Great Data aggregation and visualizations
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to bring in multiple sources of data into a single Cube, don't need to build a separate data warehouse to combine all the different data sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to write SQL to join data sets where lookup tables are used, otherwise some odd results can occur
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Much improved Program monitoring and reporting. Have been able to identify negative and positive trends through the daily reports and alerts much sooner allowing us to prepare or remediate sooner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep system up to date, updates are made regularly and have new features and fixes. CSMs and AMs are very helpful, use them as needed. Support team is good, very responsive to requests.
Very simple yet detailed in the options you can use to customize your work
What do you like best about the product?
i like the way it flows in dashboard creation
What do you dislike about the product?
It'd be nice to have more sizing and formatting options with margins, gridlines, axis', etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving for more efficient labor force with reps on customer service calls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
similar to Tableau at a fraction of the cost.
Great Tool for Analyzing Very Large Datasets
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to import and combine data from many different data sources. Handles very large with good performance. Ability to create computed fields and computed tables. Can run on commodity servers, virtual machines, or in the cloud. Rich dashboard functionality with many different widgets and filters. Ability to create and save formulas. Good documentation and training. Excellent customer support. Sisense is continually enhancing and improving their product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Buckets must be created as computed fields if you want to use them in filters. Users cannot dynamically define buckets. Developers must be careful to avoid many-to-many relationships. New releases tend to be buggy. Sisense is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are analyzing billions of records of data, and we are developing and deploying Sisense more user-friendly dashboards in a fraction of the time that it used to take us with SSRS. Sisense has empowered many of our analysts to design their own dashboards thus relieving the burden on the development team.
Sisense combine multiple data sources
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is able to pull multiple data sources into one Elaticube and they provide all the connectors that I can think of. Sisense has very nice and easy to use web interface. Business users able to create simple dashboards on their own. I like the Live Connect the most, it solve some of the performance issue that we have on the very large table in the Elasticube. Sisense always add new features. The Sisense support is good, they always response in a reasonable time and most of they can help to solve the problem that we have.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the new versions released with some bugs that prevent us from upgrading to the new version, hope Sisense can improve the QA and release with less major bugs. Sisense can handle large datasets, but still has performance issue for very large datasets, we are having performance issue when table has over 800 million records. instead of spend most of the time on new cool features, Sisense also should spend more time on improve the product itself and make it more usable and add more basic function, even those are not fancy, but a lot of users need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense helps to improve development time and improve dashboard performance. Compare to SSRS, we use a lot less time to implement the same reports in Sisense. Sisense is easy to handle permission, it provide multiple roles so we can assign different permission to different user groups.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is easy to use and it can handle large datasets.
Overall very satisfied with the product and service.
What do you like best about the product?
The data prep/cube manager side is very intuitive and relatively easy for non-developers to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had a few instances of bugs, especially after upgrading versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed my colleagues and clients to analyze massive amounts of data in a clean and intuitive interface.
Great tool for easily creating clean and useful dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use! I had never been exposed to a BI tool like this before, but I was able to learn how to do basic things relatively quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say at this point. My job has been more focused on other things, so I haven't had a lot of time to do much experimenting with Sisense. I have liked what I've seen so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One thing that I consider to be a huge benefit is the fact that the it's connected to the database so the dashboards update automatically.
Intuitive Data and Reporting Tool
What do you like best about the product?
SIsense is very powerful and easy to work with, even the less-technical users can build effective dashboards. The interface is very intuitive for data warehousing, modelling and dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Server needs frequent reboots.No leftJoi
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We see many benefits to Sisense. 1)Self-service - end users have access to their own information; 2) informative dashboards help relay effective data story telling 3)data warehouse
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is making our reporting and sharing information easy. The on-boarding was good, there were some technical issues which we overcame with support. Sisense contains many comprehensive features, it may frustrate the non-technical users but the continuous support and online documentation is great. sharing sensitive information using Data security is great and easy to setup.
A useful and easy to use software
What do you like best about the product?
How well it embeds into other softwares, the one click sign on works incredibly well and we are able to brand dashboards effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using it effectively requires upfront knowledge, the platform whilst for the most part is straight forward to use, to get the most out of it requires a degree of expertise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense has enabled us to access data at a speed which was previously impossible. It has increased the productivity of my team a huge amount. We are now also able to respond far quicker to data requests from customers which is another great benefit.
Solid BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard level filter and drill features are intuitive and work extremely well. I've used BI tools in the past where these features were either a pain to set up or didn't exist at all. Sisense's ability to filter and drill into data is amazing. Can't remember how I ever got along without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easy way to rotate through dashboards on the displays in our office. Currently I have to use a Google Chrome extension to cycle through URLs, which doesn't work all of the time and I have to set it up again any time there's a Chrome update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we've been able to solve are getting accurate and up-to-date data in front of our team leaders and executives. Prepping for meetings is much easier because we know the data we need is already up-to-date, there's no scrambling trying to compile data beforehand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to reach out to their support when you have issues. We've had great help from the Sisense support team. It's a great value add, so make sure to take advantage of it. They definitely want to make sure you're getting the most from their product.
Sisense provides a nice platform with solid interactivity and engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense provides a nice platform with solid interactivity and engagement. Users on both sides are able to play and manipulate data, and it's ability to house large forms of data and plenty of users at the same time makes it a productive platform. Sisense makes use of "cubes" as well, which are an easy way to query a database multiple times and interconnect the different queries. The feel of the cubes, which is a simple drag and drop and has a stringy, bounce look, is extremely pleasing, self-explanatory, and easy to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense tends to limit abilities within data analysis and advanced analytics. A lot of the grouping and functions often result opposite from which you'd like to pull when running through them the first couple times. More advanced mathematical uses are limited in use, such as uses for Standard Deviations within a simple scatter plot, or simple regressions. A lot of plug-ins for the app solve said problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mass data visualization sharing has been very helpful, and the interactivity of the platform is a major benefit. I find that when I use a filter within sisense, the interactivity within for the end user is far better than any other dashboard platforms I've used. Sisense is also very learner-friendly, with my current job being my first in a BI position, Sisense made is fairly easy to learn the platform and make use of it for my clients with videos and trial dashboards.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Following the simple tutorials given by Sisense is extremely helpful. Evaluate whether you prefer interactivity or advanced analytics, if the former, it's the tool for you.
