Advanced BI tool with a unique performance supporting feature.
What do you like best?
When cube is set an ready. The dashboarding experience is pure pleasure. There is a great variety of widgets to choose and build powerful visualizations. Sisense has created a big community where people can share tips and tricks. There is a possibility to build your own plugins or re-use the ones provided by other users of Sisense.
What do you dislike?
If you do not store your data daily then the date aggregation becomes troublesome. The interface sometimes glitches. Minor issues with the widget setup - auto-scaling sometimes fails when you use different chart types (combo charts). Building cubes requires some experience. It is not intuitive and your structured query language knowledge might not be of any big help. Sisense develops application fast but it sometimes backfires with upgrades that brings some unexpected behaviour.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
The great thing about Sisense is that it suits both reporting and analytics purpouse. We use Sisense to report on a high-level but also to provide possibility to drill down to the root-cause of the problem. Hopefully our customers will use Pulse and Alerting feature which is a great addition to any reporting tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an embedded BI solution, Sisense should be your top consideration. There might be an issue with supporting hundreds of millions of records without a standalone BI optimized database. However, if your data sets are smaller than that Sisense is probably the most cost efficient solution. Apart from the niche

Very good software, easy to embed, has most of BI functionality one would need for complex analysis
What do you like best?
Most of the operations can be done via API. Fast on a medium size data set. More less anything you need with regards to BI functionality
What do you dislike?
There is a room to improve in the areas of administration and governance, support for OEM business and visualizations.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are embedding Sisense as OEM into our product. With that we are empowering our own solution with the analytics and advanced BI functionality
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While some functionality is missing, I strongly recommend to use Sisense - good and easy to use software with good roadmap
Very good visualization tool for tracking and sharing business KPIs
What do you like best?
The visualization possibilities and the design and design options
What do you dislike?
The lack of a better dashboard folder system to use with the end users (a star option to collect the most useful dashboard on user level, a better and more intuitive search function). The front end lack of a dynamic parameter creation (also for filtering, for example switching from one dimension or KPI to another on filter level).
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Unification of data into one single data architecture. Sisense is helping unifying data coming from different products (different sources) into one single CUBE and model it accordingly to present it as one. Sharing and presenting data in a very clear design for different company units and departments.
Nothing short of great
What do you like best?
I love the flexibility and continued development of the Sisense software. Also like the forums and discussion about use cases that may have existed before. Also like that the Elasticube has multitude of connectors which makes it very versatile to get the data in.
What do you dislike?
The initial learning curve. I barely knew SQL and only used pivot tables when I first started Sisense. So I had to invest a lot of time learning SQL and data-modeling and how to use Sisense effectively
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Mostly speed of info, showing trends quicker, saves time in preparing data, automation of data pulls
If their business was in need of BI software

What do you dislike?
JAQL not easy to understand
Data modelling environment not optimal - Would prefer a "star scheme" type modelling environment
Functions require some getting use to in dashboard design
Not able to view SQL behind widgets, but I think this is being made available in newer versions
BloX not very easy to understand
Common functions require bespoke scripting, something that ought to be doable out of the box, without heavy script customization

Great tool
Always do a tool evaluation first
Ensure you have a comprehensive criteria when reviewing BI tools
Ensure you have a senior BI sponsor / champion
Decide early on how you're going to implement Sisense... cloud / on-premise
Have a good inhouse team of BI developers, data engineers, data-modellers, adminstrstors so you can leverage this new tech quickly... hit the ground running
Understand clearly that BI won't magically fix your data problems... it's an enabler, not a magic bullet.

Sisense - Feedback
What do you like best?
I like the look and feel best, it is very eye-pleasing and seems intuitive. Sisense is a good platform, our usage seems a bit restricted in terms of the ability to customize views, and speed of page (report) rendering
What do you dislike?
Speed (rendering) and lack of customization capabilities
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are providing real-time reporting to clients. The vision of "real-time" reporting is a benefit
Sisense is doing well but has a long way to go
What do you like best?
Easy to understand data assets, user onboarding and admin stuffs are easy. On-click addition of data in the dashboards is easy. The support team is also responsive and engages regularly with us. The consultation they provide on building dashboards to solve business problems are also very helpful.
What do you dislike?
Stability of the product has been an issue. We have had to reach out for the same issues multiple times. The reported bugs also hit a stonewall in R&D phase. Also, compared to market players in data visualisation such as Microstrategy and Tableau, they still have a long way to go in terms of being intuitive.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We use Sisense for our business users to derive insights from data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it if your dataset is small or if you are looking for a tool that is easy to administer and not need too much maintenance.
User friendly BI
What do you like best?
Sisense provides a platform where we can create tailored dashboards for our stakeholders to utilise.
I like how easy Sisense is to navigate and customise, filters allow for precise reporting, and the data is presented in a clear format with multiple widget options.

What do you dislike?
The elasticubes and formulas can be difficult to get to grips with, certainly a learning curve.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Sisense has replaced the need for multiple manual reports on spreadsheets and from outdated systems, it provides a 'self serve' option that frees up time we used to spend gathering and cleaning data, allowing more time to analyse and provide insight.
