Great BI Tool that also allows for Data Modeling
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense has standard BI dashboard functionality and in addition to connecting to data sources via a live model you can bring the data into sisense and model it there (with a visual model) without requiring a data warehouse. We need both options and so its incredibly helpful. Many tools don't have that option. They also have great customer support. Tickets are answered quickly and the staff are all very helpful. They are an important partner of ours.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am very happy with Sisense overall and they best fit our needs. One thing I would benefit greatly from would be if we could have dynamic pulse alerts on pivot tables rather than on a single metric/indicator. Some other small features would be helpful such as the ability to impersonate a user (as the admin) and shared dashboard owners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense serves two main purposes for us. 1) As our front-end BI tool where we have many dashboards in order for different stakeholders to be able to monitor their respective KPIs and 2) as a datawarehouse of sorts where we can model data from different sources together for visualization.

What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve for advanced features: While the basic interface is easy to grasp, leveraging more advanced functionalities like custom scripting and complex data modeling can require significant technical expertise. This can hinder productivity and limit utilization by less technical users.
Pricing flexibility concerns: Sisense's pricing structure can be complex and, for smaller businesses with limited budgets, it can be perceived as less cost-effective compared to some competitors. The per-user pricing model can quickly add up as team size grows.
Limited data governance: Some users report challenges with managing data access and permissions, particularly in collaborative environments. The platform could benefit from more robust governance features to ensure data security and compliance.
Documentation gaps: While Sisense offers resources and tutorials, some users find the documentation can be inconsistent or lack specifics for certain features, leading to frustration and troubleshooting difficulties.
Performance limitations: Depending on the complexity of your data and dashboard design, performance issues can arise, particularly in on-premises deployments with limited resources.
Lack of some advanced analytics features: Compared to some comprehensive BI platforms, Sisense may lack functionalities in areas like advanced statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and data mining.

Love it
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of putting a dashboard together. The widgets drag and drop feature is extremely easy for simple aggregated data. The knowledge base and customer service are a great help as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are not familiar with JavaScript, it may be a bit difficult to customize the dashboard with the scripts from the knowledge base. Sometimes the help techs are in a different time zone, so response time can be a little slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The dashboards are used as an overview of daily data and shows trends.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anything to do with costs, time constraint tasks and general flow of data in the company
Very flexible and feature-rich BI tool
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is very flexible and feature-rich, has connectors for pretty much any digital data source one could imagine, so very easy to integrate to any of your existing data source tools. Their customer support is also outstanding, and even though the tool is pretty straightforward and easy to use, they really do want to make sure that their customers get the most that they can from the tool. Our users here have quickly come to rely upon the reporting capabilities multiple times per day.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be some improvments in "picture-perfect" reporting capabilities. All the basic charts and graph types exist, and there is a rich java-script capability that allows a lot of individual control to those charts and graphs (line weights, colors, hiding certain columns of data, etc); but, the java-scripting does require a lot more skill to use than the standard UI controls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access to data, integration of data from multiple sources, faster and more accurate business decisions.
User Friendly Application
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense allows users to quickly and easily get information in a very user-friendly format. We use this daily in our operations to pull and update numbers to stay on top of productivity. If you are familiar with SQL, it is very easy to create and set up queries that display information in many different formats. The output of data has numerous choices such as numbers, charts, and graphs that make the visual appearance that much more interactive. If we encounter any issues, Sisnece customer support is very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an option for totals for Cohort Grids.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to take data and put it in a visual format that helps us run our business.
Very easy to use, but it brings so much insight to our data
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to create reports. We work with multiple customers configuring reports and Sisense allows us to leverage the same cube, but create different widgets that really allow them to spot trends. The improved AI capabilities offer great insights into the vast amounts of data that we share. We are able to integrate not only our data but outside data and create reports off of the combined data sets.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the support team is helpful, I have found that our items often take a long time to get resolved, if they get resolved at all. Fortunately, the quality of the product is much better than it was many years ago, so we have very few open bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our solutions deal with hundreds of thousands of transaction lines to millions of transaction lines. We need to be able to not only share the information with our outsourced customers but provide them insight into what is going on with their data.
Reporting Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I at first was new to the reporting world having zero exp in creating data cubes, creating widgest and putting data into a layout that looked presentable. Sisense came easy to me and if i ever hit a road block their site had loads of information to help guide me or their tech support was easy to schdule a meeting with so they could assist. My Customer Success Manager at Sisense Makhate always make me feel like a top priority when i reach out.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. I find this product great and easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to pull in data from multiple different sources in order to generate reports for both company analytics as well as export reports to share with our clients that is easy to understand and be visualy appealing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool and after spending some time learning everything it quickly becomes second nature.
I have consistently enjoyed and advocated for Sisense amongst my peers.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the SQL and Python integration rather than a bespoke querying language. Customer Support is top not as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of customization within the canned visual set can be challenging. Lack of settings related to case sensitivity is also a mior nit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary value is speed to delivery. I build many bespoke visualizations for short term goals.
