Visually pleasing, but could be simpler
What do you like best about the product?
It has a good range of visualisations, there are some fairly easy to create widgets and duplicating dashboards is simple, allowing a standard framework to be created and repeated easily.
Even with a significant amount of data in the background Sisense reports run quickly which is a huge benefit compared to the previous reporting tools I used before Sisense.
There does appear to be a lot of other integrations available but I haven’t been able to use these yet, however even with the features I have been able to use it does allow for some visually impressive reporting.

What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest challenges I have faced are regarding actually getting started – some things that should be really basic features or visualisations are difficult to use or understand how they work, in comparison to other BI tools. Other basic features I would expect in a BI tool are either missing or at an additional cost.
We also had some initial training delivered by the team at Sisense but this was incredibly difficult to follow and wasn’t tailored to us as a business – it was clear the Sisense team didn’t understand us or our use case, which made the training very high level and alienated a lot of our team.
I also don’t like that you can’t make different “pages” in the reports/dashboards – everything is on one page which means you either need multiple dashboards or one huge dashboard which isn’t ideal when you have a lot of information to deliver and would better deliver the data if it was segmented visually on separate pages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it will make my reporting easier in the long run, but it has taken more time than expected to get up and running, and learning to use the tool has been trickier than expected.

Standardized Dashboards Review
What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to get a new dashboard up-and-running using basic SQL, with pleasant graphs/charts/numbers that are clear and flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's annoying to have to refresh filters for new filter values constantly. Also, it's difficult to navigate between dashboards (when logged in as an editor) in the "Dashboards" left side pane, especially with group names that aren't extremely short
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use Sisense to deploy dashboards to display all or most AI model results to external clients (back in the Periscope days), but now we mostly use it for internal use to build and review multi-tenant dashboards to better understand our models and model performance across clients.
Decent BI tool , but there are lot of better product at market
What do you like best about the product?
Handling large volumn of data, and speed of loading dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't do LEFT / RIGH JOIN in elasticube , also need Javascript even to change font style.
limited function to do custom calculation.
limited function to do custom calculation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our client requires a bespoke report, so we've opted to utilize Sisense as our business intelligence tool.
A good platform for reviewing a plethora of data
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense has a fairly intuitive layout for organizing data and charts. It makes it easy to get to the KPI's my team and I need to evaluate our perfoormance and continue to improve.
What do you dislike about the product?
This may just be where I'm at, but the permission sets can be tricky to navigate when attempting to get access to certain charts or data. Again, that may be ann administrative thing I'm not seeing, or that is just within my organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform allows us to aggregate data into an easy one stop shop for the specific metrics for our team. We also used it to track the cost of a bug that was affecting our platform, which helped us to highlight its importance and get it fixed faster.
Good product but UI doesn't have enough flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
On Periscope, I like the access to flexible charts by using Python.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is not very easy to navigate for creators of reports and users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BI tool used to report and show insights
Works well, but sometimes can be buggy.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how powerful it is. Bringing together multiple data sets from different applications allows me to see customer data in a single dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes random things don't work like creating a stacked bar chart and then attempting to filter by top 10, this just doesn't work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customers previously didn't have a way to visualise data in a few of our applications. After training the customer admins, they can create reports themselves.
Easily Track & Review Metrics
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use, intuitive. I use it everyday to keep track of my daily metrics. It helps me see not only where I am, but see trends in my performance over the long term.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, depending on the amount of data I am pulling, it can take a long time to load. this seems like a msall thing, but it seems to load slowr than comparable apps for other things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am upheld to certain standards of performance and it helps me see, very precisely, where I am at all times regarding those standards. I know exactly where I sit, and if I need improvementin any given area it is easily seen and understood.
Sisense Growth and Partnership
What do you like best about the product?
I've worked with Sisense for over 5 years. The growth in features in response to client requests has continued to expand the capabilities of Sisense. The APIs have been extremely helpful to our teams as well so that we can automate security, shares, and even dashboard creation. Though the switch to live cubes has been difficult and complicated, I love that they are all in on their support of it. They have also been good partners as we have worked through various large migration projects over the years.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though the gaps between Sisense and some of the industry dominators are diminishing, there are still a number of nice to have features that have not made it into Sisense yet. Date management and emta data for instance still requires creating a dates table with direct links in the model where some others have allowed for more general date tables that can be shared across date fields or are maintained in the platform itself. Everything is very deliberate and intentional in the setup of Sisense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense provides us with the ability to get our management teams on the same page about the state of our business and the industry. It also allows us to create sales opportunity to pass on those and other insights to our clients through shared models build across our clients and consolidated to individual clients.
Great tool for embedded analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is relatively easy to use if you are familiar with data visualization. It has a ton of flexibility and the team is really responsive to support requests. Our CSM meets with us once a month to make sure that everything working well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense is pretty expensive compared to some other alternatives. Our contract quote tripled from the previous contract terms, which makes it hard when it's a similar cost to a senior developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sisense to display dashboards to our customers.
