy to use for someone with minimal SQL/Database experience
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy for me to use on the fly. Can build new dashboard and reports within minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know enough about the system yet. Still learning. I know there are a lot of bells and whistles that i am not taking advantage of yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to address operational workflow issues and gaps. Able to really dive into the results of our business with these tools.
Easy way to visualize data
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to personalize the data and integrate it with other systems. Also makes the data easy to digest
What do you dislike about the product?
For non-engineers it can be difficult to personalize
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving performance issues - we are able to look at all the nuances of search accounts
Would be a great tool if it would actually work
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense allows for a quick and streamlined way to visualize recent changes in accounts and aggregates those all on one page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense is always down when I try to use it in the morning, it doesn’t seem to be able to connect to our accounts correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense helps me do a high level check of my accounts’ performance.
Easier to use than expected even with little to no SQL experience
What do you like best about the product?
Once onboarded and in the tool, it is very easy to navigate. I also like the visibility into the data and what the programming is doing. Some other tools we used I felt like I lost visibility and it was very hard to QC that what I wanted to do was actually being done correctly. Sisense does a great job at allowing the user to be able to get insights very clearly into what is happening on the backend to QC on the frontend.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like some more formatting features on the dashboard; minor things like fonts, being able to bold, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Sisense to do Client Response Analysis. This analysis was almost impossible to do on a recurring basis because it took so long to do offline and manually. We are now able to take a report that would take 3-4 days to update it in 15 minutes. We are seeing more accuracy and a ton of time savings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the time to spend during implementation and onboarding. If you put the time in upfront the ease of use comes quickly. We had to start and stop a lot due to scheduling and work load and it made the learning curve take longer than it probably should have. Now that we're in the tool on a daily basis it does not feel intimidating or cumbersome.
Great for data teams
What do you like best about the product?
Periscope is great for people who know how to write SQL and have their data in tabular format. It allows you to write SQL queries and directly make them into charts rather than the Tableau and Looker approach of having proprietary abstractions from the SQL code.
Anyone who knows how to write SQL will be able to use Periscope very quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
The actual Periscope dashboards are relatively basic but you can use different Python/R packages to make different kinds of charts.
Also, if you have a lot of people who do not know SQL but want to explore the tabular data themselves, this is probably not the tool for you because the "Data Discovery" tool is very basic. Not sure how it compares to other products in that regard but it is definitely not as good as Thoughtspot.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Periscope for basically all data analytics and reporting. The "Periscope cache" is very useful because it basically acts as a mini data warehouse, allowing you to join disparate data sources. Also, the UI is great. It makes making materialized SQL views very easy and straightforward. Also, the customer support is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your data team needs a tool use Periscope. If you have picky business users who don't write SQL, you'll need something else.
Delivers powerful but simple analytics to our clients
What do you like best about the product?
The speed at which I can deploy power functionality from client-requested features in their Dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some safari-based limitations for excel downloads
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clients ability to visualize their data. Historically, we've needed to drive the reports for clients, or client have been limited to what data they could access. Now they have tools to view all their data in formats they demand
Product Manager
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use, very self explanatory, and templates are useful to create fast dashbaords
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though the dashboards are easy to use, their is no flexibility to customizing the view of a dashboard, i feel like there is too much open space especially when you are trying to create 2-3 KPI side by side, and the fonts are very limited function, therefore in some cases the difference between one number to the next is off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
being able to create graphics to better explain the data in a summarized way
Intuitive Yet Robust
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Cubes & Dashboards can be as complicated as you like. If it's a simple calculation - I can have a dashboard put together in an hour. If I want to spend time and build something very specific using SQL, I can also do that. I haven't seen a program before that has both functionalities - out of the box use and super-customizable options. The add-ons are endless - any thing you could imagine. The ability to code ontop of the dashboards has potential once I learn javascript.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does have some technical problems every once and a while. Usually logging out & back in solves it.
The install team had issues getting the software correctly installed and running with our production tables.
Some add-ons stop working repeatedly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am providing metrics and tracking for other depts as to their KPIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They provide a trial version where they connect a trial version of their software to our own data - really helpful to see exactly how well it works and practice around for a few days. The on-boarding and training was conducted thoroughly and well.

Support could be a bit faster to reply but that is a minimal issue.
