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

Excellent technology for visualizing data
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to import data from multiple sources makes it very versatile. If there is a key that can be referenced to connect the data between the sources, the data can be collated and merged with great ease. The variety of data that it accepts also makes it very attractive - varieties of databases, individual files, even major web services from Google, Amazon, Salesforce, etc, can all be added into a single data cube and connected together1.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve that comes with figuring out Sisense - mainly the UI. This is a hefty product with a great deal of features/capabilities, so this is to be expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with Sisense via Insights on Maximizer - a CRM platform that handles Address Book, Leads, Opportunities, Customer Service cases, etc. This solves the problem of consolidating bulky filtering UIs into a very simple interactive dashboard that achieves the same thing with a couple of clicks. It also offers a great deal of visual graphs and reports that would otherwise take a great deal of configuration and programming to achieve.
Sisense analytics gives a great overview of our organization's data
What do you like best about the product?
The graphs are really neat in their presentation and allow us several ways of viewing the analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first, it seemed that integrating with our organization's spreadsheets would be a simple thing to do, but this has proven to be quite difficult - with changes by Google to their Google Sheets API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track behaviour change of users who come to our sites. Sisense allows us to easily review their responses to courses, quizzes and surveys, and lets us see where users might have dropped off, perhaps because content is too complex or needs to be explained in more detail.
Sisense is easy to start build dashboards and reports.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and fast to build dashboards. Very nice for start with BI.
What do you dislike about the product?
They were few minor things that I didn't like, but it I can't reckon anything now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit was that we could answer client questions very easy and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Choose Sisense because it relatively easy, and nice administrate.
Changed the way we were thinking of business analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Reduced the complexity of having a consolidated dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
Specific skilling is needed for operating Sisense, so little tough to get trained people on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an e-commerce product company. In very high-level language, we are getting a clearly picture of the conversion ratio. It has helped in evaluating the loss and profit margins when platform fluctuate. We can visualise easily in Sisense.
Powerful BI tool that is also easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is clear and easy to use and the data design tools are powerful and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a resource hog and needs a lot of power under the hood to run. Not sure how it compares to other BI tools in that regard so it may just be the nature of the amount of data being used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a ton of data and needed a way to pull it all together and try to gain some insight into where we were strongest and where we were weakest. Sisense has made it possible to sort through all of that.

Good overall. Sisense Support team was very helpful.
What do you like best about the product?
Jayson Yurcho was very helpful. We were working on a project with tight timeline and wanted to make sure certain features are provided to the clients. Jayson provided us scripts and/or elasticube changes and other ways to achieve the desired functionality. Sisense is useful for visualizing data and provides a variety of chart options. The ability to use scripting to do additional changes makes sisense very useful. Also, the Sisense API makes it very useful for white labeling and integration into an enterprise solution. Sisense also has the abstraction layer called the elasticube. This allows us to make dashboards that need special elasticubes. Especially, some of our dashboards had strict security requirements which were met by making special elasticubes. This made it possible for us to do some of our most complex dashboards, especially those with highly proprietary and secure data which had strict sharing requirements
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense sorting in pivot tables/tables is very poor. When more than one item is used in columns, the values cannot be sorted directly by ascending or descending, but keep sorting within the grouping. This is a major disadvantage in using the dashboard. Clients pointed this out, and all we could say was export to excel. We want the clients to work in the dashboard and not in excel,
Sisense versions change very quickly and not everything seems backward compatible. Especially, all the scripting that is done.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is very good and easy to use. Looks nice and professional. Scripting and API make it more powerful.
