I was looking into some of our business operations with tow truck companies. I focused on evaluating turnaround times for tow trucks to arrive on-site for accidents and how long it took them to clear compared to other tow truck companies. Essentially, I was comparing responsiveness among different tow truck companies.

What do you like best about the product?
Support is great. Always respond in a timely manner and have had some great support engineers help troubleshoot our issues.

Allowing multiple sources of data to come together to power visually appealing dashboards.
Great product for embedded analytics, but lacks cross DB joins

Great Customer Service
What do you like best about the product?
The customer service team. I am still learning the ins and outs from a technical standpoint but the support we have with the Sisense team makes me feel like they completely have our backs, are consultative, and are committed to helping make sure that our dashboards and reporting are a success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of. I'm still learning the technicalities and the ins and outs of it.
I definitely feel like we're not taking advantage of all the features as much as we should be so I'm hoping that will ramp up throughout the year as we increase adoption of our reporting dashboards.

We had an in-house system before but using Sisense allows us to use our development resources elswhere.
Interactive
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is a powerful and flexible business intelligence (BI) platform known for its ability to handle complex data modeling and provide scalable analytics. It supports both live and in-chip (ElastiCube) data models, offering versatility depending on performance and latency needs.
The platform excels in embedding analytics, making it ideal for companies that want to offer white-labeled dashboards or integrate insights directly into customer-facing applications. The drag-and-drop UI is user-friendly for business users, while developers and data teams can leverage custom SQL, Python/R scripts, and APIs for more advanced needs.
Sisense’s Live Data Models connect directly to cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift, allowing real-time insights without needing to move data. However, performance can depend heavily on how well the models are designed and how queries are structured.
Pros:
Strong embedded analytics capabilities
Flexible data modeling with Live and ElastiCube options
Scalable architecture suitable for large datasets
Customization via APIs, plugins, and scripting

Effective dashboards streamline business operation analysis
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The Sisense solution was very easy to set up, and its visualizations were effective. Creating dashboards was straightforward and it didn't take long to understand how the tool works, making it intuitive. Additionally, it offers two ways to access data: by cubing the data or hitting it live. Using the last two cubes for data visualization made more sense for efficiency.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see an improvement in the live data connection, specifically making the process faster.
Additionally, incorporating more self-service capabilities would benefit the product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Sisense for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There was no downtime reported with the solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I did not encounter any scalability issues. However, the Security appeared a bit cumbersome for maintenance.
How are customer service and support?
During the process, I had a fully dedicated resource on my team, and I engaged with them twice a week. The support was very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I evaluated ThoughtSpot. Ultimately, I chose ThoughtSpot due to its superior self-service capabilities, despite Sisense having slightly better dashboarding.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was very straightforward. As this was a proof of concept, I was able to access test databases easily.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There was no significant difference in pricing between Sisense and ThoughtSpot. They were practically dead even from a pricing perspective.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I also evaluated ThoughtSpot. Sisense had better dashboarding capabilities, but ThoughtSpot's self-service capabilities were the deciding factor.
What other advice do I have?
For teams already using tools like MicroStrategy, which also use cubes, Sisense could serve as an easy transition offering more capabilities.
I would rate Sisense an eight out of ten.
SiSense is the right tool for us
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease with which our developers have learn to master the platform, the number of features (i.e. connection manager) and the ease of integration (i.e. Git)
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of maintenance windows that are needed, although they are significally less than our previous tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
visualization on employee metrics, focused on the amount of data that has been centrilized and made available across the company.
