Sisense Fusion Analytics Platform

In my organization, we use Sisense  for business intelligence, and it helps us with complex data from multiple sources and provides excellent insights, which makes it easy for us to make data-driven decisions.

Sisense  solves a major issue like lack of actionable analytics, where we mainly use it for tracking all our key performance indicators and optimizing our sales pipelines for the future.

Sisense helps us monitor performance metrics and make informed decisions quickly, and it also helps us in creating reports for better understanding. It helps us to build dashboards for sales, marketing, and operations easily.

It is excellent for creating interactive dashboards that non-technical users can navigate, and it is also great for handling our extremely large data sets. For example, in our marketing teams, large data sometimes leads to slower performance that is frustrating.

Sisense has numerous valuable features to offer, with the fastest being its in-chip methodology, where large quantities of data can be loaded in a few seconds, which does not seem possible with other tools.

Customer support is straightforward and responsive, and data discovery is exceptional. Big data services are amazing and secure, and the easy integration of APIs is beneficial.

The in-chip methodology is very effective because it allows millions of data points to be loaded in a few seconds and processed, enabling us to make data-driven decisions through the insights gained.

Sisense has positively impacted my organization as it has been one of the best tools available. I believe this is true because of its effectiveness. Since we can connect multiple data sources, we are able to make data-driven decisions more easily, and we have improved our marketing and sales strategies.

There are some functionalities missing regarding built-in capabilities, which can only be added by using JavaScript, requiring technical knowledge from the dashboard designer to implement.

Additionally, technical support does not easily remote into our instances if we are hosting ourselves to diagnose issues quickly.

Sisense could have better connections to digital marketing tools, but I understand they are working on that.

I have been using Sisense for four years and a few months.

Sisense can process more data and has consistently better performance than other modern business intelligence tools, successfully retaining the best of the cube world and providing the power of a modern in-chip visualization engine, making it more valuable than other alternatives we evaluated in my organization.

My advice for others looking into using Sisense is that it is well-suited for rapid data mashup for massive data sets and self-service business intelligence deployment with a very smooth user experience. I give this product a rating of eight out of ten.

Sisense can be improved as the usability of the application on mobile devices needs some improvement, especially navigation and filtering. Dashboards that are created by multiple users can be a bit of a hassle to share by the admins.

I would also add that there is no proper metrics regarding dashboards, tables, use, and workloads, effects optimization, and schema size.

The web version of the ElastiCube Manager does not do everything that the desktop application does and should be improved.

A specific example of how I use Sisense for tracking KPIs and optimizing our sales pipeline is that it helps us monitor performance metrics and make informed decisions quickly, while also aiding in the creation of reports for a better understanding of our business processes and overall performance.

I emphasized the In-Chip methodology because it allows for accessing millions of data in a short span of seconds while providing the best visual effects for our business data.

Sisense is easy to set up and connect to various formats and platforms, but it could improve its management strategy for dashboards created by multiple users, reducing complexity and enhancing security. Additionally, since Sisense is a heavy application, caution is necessary when deploying this powerful tool in a resource that meets system requirements to avoid performance delays.

I think the navigation and filtering options could enhance the mobile version, but Sisense needs to work on the layout to improve user experience.

A specific outcome after implementing Sisense is improving our sales results, reducing manual work, and achieving a higher-performing querying capability.

What do you like best about the product?

How easy it makes working with complex data. It pulls information from multiple sources into one place and turns it into clear, interactive dashboards that are actually useful.

What do you dislike about the product?

The initial setup and data modeling can take some time to get right, especially if your data environment is complex. Some advanced features also have a learning curve, so new users may need training before they feel fully comfortable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sisense helps solve the problem of disconnected, hard-to-understand data. Before using it, we were juggling multiple spreadsheets, databases, and siloed reports that didn’t talk to each other, which made it difficult to get a clear picture. With Sisense, we can bring all of that data together in one place, so we finally have a single source of truth.
