Sisense puts data science in your hands... What you do with it is up to you
What do you like best about the product?
All of the tools are there to adequately design a serviceable Data model for reporting against. There is enough ETL capability to hack it all together and provide the front end with what it needs to display data accurately.
What do you dislike about the product?
ETL is limited to SQL mainly. This seems to make the design and implementation of a full enterprise data warehouse extremely difficult. The front end can be a little clunky, especially the PDF printing which never seems to get the format correctly. It is mostly meant to be used with dashboards in browser, which I understand but doesn't work for the technically illiterate (Which we have more of than I'd like to admit at my 3PL company)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sisense allows us to produce good looking accurate reports out of multiple legacy systems which was previously only possible via intensive manual processes. It makes the analysis of or data possible across many dimensions nearly instant (after proper modeling). It also allows us to construct a single source of truth which is desperately needed due to poor data governance across several redundant data entry systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The product fits well for our business which is medium size ~200 employees. Our data is not overly complex but the quality/governance is poor so single source of truth generation and consolidation is a high priority. ETL is almost purely SQL which makes it accessible and learnable as long as you know your data sources well. You don't get your hand held but it'll get the job done if you are competent
Usefull application and lots of growed potential
What do you like best about the product?
Relative easy to use from a user perspective and the powerful setup of the elastic cubes that provide lot's of opportunities in combination with a data warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Export functionality to different formats and distribution options for customers who still would like to receive listed reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Insight in performance and service levels towards our customers.
Sisense is a End to End Analytics Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It has integration with a lot of applications enabling us to import data from almost any source into Sisense and work with it easily. I also like their features in Visualisation like TABBER that enables us to create tabs and show graphs in dashboards so that dashboards don't look clunky with too much graphs and data to digest. I also love the feature of Custom SQL in the backend that allows us to create custom tables based on the existing tables in the cube. They also have cool feature that makes HISTOGRAMS much simpler to create without you having write codes to create bins. Sisense also lets you import huge data sets into and work much faster with it when compared to tools like Tableau.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I really dislike but I feel not having options to create filters for separate widgets on the dashboard is very annoying at time because not very time we use data from same table on all visualisations inside a dashboard. If we can create filters separately for each widget in a dashboard, it will help knowledge users better in drill downs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sisense to enable Sales, Marketing and Customer Success team increase their throughput with live dashboards. We show KPIs for each of these teams in dashboards to make decision making real-time data driven.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are planning to get an end to end BI Tool for your company, please consider Sisense. They are really good.
Impressed with deliverables offered by SiSense
What do you like best about the product?
Tabber is my favorite option. It allows you to see multiple instances of a data set without crowding the remainder of the dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not know the solution well enough, but will be attending training session to enhance my understanding of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are tying company metrics with overall economic outlooks to drive projections. We have realized a level of granularity that has not been seen before, which may allow our company to get ahead of the curve in anticipating macroeconomic conditions before they happen.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that adequate training is provided, or else you may not be fully utilizing the solution. Also, make sure to visit the forums and videos online. SiSense offers a plethora of videos and community support topics.

Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
The onboarding process was really good.
I very much appreciate the customer support and the ongoing talks we have to see how it is going and how things can be improved.

What do you dislike about the product?
I do not particularly dislike anything: the new web elastic cube will take some time to get used to, but it will be ok.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of excel sheets have been replaced. Automation of email lists and dashboards for business analysis made everything much more manageable and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep things simple. It's easier to manage a greater number of small ec than a smaller number of big ones
A Sisense beginner
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is more streamlined than other tools we performed proof of concepts on. The core customer support and trainers have been very friendly and supportive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes support is unclear in their instructions and expects a more advanced knowledge of how to integrate their product into our system when we have never integrated a BI tool before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple data sources and sets that need managed and combined for reporting. Sisense has helped with quick and accurate reporting. Another benefit is that Sisense has helped us find which data sets are accurate and which need to be fixed.
Solid Product with Low Tech Bar
What do you like best about the product?
Price was reasonable, less technological expertise needed than for other vendors. Good out-of-the-box functionality and documentation. Community and company are extremely responsive regarding additional features and support. The speed of the application and the usefulness of the analytics are fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited visualizations can be painful, and the community is not as large or robust as other vendors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of visibility and low technical competence results in poor performance. Unit sales, shipment, and market analytics are easy to perform deep-dives into. No benefits yet as we are in the middle of implementation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Probably the best out-of-the-box solution that we evaluated for analytics and intelligence. Easy to use, but with room to grow with technical capabilities (JS, Python, R, REST APIs). Great data conglomeration and accessibility.
Sisense BI - an early IT Analyst's Perspective/Review
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense Business Intelligence was our company's go to choice for internal analytics as well as embedded analytics for customer access. The web based architecture is easy to edit/rebrand without much coding experience. The Elasticube is easy to import data from many sources and keep as a SSOT (single source of truth) for data schemas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboard designers have the power to design advanced level formulas and calculations that can be over bearing. Data transformation is limited and this needs to be done in the DB level / cube level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Customer visibility - Access high level dashboards and reports from live data. Greater insight into merchandise, inventory, shipping, etc.
2. Internal users - greater insight into data - Warehouse, inventory, reports, raw data
3. Can answer many questions on their own from the dashboards- even creates questions with answers into items never explored

Sisense makes sense
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to setup an elasticube and create dynamic dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The MongoDB seems to get corrupted very easily causing slowness in the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A quick look at our data without having to building cumbersome reports.
