Sisense is a very dynamic and flexible tool for business analytics needs
What do you like best about the product?
Playing around with data from different data sources, changing visualization types and filtering on multiple levels is very convenient/easy. Adding to the ElastiCube behind the data model is also convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Meaningfully connecting different data sources can be a challenge at times, and a source for lots of issues and bugs. Naming and labeling of data isn't always MECE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Various business analytics problems within the renewable energy sector. Mostly trying to gain deeper insight into trends & patterns on extremely large data sets.
Sisense gets 90% of visualizations with ease
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create a basic table from source data and filter or turn into a chart.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are limitations with the chart and table capabilities that make certain pivots and visualizations impossible. There are very advanced plugins and custom solutions for these but it isn't always the case that they work or can be implemented without a lot of work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating visualizations and pivots for AI model performance data and also representing results of inspection data captured in the field through cleaner visuals for customers to make their own analytics and draw their own conclusions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
streamlined and more effective way to get visualizations quickly
Sisense is a useful tool for data analysis and business insights. But it is quite buggy.
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense does a pretty good job at doing the basics; database querying, creating data models, creating dashboards from those data models, etc. In terms of doing the minimum for any data analysis software, it does it's job just fine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense is full of strange, often unidentifiable or non-reproduce-able bugs. Many of these are related to a buggy UI/UX, others have to do with dashboards returning errors with no insight on the source. Additionally, the custom EC tool can use a few key features:
- a way to select boolean logic for join conditions
- join options for tables (non-default inner joins)
- a way to select boolean logic for join conditions
- join options for tables (non-default inner joins)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving business problems related to optimizing the blades / damages problem in the wind industry. There are plenty of benefits to building dashboards that draw conclusions on the kind of actions that O&Ms of wind farms should take.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is best for those without extensive knowledge and experience in SQL querying. For more experienced users, there are likely other software that allow for more freedom.
Supportive and adaptive analytics solution for any market sector
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense's client success team has been extremely helpful to our team as we're learning how to leverage all available tools, in the most optimal way possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're currently navigating some performance concerns - it's hard to speak much on the root cause, but it's disappointing that our instance didn't work out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to give more data-based solutions to our customers by leveraging tools with Sisense - right now, we've realized that statement is possible, but we want to optimize performance before we're able to present these analytic solutions to our existing customers
Basic analytics are easy, but widget types are limited and buggy
What do you like best about the product?
Managing your data in elasticubes is easy to pull in from varied locations
What do you dislike about the product?
Often buggy, more so on the dashboarding side with different widget types and UI. Generic widget types are limited in functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping our customers manage their data for trends and prioritization. Financially has helped teams be more effective with prioritization
Good idea, needs a little more work to make it more intuitive and faster
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to pull in multiple datasets, rearrange data, and ease of data organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Live models and even complex/large elasticubes can be slow. I would love easier ways to make custom designs (the Blox) as well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pulling and visualizing sensitive data and being able to restrict certain parts to certain groups. This has become our main reporting tool to clients.
My Review of Sisense
What do you like best about the product?
When Sisense works it effectively provides self-service analytics to our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The on-prem versions of Sisense have had reoccurring stability issues, which lowered our confidence in the product as an enterprise solution. The communication on needed upgrades was also limited and this made it difficult to manage the product.
I am hopeful that their cloud environment might be able to ameliorate some of our concerns.

Building dashboards to create macro insights from our data.
Tangoe Sisense Revie
What do you like best about the product?
Inuitiative look and feel. I love that you can create so easily a new dashboard and it is all connected and drillable. The point and click aspects are easy to use and customers are impressed with the look of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Items I dislike are:
- every join is an "inner join" by default so sometimes creating the table structures makes it difficult to do certain types of reports
- modifying sytling (font, bold, colors, etc.) is not really available within each widget.
- more language and currency support
- Every plugin that looks like a great feature is actually a very expensive 3rd party plugin. Things like forecasting have neat features but don't actually give much help to customers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An out of the box, good looking, clickable set of dashboards is very valuable for our customers.
Being able to build new dashboards quickly and deploy without R&D interventions is a big deal to get solutions to our customers quicker.

Experience using Sisense for about a year.
What do you like best about the product?
The customization in SIsense is a plus for us. We often can work together to customer something to make it look the way we want.
What do you dislike about the product?
The latest security lead with Sisense was a big headache for our organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a consultant, creating visualizations for customers to gain insights from their own data joining many varied sources. Visualizations aren't too complicated but realized value with adding instructional guides through the text/image embedding capabilities.
