What do you like best about the product?
easy to use, very self explanatory, and templates are useful to create fast dashbaords
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though the dashboards are easy to use, their is no flexibility to customizing the view of a dashboard, i feel like there is too much open space especially when you are trying to create 2-3 KPI side by side, and the fonts are very limited function, therefore in some cases the difference between one number to the next is off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
being able to create graphics to better explain the data in a summarized way
Intuitive Yet Robust
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Cubes & Dashboards can be as complicated as you like. If it's a simple calculation - I can have a dashboard put together in an hour. If I want to spend time and build something very specific using SQL, I can also do that. I haven't seen a program before that has both functionalities - out of the box use and super-customizable options. The add-ons are endless - any thing you could imagine. The ability to code ontop of the dashboards has potential once I learn javascript.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does have some technical problems every once and a while. Usually logging out & back in solves it.
The install team had issues getting the software correctly installed and running with our production tables.
Some add-ons stop working repeatedly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
They provide a trial version where they connect a trial version of their software to our own data - really helpful to see exactly how well it works and practice around for a few days. The on-boarding and training was conducted thoroughly and well.

Great BI solution for your business
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense helped us develop dashboards that showcase all the data we have in a meaningful way for our business. We love the degree of customization and connectivity between our CRM and other platforms we use. This tool saves us from manually building our reports and saves us so much time. Being able to share the information across our organization is a big win.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about Sisense but I would definitely like to see more options in terms of customer experience data. Sisense is very good on quantitative data but I'd like to see dashboards that could showcase qualitative data and trends to provide customer insight to the business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Sisense we no longer have to manually build our reports. Now that the data is all configured to appear the way we need it in our dashboards, we spend less time manipulating the data and more time analyzing it to improve our performance and provide insights to the business! It is also easier to share the data within our organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is a great product. Make sure your data is clean before building your dashboards and it will help your business for sure!

Sisense is awesome tool with its cool built-in functions
What do you like best about the product?
I really like functionality where you can filter out your KPI and create comparisons so easy.
You just need to add parentheses and column that you want to filter by - very simple whereas in other tools it takes so much work arounds.
Here it is literally (SUM(KPI), CITY) and you get sum filtered by whichever city you want just in this single metric.
I also like the option to drill into the specific fields of the dashboard to get more insights. It is really cool feature that works only if the elasticube is properly built

What do you dislike about the product?
What should be improved is administration. When I want to change connection string of a data source, I would like the change to be applicable to all tables that use this data source without a need to do it for each and every table.
Also pixel perfect reporting should be in place

Sisense, BI simplified
What do you like best about the product?
The design and flow are very simple, comprehensive and clear. from all the BI tools I've worked with, this one has received the best feedback from our end users, they love their simplicity. Another great feature is the elasticube, wich allow BI developers to connect multiple sources & stitch data without additional data infrastructure like a data warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, it's hard to say, this is a relly good tool, but i'm substracting 1 point from the perfect score for this tool for 2 main reasons: First, the version I worked with didn't support statistical analysis, projections and statistical packages/languages integration (R, Python) neither in elasticube or the visualization client, so, you may have to preprocess the data to perform this kind of analysis, (In my opnion, the lack of this feature could follow a good practice, since by removing this kind of calculations from the interface increase the tool performance, but i would be great if this feature was enabled on the elasticube or at least enable analytical functions). The second reason is that you require to install a web server to develop dashboards, this causes serveral issues if you have any other tool that requires to install nother local web server. Also it reduces your computer performance, so, be sure to disable the environment when not using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this tool to built an enterprise BI solution to track business operations from a large company (+2,000 employees) including financial stats, product delivery and performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask for IoT & Alexa integrations Sisense has a lot of interesting interfaces that are changing the way we conceive BI
