Sisense - Making my day easier
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part is the platform flexibility. I'm able to add/removed columns easily and efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense can be laggy at times, but it usually catches back up after a page refresh.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense allows me to analyze our data and optimize our marketing campaigns in order to maximize ROI. I've realized multiple issues in our campaigns and have been able to resolve the issues so that we don't loos money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to click the maximize button in the top left corner of each widget. This will give you the option to add/removed columns and see exactly what you need.
Powerful Tool But Make Sure You Have The Resources To Effectively Use It
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to manipulate all of the data from numerous data sources. What would usually take days or weeks to build could take an hour or two..
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing capabilities could be better. Right now it's a little clumsy in that regard. Also the ability to create reports from multiple data sources is definitely easier than it would be without SiSense but there is still a learning curve that we are working through in order to build dashboards effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to build a report to allow us to project product sales better and identify products that are trending below our goals, giving us the ability to make proactive adjustments to reach our goals rather than looking at numbers after the fact and trying to identify why we didn't reach our goals and what we could have done better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very powerful tool but you need to make sure that you have the resources to use it effectively and you should make sure that you have a plan in place for who will lead the effort for driving a data driven culture and what reports will have the most impact on your company to start with.
Sisense, BI simplified
What do you like best about the product?
The design and flow are very simple, comprehensive and clear. from all the BI tools I've worked with, this one has received the best feedback from our end users, they love their simplicity. Another great feature is the elasticube, wich allow BI developers to connect multiple sources & stitch data without additional data infrastructure like a data warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, it's hard to say, this is a relly good tool, but i'm substracting 1 point from the perfect score for this tool for 2 main reasons: First, the version I worked with didn't support statistical analysis, projections and statistical packages/languages integration (R, Python) neither in elasticube or the visualization client, so, you may have to preprocess the data to perform this kind of analysis, (In my opnion, the lack of this feature could follow a good practice, since by removing this kind of calculations from the interface increase the tool performance, but i would be great if this feature was enabled on the elasticube or at least enable analytical functions). The second reason is that you require to install a web server to develop dashboards, this causes serveral issues if you have any other tool that requires to install nother local web server. Also it reduces your computer performance, so, be sure to disable the environment when not using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this tool to built an enterprise BI solution to track business operations from a large company (+2,000 employees) including financial stats, product delivery and performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask for IoT & Alexa integrations Sisense has a lot of interesting interfaces that are changing the way we conceive BI
Intuitive flexible and capable BI tool for organizations of all sizes
What do you like best about the product?
We are relatively new to Sisense, but we have really enjoyed the intuitiveness of the tool from the beginning. As all tools do, it has some limitations, but the ease of configuration and the ability to get going quickly is one of the things we like the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many features are accomplished with community-based plugins which aren't officially supported, so if you intend to add complex functionality then you also need to have an ability to support plugins internally, or you have to find a way to have that managed for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of getting information to people. Hands down, this is the biggest benefit. We're moving away from static reports and moving towards giving people the ability to answer questions on their own without more report development time.
Professional analysis with great commercial understanding.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the interface and the flexibility and ease with which Sisense provides the creation of business reports and panels. In addition to this, the new versions and features are always very impressive and facilitate your daily work. Customer service is incredibly responsive and useful, and there is a wealth of support material available online. It's good to note that I find it easy to create a variety of powerful reports that merge data from several different sources to give us really useful information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a mobile application, which works as described, but the experience is often unsatisfactory and could definitely be improved. Also, I don't particularly like that there is no accumulated data synchronization function in the Salesforce connector. This limits me a little when integrating the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We collect, analyze and convert data into understandable reports that provide us with valuable information and, in turn, increase the outcome of the business process. We can use Sisense as a single provider that offers a comprehensive solution. It helps us facilitate development. Most departments in my organization are now making decisions thanks to the tool due to the ease of implementing multiple data sources. We are very flattered to have the program and its tools for so long.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommended, the speed of reporting will help you move forward with business decisions faster. Use the support material. There is a wealth of information in tutorials, webinars and community forums. You can save time and also optimize revenue.
Sisense gives us lots of data to help us to make better decisions
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the interface and the flexibility and ease in which Sisense provides in creating business reports and dashboards. Most importantly, Sisense has the ability to drill down the data we use and also the support offered is great they made sure we were able to get the most value from using this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Prior releases had issues with environments setup in a High Availability configuration. It may have been specific to our environment but we had instances where upgrades would break something, like Pulse alerts, and required re-troubleshooting with tech support. I would also like to see a more comprehensive guide and documentation in different areas such as their API designer and some of their SQL design pieces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now collect, analyze and convert data to understandable report which provides us with valuable insights and in turn increases business process outcome. We can use Sisense as a single vendor offering end to end solution. It helps us to facilitate development and debugging. It has feature-rich dashboard widgets and a high ease of development. The speed of delivering BI reports helps us to move forward with business decisions more quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Caution on if the product is mature enough for how their environment is setup. The sales process was smooth dealing with people at Sisense was easy and a good experience overall. I faced stability issue with the web environment but its now getting better.
Sisense

As an IT Business Analyst, Sisense software is extremely important in my everyday work. I utilize Sisense in collection of data from different sources then combine the information into one single warehouse.

It also offers the user unmatched visualization of data.

Sisense is an almost perfect tool. The vendor of the program will benefit greatly if they improve navigation features especially on mobile devices.

Sisense & Data Warehouse Implemenation
What do you like best about the product?
We like the ease of use and the support. Sisense was very easy to install and implement. We were able to create useful reporting in a relatively short period of time. The ability to model data and the flexibility of the Elasticube functionality has allowed use to create reporting that we'd not have been able to do elsewise.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that we dislike about Sisense, in particular. Having more options as far as graphing and visualizations would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a platform to 'sit' on top of our data warehouse to provide reporting, both internal and regulatory. We have been able to create dashboards for users to create their own reporting over different time periods. Rather than create separate reporting for each month for the user, the user simply has to change the date filter and export.
