Sisense Very Connected
What do you like best about the product?
The contacts at Sisense are very connected to the customers, very hands-on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I am confused by the product a bit, but the team helps me to work through any issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

Sisense Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of creating dashboards from whatever data we throw at it.
I also like the fact we can throw different sources of data at it to form the dashboards.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when I search the knowledge base I feel it is, I feel it is out of date.
When I follow it step by step it doesn't follow exactly what I see from my deployment.
Also we run it on prem on Linux. I find the knowledge base is lacking on a Linux deployment and sometimes I have to look at the windows version of the article to figure on how to do it on the linux side.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves our problem where our all data is on different sources and sisense is able to combine the data to make sense of it all.
My experience with Sisense
What do you like best about the product?
I like that my work is saved on a server for other people to log in and see from any computer. That way I do not have to worry about sending files and making sure that everyone has the proper software installed
What do you dislike about the product?
I want it to be more user friendly, some people come to it with a background in other tools such as Power BI and have to learn a new interface, so a more familiar layout would help
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am getting data insights from our various datasets and easily relaying them to others in our company. It makes sharing much easier
Would highly recommend Sisense

Sisense
What do you like best about the product?
data visuals are nice and help for presentations
What do you dislike about the product?
not a technical person and so its difficult to troubleshoot the errors which occur frequently
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use it for data reporting, putting together board packages and other material for executive team
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The tool is good but you need to right individuals to help develop it. We switched from one tool to another by replicating what we had and unfortunately didn't have the level of technical expertise to build out something bigger/better.
Very Useful Product
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to customize reports, widgets, charts, etc. in real-time (and in an easily consumable format), then immediately share with my peers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reports can sometimes take a while to load, and the data is not always as current as we'd like. However, this is very specific to our company (and data) since we monitor ad serving and delivery continually throughout the day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense allows more members of our team to easily access relevant data. Non technical users are able to pull reports much more rapidly. It also helps by displaying stats and metrics via various charts, graphs, etc. that can be easily digested (without the need to comb through spreadsheets).
