Sisense BI - an early IT Analyst's Perspective/Review
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense Business Intelligence was our company's go to choice for internal analytics as well as embedded analytics for customer access. The web based architecture is easy to edit/rebrand without much coding experience. The Elasticube is easy to import data from many sources and keep as a SSOT (single source of truth) for data schemas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboard designers have the power to design advanced level formulas and calculations that can be over bearing. Data transformation is limited and this needs to be done in the DB level / cube level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Customer visibility - Access high level dashboards and reports from live data. Greater insight into merchandise, inventory, shipping, etc.
2. Internal users - greater insight into data - Warehouse, inventory, reports, raw data
3. Can answer many questions on their own from the dashboards- even creates questions with answers into items never explored

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A quick look at our data without having to building cumbersome reports.
BI Tool for today's market
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is very easy to setup and use, if you are familiar with warehouse, star schema, analysis cube concepts and basic BI concepts, this tool, installation, development and usage is pretty much self explanatory, if you are not aware of these concepts, you have account manager, technical and support staff, and online documentation available to easily pick concepts and topics
What do you dislike about the product?
Most BI tools are either dependent on data analysis on relational database (warehouse) others (like Sisense) work best with its own data layer (Elasticube), its a matter of ROLAP vs MOLAP, I think its about time some tool, hopefully Sisense takes a stab at HOLAP (Hybrid) approach so data-to-intelligence/analysis time is shortened, for some larger datasets, elasticube preparation can take some time, also IMHO, this will help address some of very complex "query path" issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For now we are looking at trends and creating velocity and forecasts dashboards,.

Amazingly powerful and efficient
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to have access to raw data without delay. The charts are clean and easy to produce. Python and R functionality enables you to make more complex graphs and do more sophisticated analysis than raw SQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how hard it is to move charts within a dashboard. If you have to rearrange sections of dashboards, it takes minutes of scrolling and shifting the reordering window. I suggest adding functionality to be able to move groups of charts together.

Great data analytics tool - not the best design
What do you like best about the product?
We used Periscope Data for internal data analytics within a lot of our departments. In my department, we used it to keep track of customer subscriptions and customer professional service resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating custom data charts was a bit complicated, and the look and feel (design) of Periscope was not great. It was laggy sometimes, but that may have been because it was pulling data from Salesforce.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using data to perform data-driven decisions. Utilizing data to determine hiring needs, potential problems or shortcomings of a department or specific team member, etc.
