What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

Great product, service could improve

Business Intelligence benefits are felt across the business
Sisense analytics gives a great overview of our organization's data
What do you like best about the product?
The graphs are really neat in their presentation and allow us several ways of viewing the analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first, it seemed that integrating with our organization's spreadsheets would be a simple thing to do, but this has proven to be quite difficult - with changes by Google to their Google Sheets API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track behaviour change of users who come to our sites. Sisense allows us to easily review their responses to courses, quizzes and surveys, and lets us see where users might have dropped off, perhaps because content is too complex or needs to be explained in more detail.
Sisense is easy to start build dashboards and reports.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and fast to build dashboards. Very nice for start with BI.
What do you dislike about the product?
They were few minor things that I didn't like, but it I can't reckon anything now.

The biggest benefit was that we could answer client questions very easy and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Choose Sisense because it relatively easy, and nice administrate.
Changed the way we were thinking of business analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Reduced the complexity of having a consolidated dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
Specific skilling is needed for operating Sisense, so little tough to get trained people on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an e-commerce product company. In very high-level language, we are getting a clearly picture of the conversion ratio. It has helped in evaluating the loss and profit margins when platform fluctuate. We can visualise easily in Sisense.
Powerful BI tool that is also easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is clear and easy to use and the data design tools are powerful and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a resource hog and needs a lot of power under the hood to run. Not sure how it compares to other BI tools in that regard so it may just be the nature of the amount of data being used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a ton of data and needed a way to pull it all together and try to gain some insight into where we were strongest and where we were weakest. Sisense has made it possible to sort through all of that.
