Ease of dashboard and report creation for Company KPIs
What do you like best about the product?
With our dashboards, we need to have reports shareable across various departments and external users with specific permissions in place so certain groups/users only view their data. Data security and group management features are indispensable and solve this problem.
Dashboard and report creation is simple to do. We like how we can filter items inside formula on the UI and the drag and drop JOIN feature in the cube schema editor is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
ETL can be slow with very large data sets during builds. There are some limitations to creating custom fields within a widget/report. The UI interface to access and make changes to data sources is not reliable.
There isn't an accumulate data sync function on the Salesforce connector.
There’s no straightforward way to check the data in a cube without having to create either *(1) a dashboard* or *(2) custom SQL expression* or (3) way to directly search inside the columns of the data for particular values.
Moving dashboards between folders is cumbersome - you cannot move a dashboard you own to a folder you do not own.

A Powerful and Innovative Business Intelligence Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is something our clients really appreciate. It is easy to use, and even the less technical team members at my company are able to create different widgets with ease. Additionally, the embedded analytics offerings are an added benefit, and have certainly become increasingly interesting to our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
PDF printing is usually formatted incorrectly, which typically limits our use of the feature. Additionally, expanded capability for the web-based Elasticube would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense has been able to condense a number of our client's daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly reports into a single dashboard with only a handful of widgets. The ability to drill dynamically into a visualization makes it easy to answer many business questions with only 1 widget.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Attend the annual conference and watch the webinars/read support content to get the full use of the platform.
Almost perfect tool
What do you like best about the product?
Use sql to build charts, intergrate with python for more functionality. Simple UI. Quick chart setup and dashbording
What do you dislike about the product?
Refresh, caching takes too long or never. No drill down. Data explorer very slow in building the query charts. Run code button not floating have to scroll down if long query. Limited python modules. No custom time setting of reloading data

Its a good tool to have, nice features but could be better
Excellent Product With Quirky Formatting. Outstanding On Boarding And Support Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense has proven to be an excellent BI platform for us. While some formatting requires custom scripting the customer support and development teams have done an excellent job of providing support and incorporating suggestion into the roadmap. They listen!!! The onboarding process for any product is usually dependent on the onboarding team... and our Sisense BI Consultant (included with the product) was excellent. In addition to being intimately familiar with the product, he was also well versed in various data modeling techniques.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting and functionality that you might assume to be built in the front end actually requires custom scripting. Prefer Sisense address this gap in future versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal customer scorecard solution with mobile capabilities.
Great customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Great support services! This means fast response times and much quicker ramp up/training
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to make certain types of interactive graphs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization in real time - this allows us to monitor our business
Using Sisense for product development
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of usage and full stack capabilities. It is very easy and quickly to go through the whole process from data import to Dashboards publishing. It is easy to create data model and combine data from different data sources. Also Custom SQL queries gives possibility to make data transformations. Dashboards creation is very quick and simple but also gives possibility to make advanced formulas and calculations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price and absence of the timeline of the new features development. Elasticube is hard to drag and navigate when many tables are added. It is hard to move and rearrange data tables by dragging them. Also it is very easy to break the dashboard if any changes of fields names are done in elasticube and Sisense is not alerting about possible issues when filed is used in calculations. Also, when there is need to replace some data field on another for the whole dashboard, there is no easy way to do this in batch, you just need to go and manually change it in each widget and formula.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance measure visualization for monitoring. Data consolidation - when structure of the data is the same in different files. Speed of development is great advantage. Also Sisense provide flexibility to adjust data model easily and develop it further as time goes and changes needed. It is easy to switch to another data source if needed and keep the model structure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is very good full stack BI product
Great Analytics Tool. Easy to write charts, tables, and other visualizations.
What do you like best about the product?
This tool has made it easy to write the visualizations that need to be surfaced to stake-holders. I especially like the fact that you write a SQL query and the data for the visualization is derived from the query results. This has made our business intelligence so much more flexible than if we could only specify a table.
With other BI tools, you have to specify a table and if you want to limit the rows retrieve and do a join, there is a series of drop downs to deal with. That approach would slow us down sooo much so I am glad that we are not bound by it in Periscope.

What do you dislike about the product?
The options with regards to some visualizations are a little limited. With the addition of plotly and other tools, this is being mitigated. However I think there may be some visualization features available on other BI tools that are not on Periscope.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to surface analytics reports for the various reporting needs of our organization. Because it is doing direct queries, the reports update in real-time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No learning curve! Easy to get started, unlike other BI tools we evaluated
"Fast Food" Data
What do you like best about the product?
Periscope provides you with with the data you need. It helps a lot in terms of pulling up data really fast whenever you need it. Pretty reliable and easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Personally I'm a very visual person, so I guess the freedom to customise the way your dashboard would look like in terms of colour is very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick data in terms of client based activities. I work a lot in operations and it works wonders!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It looks intimidating at first but once you get the hang of it, it'll be like clockwork.
User friendly.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the user friendly BI tools I have worked with. Easily works in combination of different types of sources. Helpful customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
it would be helpful if the errors messages had a little more detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Populating useful KPIs and insights that are very beneficial for business decisions of our company.
Clear joint of excels to create in one same place graphs that resume everything
What do you like best about the product?
what I like the best is the possibility to select only one advertiser or year once the graph is created
What do you dislike about the product?
the procedure to enter the data as once you enter the first Excel , the upcoming ones have to have the same number of columns etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To resume in one sheet two excels.
The possibility to have each week a graph updated with an excel
