BI Tool for today's market
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is very easy to setup and use, if you are familiar with warehouse, star schema, analysis cube concepts and basic BI concepts, this tool, installation, development and usage is pretty much self explanatory, if you are not aware of these concepts, you have account manager, technical and support staff, and online documentation available to easily pick concepts and topics
What do you dislike about the product?
Most BI tools are either dependent on data analysis on relational database (warehouse) others (like Sisense) work best with its own data layer (Elasticube), its a matter of ROLAP vs MOLAP, I think its about time some tool, hopefully Sisense takes a stab at HOLAP (Hybrid) approach so data-to-intelligence/analysis time is shortened, for some larger datasets, elasticube preparation can take some time, also IMHO, this will help address some of very complex "query path" issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For now we are looking at trends and creating velocity and forecasts dashboards,.
Reports and widgets on dashboards provides useful metrics to every level of Business Analyst throughout the organization, with few clicks you can view dashboard for an individual to entire company, you can also create pulse reports, to get this data delivered to you on schedule or event

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not that you will need it a whole lot, but in case you need support Sisense team will go out of their way to provide help as soon as possible, if its a feature enhancement for your installation, they might even bring that feature in core product and will keep you updated on its development stage and release date
Ease of use and implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use for end users and for designers to develop, ease of implementation and managing the cloud data. However, formatting the dashboards can be a bit tricky sometimes. But there's good customer service to help you troubleshoot when you need.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently visualizing all the data for specific departments to analyze sales and backlog as well as regional performances. The tool provides ease of access for the sales data as well as the ability to drill down to answer specific problems.
Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The data visualization is made easier, but I wish you didn’t have to use as many Java Scripts to customize certain things.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be tricky to embed in the platform but once you do it is easy to create and deploy content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to create a central repository of information that can be analyzed ( i.e. customer alerts, overall view of sites, and allowing to make better-informed decisions on inventory purchases).
Very powerful and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Easily to link data and begin analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need some detailed programming experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need to pull together data from multiple sources across the organization. Allows management to easily investigate the metrics without having to deal with all the underlying data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sisense is definitely a BI Industry leader and they are constantly improving the product.
Sisense has helped manage big data sets and get valuable visuals and identify trends.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease in which you can bring multiple data sets together and get meaningful insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any real dislikes but the product Sisense offers is evolving all of the time so i would say it would be limited visuals but this becoming less relevant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
one of the many problems was cross analysing google analytics data with real time sales from none ecom sources based on leads generated but Sisense has helped achieve this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Reach out and speak with the customer success team they are always happy to help and very knowledgable
Sisense || SAVI Group Inc
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and the management team supporting my needs. Jan has helped us with any issues we have as we navigate the trials and tribulations of adding a new system to our environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had certain issues during onboarding. The onboarding technician we had wasn't as knowledgable on the platform and our needs but our client success manager helped to support those shortcomings and help us get the best experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to support our clients day to day needs to make better business decisions (i.e. what payers to get credentialed with, what providers are successful/unsuccessful, etc)
Excellent. Makes BI Dashboards easy and give you room to develop BI into something bigger
What do you like best about the product?
Very stable and easy platform to grow your MI dashboard business and insight. While you can get up and running quickly with simple dashboards we have found that the platform is capable of much more with live integrations and big data sets. The data is very easy to share. The Sisense team is really nice to deal with and positive and the support is excellent. I do feel they truly want us to succeed. They are also proactive with new developments to make sure the product is at the leading edge of integrations and capability. They have also been very supportive of us pushing the boundaries of what is possible with Sisense and helping us find great development partners. It really has transformed our company's understanding of our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not really a dislike, more of an observation that you will likely need help integrating more complex data and formulas when you move out of the basic level, but we have found great partners through Sisense to work with us. If you factor that in (and the cost) at the start it will help
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing a large number of disparate data sets together, ranging from manual app based information gathering to per second live data in a single place, then analyzing that data to ensure our business is optimized. Creating automatic revenue and performance reports for stakeholders and automating other processes. this has reduced costs and increased performance and profits.
Implemented quickly and efficiently with immediate return on investment
What do you like best about the product?
Data models with various sources are created in minutes. the dashboard tool has good heuristics.
The implementation process was thorough and very useful. The relationship manager is knowledgeable, helpful, and available.

What do you dislike about the product?
The help desk was difficult to find for submitting a ticket.
The professional services team is smaller than expected, which forced us to find a third party to help customize some plugins.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have implemented various dashboards that provide new transparency into our data. Executives can now confirm suspicions and make better informed decisions.
Amazingly powerful and efficient
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to have access to raw data without delay. The charts are clean and easy to produce. Python and R functionality enables you to make more complex graphs and do more sophisticated analysis than raw SQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how hard it is to move charts within a dashboard. If you have to rearrange sections of dashboards, it takes minutes of scrolling and shifting the reordering window. I suggest adding functionality to be able to move groups of charts together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Periscope fulfills our reporting needs, analytical needs, and enables us to have a clearer picture of product performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The caching feature makes the platform incredibly fast. That along is a selling point.
Ease of implementation

Ease of use. Our previous BI provider gave us 90 days notice they were closing their doors. We were able to get a dashboard up quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software meets our needs, not many complaints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous BI provider closed their doors
