The most helpful using Sisense is that you can filter what information you only need in a Database that you only need to work on specifically.

Useful Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Data Visualization and dashboard building functionality was great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the billing/support system to be tricky to navigate. I had a number of issues updating payment methods for my company's plan, and our renewal contract was sent to an employee no longer with the company, so we got locked into another year of our plan due to not cancelling the renewal in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customer behavior analysis/sales trends are easy to monitor.
Quick and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is a quick way to put together data in a clean and consise way.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are working on adding more and more features but some features are behind a paywall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating dashboards of the things that are important to me.
Great Charts!
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of it! It's very easy to navigate and pull macro or micro level data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the charts are a bit wonky and don't load very quickly if at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to slice data in ways that salesforce and admin cannot.
Legacy platform that keeps going strong
What do you like best about the product?
When we first met with Sisense 7 years ago, they promised an easy way of building dashboards for our customers. They delivered that, and keep going strong until today.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a small business, we are price sensitive. Sisense has custom pricing that sometimes it's scary to ask. Sisense doesn't give usage analytics for free, which is very helpful to grow business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense gives us a quick and easy solution to build embed dashboard within our platform.
Not intuitive, lacks customization with coding
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Sisense is that there's no need for coding experience. In fact, it doesn't let you use sql syntax at all. You simply select fields and apply filters and aggregations to those fields through the UI. There is also a feature to do year or year stacked visualizations that I was not able to replicate in DOMO. You can also do rolling 3mo and 12mo averages easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since you can't use sql to customize calculations, you're stuck with the limited features they give you. You can't do anything conditional using CASE statements. You can only apply simple filters and aggregations. If you apply imcompatible aggregations, the data will break and may even crash your entire data set that requires refreshing.
The design is also very ugly, to be blunt. The looks like a combination of Microsoft Paint and Windows 95.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense allowed us to visualize client data in a single place with aggregated visualizations for quick insights, saving our account managers lots of time from exporting numerous raw reports to pivot and chart in Excel.
Good data modelling etc
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visual way data models are presented, and how easy it is to edit source queries etc while in there.
Sisense is supportive, we find it easy to schedule calls etc with them if we have issues.
It is very flexible with the look and feel via javascript, the Pivot 2.0 API, and JAQL.
Live models have been useful for us, especially the variables you can have in the connectors.
An example of the flexibility with Javascript - financial formatting of a Pivot table (linux). I used javascript to make the pivot table show: red or green for variances, brackets around negative numbers, renaming column headers so they include the name of the selected month (in a dashboard filter). I also used columns for ordering, and hid them.

What do you dislike about the product?
Thus far, in the last 5 installations/upgrades of sisense on client sites, we have had issues preventing said installation/upgrade. We've had to reach out to Sisense for help to resolve these on 3 instances, and these issues were resolved.
Javascript is a MUST for any moderate to serious customization of dashboards/widgets. One can either use Javascript or buy add-ons on the app store (which we aren't inclined to do because of cost, and because we're trying to do things that the add-ons don't do). There's a learning investment here, especially in the the Pivot 2.0 API and Javascript.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company is whitelabelling it as their product and onselling it (and building dashboards for clients too).
Sisense/Periscope review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to tie into our data warehouse and rendering more business readable charts
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been major disruptions due to the AP team turning our account off in error due to their accounting team not knowing the true state of our payments. This has brought down our dashboards at least two times in the past year.

We use Periscope for our business data visualization and KPI dashboards
