What do you dislike about the product?
Here are some of the things I have found concerning:
I have noticed a few bugs with the plugins but nothing major so far
When we upgrade to a new version, the dashboards do not work the way they are expected to
There could be an automation for directly moving dashboards and Elasticubes from one environment to another.
The documentation can be improved
Sisense is a little too expensive I believe.

Sisense For Next Generation Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is a tool that helps providing great visualization. The cube functionality is back bone for this. Also it storage meta data into the mongodb that helps the performance tracking of dashboards. The are really great visualization, tabber functionality, connecting R and Python and doing time series analysis over here is super. It is very easy to create a cube and dashboard over it. It is like plug in. There is additional capability like creating your customer addon on java script and appending into this. There one additional awesome feature that is adding the other source dashboard into the sisense via iframe. It uses simple odbc connection. There is solid community support as well as well explain documents about its functionality. If I talk about data connection then it support most of the connection like excel, good sheet, custom query, redshift, sql etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is few constrain like case when doesn't support character data for condition. There is very few functionality of machine learning aspects etc. It is required to have more chart from d3 library. There is additional functionality required that can solve the problem of olap (online analytical processing) problems. Like defining the dimension. layer, hierarchy etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is used for reporting the all the possible business question a business leader can ask. It is very easy to use and very intuitive to understand. Business leaders with no tech experience, liked it very much.

As an user , i feel sometimes formulae used in widgets are not quite understandable.Apart from that creating dashboard initially has some level of understanding about widgets.Many times i had to take help to understand it.Once we are well versed then it is easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Stability:
Most of the time, the main problem has been the stability of the application. Almost 90% of users has reported slowness of the issues. It could be due to the bad design of the datasources or dashboards. But, it has been a consistent problem.
Intermittent build failures due to various reasons has been a consistent problem.
Intermittently sisense shows wrong build status. After refresh, it shows correct.
Functionality:
Derived metrics (formulaes) cannot be created and stored at datasource level. So it has to be recreated for every dashboard that uses the same elasticube.
Migration (promoting dashboards and datasources to higher environments):
There could have been more smooth approach for migration.

Excellent technology for visualizing data
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to import data from multiple sources makes it very versatile. If there is a key that can be referenced to connect the data between the sources, the data can be collated and merged with great ease. The variety of data that it accepts also makes it very attractive - varieties of databases, individual files, even major web services from Google, Amazon, Salesforce, etc, can all be added into a single data cube and connected together1.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve that comes with figuring out Sisense - mainly the UI. This is a hefty product with a great deal of features/capabilities, so this is to be expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with Sisense via Insights on Maximizer - a CRM platform that handles Address Book, Leads, Opportunities, Customer Service cases, etc. This solves the problem of consolidating bulky filtering UIs into a very simple interactive dashboard that achieves the same thing with a couple of clicks. It also offers a great deal of visual graphs and reports that would otherwise take a great deal of configuration and programming to achieve.
Great for simple visuals, and can be expanded with eCube customizations. Limitations on the user-facing formulas can be a problem.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is more of a common style at this point. Speed is good initially, but can be bogged down on larger datasets. the newer release has improved Excel export speed considerably, but the dashboards themselves can be slow to load. The plugin library has been expanded, though we have found many require coding - simple enough but many users are not capable of doing that for ad-hoc reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The clear expectation of the developers is that report authors would be technical resources with access to the eCube. User-facing report development UI still does not include formula logic for non-numeric results. No "Left(, 5)" to get the beginning of a string; that would need to be done at the eCube level as a new reportable field.
Support for the Windows version of the software has lagged considerably, though new development on Linux continues. Some additions to the UI for formatting (like adding a checkbox for word wrap) has happened, but not extensively. Many text formatting options still require writing little widget scripts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Legal case management and spend management. The insights into spending trends are very easy to do, visually pleasing and dynamic. Simple assessments, such as viewing bill subtotals over time grouped by vendor, or by state, as extremely simple. Our clients have greatly enjoyed Sisense as an improvement over the old in-house reporting tool. There is still a lot with JAQL and R we have not yet tapped. I expect we will expand the use cases for this tool over the coming year, as we discover new ways to employ it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The market for dashboarding tools is a moving and vibrant one right now. Sisense is a great option for quick dashboarding, especially if you will need to work with the vendor to adapt the tool to your needs. Sisense the company has been helpful and responsive as we adopted it; providing very good support along the way.
Sisense is an important enabler of our Analytics Products

We're moving away from on-prem Windows to Linux managed service.
