My Roller Coaster ride with Sisense
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is one of the strongest players in BI space with a solid data layer in elasticube and cool visualisations. The elasticube layer is something that most of the BI tools does not have and a unique differentiator for Sisense. The visualisation suite is very cool and plugins adds more options to it. The REST APIs layer enables the developers to automate items avoiding manual intervention and JS APIs helps in the embedding side of things. The security aspect of Sisense is exceptional - the ability to add rules at a data and dashboard level gives enough grip and solidity. The support system is also commendable. The tools like narratives and pulse are just out of the box features with Sisense which help us in deriving valuable insights and alerting systems respectively. Having High Availability model in BI tools is a boon to have and this is available in Sisense.
Overall, Sisense is a perfect BI solution with an extensive set of features to help understand the data and make necessary decisions.

No major items to dislike but few things can be improved to what we have now to enable more better experience.

Amazing tool for visualizing data
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is fantastic for visualizing data. Once a dashboard it set up, team members can easily filter to the data they need and export to PDF. This has helped us deliver tremendous value to our clients by slicing and dicing the data and reporting on things we were never able to combine and report on before. We can also do this so much more efficiently and timely. The number of questions i receive from my team has decreased because they can do find and pull the data themselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting - currently exporting to PDF is tricky. I often have to go into the dashboard and adjust columns, then preview my DPF, then adjust columns again prior to exporting to PDF. It would be fantastic if there was a fit to page option. Additionally, being able to export to PPT would be invaluable.
the elasticubes are very complex making it difficult to train up on how to build dashboards.

General systems tracking. Have found efficiencies in business operation.
Sisense has been an excellent tool that meets all of our dashboarding needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of building the data in the Elasticubes. It's fantastic. I like the ease of creating/changing dashboards. I have been able to train users to build dashboards in less than an hour.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to easily customize the fonts/colors on dashboards. I get a lot of comments that some of the font is hard to read when added to presentations. Would like to at least be able to resize/recolor the font and adjust the automatic layout of the text.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had completely siloed data. Our users would have to download data from multiple locations and use and Excel spreadsheet to combine all of the data. A lot of time has been saved with Sisense as well as access to much more data than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have used an ETL or dashboarding software in the past you will be blown away at the ease of use of Sisense.
Ease of Use
What do you like best about the product?
From Designer to End User, Sisense allows anyone with basic data skills to build and analyze dashboards with ease. The data visual options provided with Sisense are simple and easy to use to build effective dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The largest downside to Sisense is the difficulty to download PDF's of dashboards while still showing all of the data on just a few pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've only ran into 2 problems while using Sisense.
1. Downloading PDF's of Dashboards that are nice enough to present in a Board Meeting. This is a constant struggling or resizing and adjusting widgets to size.
2. The ability to format numbers for banking terms. In banking, we like to present dollar amounts of loans in terms of MM.
Example $30,000,000 would be 30MM and Sisense does not allow us to format this way without adjusting every dashboard.
