Sinsense ventures into the great world of BI
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Sinsense platform because it offers a fast, accurate and very useful customer service, its updates are annual, and web-based scripts allow unlimited customization. I also love that I can combine data from different sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me a great disadvantage of this platform is that the permissions are difficult, only the owner of the folders can publish any changes, on the other hand the cubes become slow once their data grows, and the administrators at present cannot edit Other people's panels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform offers great benefits within which we can mention the internal analysis of all business units, as well as integrated customer-oriented reports. We solve many commercial problems related to the supply chain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We recommend this platform because it requires minimal supervision and compression of the database. It also fits for companies without big data, since no additional staff is needed to package and display the data in a digestible format.
Great BI tool with good implementation and constant support.
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is easy to install and configure. It is easy to use, both in data modeling and in the design aspects of the board. It is the perfect tool to quickly configure value-added panels and begin your shift towards understanding your data. It helps me to make sure I have the right data for panel designers. It also has excellent customer service and ensures that organizations make the most of their investment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Regardless of the problem we face, however large or small, each of them has been addressed. The Sisense team did an amazing job analyzing each problem. Which means I have no dislikes with this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense is used in the organization, both to view the internal data of our accounting software and for the aggregated data collected from our software solutions implemented worldwide. For our executive and internal sales team, it addresses the visibility of sales figures and trends. For our product managers, it provides information about the use of our software and the needs that may arise. For external purposes, we provide reports to our customer base about your personal use of the system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is very suitable for many small and medium sized businesses as long as the data is not too large. We use it to analyze sales, active versus canceled subscriptions, use of functions in our software, etc. For big data it becomes a problem
Incredible Data Analysis, Business Intelligence and Data Management Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is a highly extensible platform that connects multiple data sources and allows for a high degree of data simplification and optimization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The visualizations could use some modernization along with exporting dashboards (i.e. creating PDFs).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving General Ledger Reporting, Revenue Cycle Reporting, Admissions/Census reporting and much, much more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand your data and what you want to get out of your dashboards. Work backwards...
Awesome way to source data with several features similar to Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
Periscope allows users to utilize PostgreSQL language to query their data and put it into very visually appealing dashboards, customer service is also incredibly helpful and friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of SQL language nuances that are a little different in Periscope but not a huge deal
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is allowing us to move away from static data sourcing and gives us the ability to track relevant metrics in real time as a company
Needs more work
What do you like best about the product?
The integration with other software is nice
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a resource hog! If your server isn't 36core and 64gb, have fun trying to keep it from crashing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and relaying data
Super easy to use for someone with minimal SQL/Database experience
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy for me to use on the fly. Can build new dashboard and reports within minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know enough about the system yet. Still learning. I know there are a lot of bells and whistles that i am not taking advantage of yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to address operational workflow issues and gaps. Able to really dive into the results of our business with these tools.
Easy way to visualize data
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to personalize the data and integrate it with other systems. Also makes the data easy to digest
What do you dislike about the product?
For non-engineers it can be difficult to personalize
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving performance issues - we are able to look at all the nuances of search accounts
Would be a great tool if it would actually work
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense allows for a quick and streamlined way to visualize recent changes in accounts and aggregates those all on one page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense is always down when I try to use it in the morning, it doesn’t seem to be able to connect to our accounts correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense helps me do a high level check of my accounts’ performance.
Easier to use than expected even with little to no SQL experience
What do you like best about the product?
Once onboarded and in the tool, it is very easy to navigate. I also like the visibility into the data and what the programming is doing. Some other tools we used I felt like I lost visibility and it was very hard to QC that what I wanted to do was actually being done correctly. Sisense does a great job at allowing the user to be able to get insights very clearly into what is happening on the backend to QC on the frontend.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like some more formatting features on the dashboard; minor things like fonts, being able to bold, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Sisense to do Client Response Analysis. This analysis was almost impossible to do on a recurring basis because it took so long to do offline and manually. We are now able to take a report that would take 3-4 days to update it in 15 minutes. We are seeing more accuracy and a ton of time savings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the time to spend during implementation and onboarding. If you put the time in upfront the ease of use comes quickly. We had to start and stop a lot due to scheduling and work load and it made the learning curve take longer than it probably should have. Now that we're in the tool on a daily basis it does not feel intimidating or cumbersome.
Great for data teams
What do you like best about the product?
Periscope is great for people who know how to write SQL and have their data in tabular format. It allows you to write SQL queries and directly make them into charts rather than the Tableau and Looker approach of having proprietary abstractions from the SQL code.
Anyone who knows how to write SQL will be able to use Periscope very quickly.
Anyone who knows how to write SQL will be able to use Periscope very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The actual Periscope dashboards are relatively basic but you can use different Python/R packages to make different kinds of charts.
Also, if you have a lot of people who do not know SQL but want to explore the tabular data themselves, this is probably not the tool for you because the "Data Discovery" tool is very basic. Not sure how it compares to other products in that regard but it is definitely not as good as Thoughtspot.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Periscope for basically all data analytics and reporting. The "Periscope cache" is very useful because it basically acts as a mini data warehouse, allowing you to join disparate data sources. Also, the UI is great. It makes making materialized SQL views very easy and straightforward. Also, the customer support is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your data team needs a tool use Periscope. If you have picky business users who don't write SQL, you'll need something else.
