Customizable Javascript enables users to add more features to the visualization. REST APIs for all actions and data points. Solid data security Layer
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting dashboard to PDFs. Multi-node Linux deployment is not matured enough.

My Roller Coaster ride with Sisense
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is one of the strongest players in BI space with a solid data layer in elasticube and cool visualisations. The elasticube layer is something that most of the BI tools does not have and a unique differentiator for Sisense. The visualisation suite is very cool and plugins adds more options to it. The REST APIs layer enables the developers to automate items avoiding manual intervention and JS APIs helps in the embedding side of things. The security aspect of Sisense is exceptional - the ability to add rules at a data and dashboard level gives enough grip and solidity. The support system is also commendable. The tools like narratives and pulse are just out of the box features with Sisense which help us in deriving valuable insights and alerting systems respectively. Having High Availability model in BI tools is a boon to have and this is available in Sisense.
Overall, Sisense is a perfect BI solution with an extensive set of features to help understand the data and make necessary decisions.

No major items to dislike but few things can be improved to what we have now to enable more better experience.
1. Linux Model in HA needs more focus in terms of hardware, setup and installation.
2. Documentation can be more precise and can provide more clarity with in-depth details
3. Availability of all monitoring metrics to the end customers

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complicated data visualization which we cannot create in our CRM
Amazing tool for visualizing data
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is fantastic for visualizing data. Once a dashboard it set up, team members can easily filter to the data they need and export to PDF. This has helped us deliver tremendous value to our clients by slicing and dicing the data and reporting on things we were never able to combine and report on before. We can also do this so much more efficiently and timely. The number of questions i receive from my team has decreased because they can do find and pull the data themselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting - currently exporting to PDF is tricky. I often have to go into the dashboard and adjust columns, then preview my DPF, then adjust columns again prior to exporting to PDF. It would be fantastic if there was a fit to page option. Additionally, being able to export to PPT would be invaluable.
the elasticubes are very complex making it difficult to train up on how to build dashboards.

What do you dislike about the product?
- lack SQL possibility (easily to maintain)
- when upgrading system , dashboards crashed
- server down when too much CPU instead of killing the instance that takes too much CPU
- when creating a widget , I always click on advanced configuration and would like to skip this useless step ( I don't know any user that use the "simple configuration"
- need more customization of widget ( makes number appears only for certain spline and not all ect...)
- widget layout customization takes a lot of human time by (inserting javascript , lots of click to go to the script ect....)
- auto scale for graphing doesn't always work efficiently

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
fewer query to our data warehouse : we build cubes which make single query to our amazon warehose and plug all our dashboards on it so dashboards are refreshing faster than before ( before we had one query to our datawarehouse for every widget and dashboards were taking forever ton run each time we changed dashboards' filter )
Recommendations to others considering the product:
be sure it fits your need because you can't make easy SQL query once you have build your cube
Sisense has been a game changer for us
What do you like best about the product?
The customizations have been very useful and personalizing each dashboard for my staff is awesome. The ease of use of the front end for my staff is also a plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
How only admins can modify the cube, not designers. Forcing those who design to request assistance from the admins for simple task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating automatic delivery of data/reports to staff who were once manually going in filling out spreadsheets on a daily bases taking up time.
