Excellent Product With Quirky Formatting. Outstanding On Boarding And Support Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense has proven to be an excellent BI platform for us. While some formatting requires custom scripting the customer support and development teams have done an excellent job of providing support and incorporating suggestion into the roadmap. They listen!!! The onboarding process for any product is usually dependent on the onboarding team... and our Sisense BI Consultant (included with the product) was excellent. In addition to being intimately familiar with the product, he was also well versed in various data modeling techniques.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting and functionality that you might assume to be built in the front end actually requires custom scripting. Prefer Sisense address this gap in future versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal customer scorecard solution with mobile capabilities.
Great customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Great support services! This means fast response times and much quicker ramp up/training
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to make certain types of interactive graphs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization in real time - this allows us to monitor our business
Using Sisense for product development
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of usage and full stack capabilities. It is very easy and quickly to go through the whole process from data import to Dashboards publishing. It is easy to create data model and combine data from different data sources. Also Custom SQL queries gives possibility to make data transformations. Dashboards creation is very quick and simple but also gives possibility to make advanced formulas and calculations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price and absence of the timeline of the new features development. Elasticube is hard to drag and navigate when many tables are added. It is hard to move and rearrange data tables by dragging them. Also it is very easy to break the dashboard if any changes of fields names are done in elasticube and Sisense is not alerting about possible issues when filed is used in calculations. Also, when there is need to replace some data field on another for the whole dashboard, there is no easy way to do this in batch, you just need to go and manually change it in each widget and formula.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance measure visualization for monitoring. Data consolidation - when structure of the data is the same in different files. Speed of development is great advantage. Also Sisense provide flexibility to adjust data model easily and develop it further as time goes and changes needed. It is easy to switch to another data source if needed and keep the model structure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is very good full stack BI product
Great Analytics Tool. Easy to write charts, tables, and other visualizations.
What do you like best about the product?
This tool has made it easy to write the visualizations that need to be surfaced to stake-holders. I especially like the fact that you write a SQL query and the data for the visualization is derived from the query results. This has made our business intelligence so much more flexible than if we could only specify a table.
With other BI tools, you have to specify a table and if you want to limit the rows retrieve and do a join, there is a series of drop downs to deal with. That approach would slow us down sooo much so I am glad that we are not bound by it in Periscope.

What do you dislike about the product?
The options with regards to some visualizations are a little limited. With the addition of plotly and other tools, this is being mitigated. However I think there may be some visualization features available on other BI tools that are not on Periscope.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to surface analytics reports for the various reporting needs of our organization. Because it is doing direct queries, the reports update in real-time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No learning curve! Easy to get started, unlike other BI tools we evaluated
"Fast Food" Data
What do you like best about the product?
Periscope provides you with with the data you need. It helps a lot in terms of pulling up data really fast whenever you need it. Pretty reliable and easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Personally I'm a very visual person, so I guess the freedom to customise the way your dashboard would look like in terms of colour is very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick data in terms of client based activities. I work a lot in operations and it works wonders!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It looks intimidating at first but once you get the hang of it, it'll be like clockwork.
User friendly.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the user friendly BI tools I have worked with. Easily works in combination of different types of sources. Helpful customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
it would be helpful if the errors messages had a little more detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Populating useful KPIs and insights that are very beneficial for business decisions of our company.
Clear the joint of excels to create graphs in one place that summarize everything.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best is the possibility to select only one advertiser or year once the graph is created.
What do you dislike about the product?
The procedure to enter the data is as follows: once you enter the first Excel file, the upcoming ones must have the same number of columns, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Summarize two Excel sheets into one.
The possibility to have a graph updated weekly with an Excel.

Pharmacy Insurance Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is very user friendly, which allows us to provide access to our customers without having to spend a large amount of time on training. It also has great dill down functionality which significantly reduces the amount for time needed to answer any questions about what is driving a spike in the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there are still a few restrictions on certain types of calculations, there is more than enough to be able to provide insightful analytics. In addition, I would like to see some additional 'built in' widgets, instead of having to rely on third party plug ins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool has provided our company with a flexible tool that provides enhanced dashboards, along with a centralized location to pull ad hoc reporting. In addition to saving us time, it has allowed us to identify important trends and metrics in much less time than it would have taken using the traditional spreadsheet approach.
Great tool for analysing the main insights about client's competence
What do you like best about the product?
Regarding the dashboard, I really appreciate the easy way to create different kinds of graphics depending on the information that we want to share. Also, the option to duplicate a file or a single widget makes the work easier and faster. It’s a great point that we can organise the dashboard with as many files as we want to.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more variety of designs in the dashboard in relation to the titles and their typography.
It's not practic that every excel document needs to have the same structure for working properly.

We can analyse the global business environment of the client in an easy and clear way, and it's a good way to detect the key insights of the client and the competitive sector.
