Flexible product with great customer support.

I really have enjoyed working with the people at Sisense. They truly make it feel like a partnership and have your best interest in mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of our use cases are not within the mainstream purposes of Sisense. Although it has been flexible and we are able to make it work, some development has taken longer than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our customers needed a dashboard capability to view many aspects of their airline in a single view. With Sisense, we have been able to do that and also create more reports specifically tailored to each client.

TV and WEB media performance analysis, product performance, etc. Quick dashboard building capabilities allows analyze data in a timely manner - great for new product launch performance analysis.
Simple to Use, Excellent data for all sorts of groups
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. It is very easy to use. There is plenty of documentation to get your started. Able to provide data to all levels of employees that suits their needs. Ability to quickly spin up a report for nearly any purpose or group of people. I love the ability to be able to connect multiple sources of data that would normally not be able to accomplish without a dbms.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Elasticube has some issues. If you have a lot of data tables(20+), unless you create a layout outside of cube to placement of tables, the cube can get very complex to review. I wish you could color the background to indicate what types of data were in that area. The weird zoom in and zoom out when you add a new table is an annoyance.
Dashboards load low when using a Virtual Machine. Unsure if this is an Us problem or a Sisense problem.
Dashboards don't understand Timestamps, Day of week order, month order, weekdays, other types of day/time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have stopped using excel to report agent level metrics. Originally only supervisors and management had access to agent metrics. Now all agents can view their stats and the performance of their teams. We are able to provide more data and larger date ranges of data, whereas this would have been limited in Excel and more so with outlook (max 12 MB file size). The benefits are not just at the agent level, but also the financial level.

One stop shop for all your reporting needs.
Sisense Provides Great Data Visualization Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Sisense for several years and I really like some of the new features they've added to this latest version. My new favorite features:
1.) data security by user group- allows scoping of data based on the group to which a user is assigned
2.) table views of data that are easily exported to CSV for Excel
3.) One button print to PDF for all users
My favorite features since our initial launch:
1.) Response times for large data sets - It's amazing how much faster Sisense Elasticubes are at filtering large datasets than an MS SQL query
2.) Ease of importing multiple data sources on any sort of recurring schedule
3.) Ability to create formula based data tables and columns in an Elasticube using other imported tables
4.) Ease of installation on our own hosted cloud platform
5.) Number of official and third party plug-ins

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few areas I'd like to see some improvement in for the Sisense platform. Personally I'd like to see some flexibility of join types within an Elasticube to something other than just "inner". I'd also like to see more granularity with the built-in map widgets. For the United States, the maps only go as far down as state level. I'd love to see county and zip code maps become an integrated widget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use Sisense to track key performance indicators of state organizations related to probation and parole. These KPIs are now easily tracked across date ranges and states with ease. In addition to KPIs, Sisense allows us to get a high level view of the demographic breakdown of our data sets that wasn't easily possible before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SIsense is currently a WYSIWYG implementation for designing and building dashboards. So if you're used to more of a studio environment where you design and then publish to the web, this will take some getting used to. The WYSIWYG development does have a few short comings in terms of customization.
A great experience with SiSense product and support
What do you like best about the product?
I like the engagement of the on boarding team and the customer success team. The features and the plugins are fantastic and although it is our first months I feel confident that we would be able to fulfill our expectations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The plugins are an issue especially when a new version has been released. It could help if the plugins functionality would become part of the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to get an insight of unemployment though the building of EOM snap-shots of unemployment where data is constantly changing along the months/years and we can now use in the historical data to get an overall insights along the years.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Sisense to others. It is best that one gets a proof of concept with the help of the Sisense Support team to get a good feel of whether it meets all your requirements.
