Sisense Fusion Analytics Platform

What do you like best about the product?

Sisense is a powerful and flexible business intelligence (BI) platform known for its ability to handle complex data modeling and provide scalable analytics. It supports both live and in-chip (ElastiCube) data models, offering versatility depending on performance and latency needs.

The platform excels in embedding analytics, making it ideal for companies that want to offer white-labeled dashboards or integrate insights directly into customer-facing applications. The drag-and-drop UI is user-friendly for business users, while developers and data teams can leverage custom SQL, Python/R scripts, and APIs for more advanced needs.

Sisense’s Live Data Models connect directly to cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift, allowing real-time insights without needing to move data. However, performance can depend heavily on how well the models are designed and how queries are structured.

Pros:

Strong embedded analytics capabilities

Flexible data modeling with Live and ElastiCube options

Scalable architecture suitable for large datasets

Customization via APIs, plugins, and scripting

What do you like best about the product?

Sisense offers developers an intuitive interface. Building models (live and elastic) is easy and straightforward. Basic capabilities are easy to learn and adapt. There is a range of widgets to choose from. I'm personally a fan of Blox given its versatility.

As a service, the support we receive for issues and queries is always outstanding. Though some issues take longer to be resolved, we are kept up to date on the progress.

What do you dislike about the product?

We struggled integrating it with Slack. Some of the basic widget customisations need custom scripting (if it is a frequently requested feature/capability the team strives to add it in the upcoming product releases, which is good). Having to purchase addons from third-party vendors for basic features is not ideal.
Lacks the ability to search for a metric to identify which dashboard contains it unless the metric is explicitly mentioned in the dashboard name.

Sisense helps our business stakeholders view topline metrics in a consolidated place. It also helps our analysts self serve (build your own dashboard). It serves as a solution for our business intelligence needs.

I like the ease with which our developers have learn to master the platform, the number of features (i.e. connection manager) and the ease of integration (i.e. Git)

The amount of maintenance windows that are needed, although they are significally less than our previous tool.

visualization on employee metrics, focused on the amount of data that has been centrilized and made available across the company.

What do you like best about the product?

We have been partners with Sisense for multiple years now. The collaboration from the CS and support teams are great, as we were able to resolve almost all of the issues that we encountered. The data modeling and data base building side of the platform is intiutive and easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes the process of resolving an issue required a lot of work from the customer side, includeing sending HAR files, logs, etc. I understand that in order to be able to resolve an issue, all the relevant data should be made available, but it still feels that the customer is required to invest considerable amount of time in order to facilitate the investigation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

it provides us the data warehouse for our in-house dashboards where the BI team can process the data without any dependency of the Development team.
