Effective BI Platform For Daily Use
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Sisense from other similar products?
It is the go-to tool for both BI self-service and discovering business insights in our organization. Several of our business users are independently examining the data, and our core data team also produces and maintains a set of business reports. In addition to key performance indicator (KPI) alerts, we utilize WebApp to run ad hoc visualizations and plugins we've developed on top of Sisense.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Even for those who aren't technically savvy, the interface is straightforward and easy to use. A very high-performance platform built on top of a solid backend architecture. Data cubes are saved on disk in a way that prevents querying activity from affecting the original data in the source databases. The response time from the support team was impressive, and they were quite helpful.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Management strategies based on cubes are becoming antiquated. There should be a more sophisticated fault-tolerant incremental build system, greater language support, and a complete overhaul. Comparatively rudimentary out-of-the-box reporting and visualization tools compared to industry frontrunners There is a problem with the scalability of building several cubes at once; even on servers with plenty of rams, it cannot produce more than three cubes simultaneously.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Ideal BI solution built atop the architecture of a big data platform for pre-aggregating data. Database knowledge and monitoring levels can be set quite low. In addition, it's ideal for companies that don't deal with "big data," as no extra workers are required to compile and show the information. It's not as good when very specialized and complicated visuals are needed.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
- Unique Features
- Efficient Service

Sisense is flexible and easy to use.

What differentiates Sisense from other similar products?
Sisense is the only analytics platform which I know of , that allows me to ask questions from my data in everyday language. This is most helpful for non-technical users, because it ensures that they learn enough about the data they are trying to analyze.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The flexibility and ease of use which comes with Sisense is what has impressed me the most. As a user, I am allowed to select from code-first , no-code or low code tools. This enables me to build analytics dashboards at my own level of expertise and pace.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Have sometimes encountered memory issues when loading data into parallel data models. Also, while compiling reports on Sisense , I am unable to use strings for comparison and rather forced to run my calculations within my data models .
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Regardless of its advanced feature-set which can be frightening for first time users, Sisense has an analytics platform that can simply be used by every data and insights professional , not minding their level of expertise.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Security Protects

Easy to use tool to visualize data.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Sisense from other similar products?
Provide a visualization layer to our clients in order for them to acquire actionable insights into the outcomes. It enables enterprises to directly construct dashboards in order to learn how they may improve. Sisense spends much on their Linux web system, which is excellent. We've built various dashboards with data that may examine the important company KPIs on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Users may acquire useful insights and infer about the uncommon business situation, and the dashboard data can be downloaded to PDF, Excel, or CSV.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Sisense can feed numerous datasets into one internal place, which contains all of my relationships. Sisense provides a very nice and simple online interface. Users in groups can collaborate to generate simple analyses. They are constantly adding new features to Sisense. The ability to personalize the details displayed appears to be one of Sisense key strengths. We can build live dashboards or dashboards based on elastic cubes that can pull data from many data sources. There are several color palettes accessible, and the developer may choose the one that is needed.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sometimes it takes a long time to load the dashboards, resulting in a poor user experience. If no people use a dashboard, your cube continues to eat memory, increasing the overall memory usage and hence the time it takes to load. Sisense's loading and widget customisation are lacking. Indexing tables, particularly pivot tables, might be indexed more frequently. Upgrades to later versions have been necessitated by complicated security mechanisms. I'd want to resize the tabs over numerous rows and update the aesthetics.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Sisense is a simple and straightforward tool that is simple to understand. Create a simple cube and dashboard to test your comprehension and functioning. Make certain that you have all of the tools necessary to combine the appropriate data sets. Also, make sure it meets your requirements since once you've built your cube, you won't be able to change the datasets without restarting the procedure. Integrating data into a data cube simplifies and secures access to all required data sources.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
