Great tool for easily creating clean and useful dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use! I had never been exposed to a BI tool like this before, but I was able to learn how to do basic things relatively quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say at this point. My job has been more focused on other things, so I haven't had a lot of time to do much experimenting with Sisense. I have liked what I've seen so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One thing that I consider to be a huge benefit is the fact that the it's connected to the database so the dashboards update automatically.
A useful and easy to use software
What do you like best about the product?
How well it embeds into other softwares, the one click sign on works incredibly well and we are able to brand dashboards effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using it effectively requires upfront knowledge, the platform whilst for the most part is straight forward to use, to get the most out of it requires a degree of expertise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense has enabled us to access data at a speed which was previously impossible. It has increased the productivity of my team a huge amount. We are now also able to respond far quicker to data requests from customers which is another great benefit.
Solid BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard level filter and drill features are intuitive and work extremely well. I've used BI tools in the past where these features were either a pain to set up or didn't exist at all. Sisense's ability to filter and drill into data is amazing. Can't remember how I ever got along without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easy way to rotate through dashboards on the displays in our office. Currently I have to use a Google Chrome extension to cycle through URLs, which doesn't work all of the time and I have to set it up again any time there's a Chrome update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we've been able to solve are getting accurate and up-to-date data in front of our team leaders and executives. Prepping for meetings is much easier because we know the data we need is already up-to-date, there's no scrambling trying to compile data beforehand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to reach out to their support when you have issues. We've had great help from the Sisense support team. It's a great value add, so make sure to take advantage of it. They definitely want to make sure you're getting the most from their product.
Useful, Scalable, Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is great for our growing business. We're coming to a point where we really need better visibility of data in our company, and Sisense is quickly filling that need. The tool itself has lots of features and functions to meet your needs, and if there isn't something built natively, odds are someone has created a third party plugin to help you out.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support is lacking. There are great support docs, but the ticket process takes days to get responses to sometimes. Not as quick or easy as a chat bubble.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our executive team needs a single source of truth to make decisions and hold people accountable. Sisense is that source for them!
Sisense Review
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is best at visualization. Easy to create and share the reports with the end users/clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific from improvement perspective we can increase the UI experience
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Client specific reports which refer to business as usual and implement KPI on specific modules
Fairly straight forward BI concepts with a decent documentation set
What do you like best about the product?
Modern concepts of architecture and transparent technologies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of configuration management and sharing concepts are not tightly integrated and at times out of sync with interface expectations. Authors and viewers may not have the same dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating dashboards and widgets for customers revenue projections and more.
Easy to use dashboarding, variety of data connectors, needs work on the back end
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is both advanced and easy. Someone with tons of experience will be happy with Sisense and can accomplish a lot. Someone with no experience can learn on the fly with ease. Their customer service reps, BI consultants, and experienced technical support are the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
The back end data loading, ETL stuff is lacking. It's clear their focus is on the presentation side. Sisense can load data as fast as anyone else. Sisense can load a million rows faster than anyone else can load a million rows, but other tools work smarter. While Sisense is loading a million rows a more efficient tool only needs to load one thousand. Their help desk type employees aren't very effective. It typically takes an escalation to solve a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lots
Great BI solution
What do you like best about the product?
Simple yet powerful customizable dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
might not be too suitable for someone without a technical background
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting visibility of product logs data and visualizing them in a presentable dashboard is a little challenge, and Sisense works well to potentially help my customer in this area
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product to prep and visualize your complex data, and make a better analysis of your data. A powerful BI solution to get visibility for business growth, hence allow you to make a better data-driven decisions and improve your business process outcome
Perspective of a Software Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
I have very much enjoyed how easy it has been to integrate with our system. My team had little trouble getting data from our system into Sisense. Using Sisense, we have been able to generate reports that have allowed our organization to gain valuable insight into various aspects of our system. Visualizing system usage with Sisense has been very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, it has been difficult to fit our data into Sisense data models. However, with the help of Sisense consultants, we have been able to make it work for us. Even with the occasional difficulty, we have found a lot of value in using Sisense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are gaining insight into how our customers are benefiting from our system, how various aspects of our platform work for our customers and their users, and what aspects of our system we can improve. This has allowed us to operate much more efficiently. Our customers generate a lot of data. Before Sisense, we had no good way to visualize and understand that data. The insight we have gained since using Sisense has been immensely valuable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While it has generally been very easy to get our data into Sisense, and to generate meaningful reports, there have been a few instances where we have had difficulties fitting our data nicely into Sisense Elasticubes. Thankfully, Sisense gave us several hours of consultant time to help us make the best use of our installation. I very strongly recommend taking advantage of those consulting hours. It is worth the time.
Great Client Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense allows us to take client data from across industries and client types to combine and gain really valuable insights around trends and how our clients compare to others in the industry.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downside...have to get to know the tool pretty well to create new reports...but not overly difficult to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to aggregate data from multiple systems and clients to show trends and gain valuable insights to share with clients.
