What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation & Tutorials are not easily available over the internet.
For Advanced users, no proper forum available for inspiration dashboard and sisense usages.
No Tutorials are available for advanced features such as API, Javascript embedding, JAQL.
Some advanced formulae are not available and we have to tweak the data from the backend itself to achieve something that could have easily be done at the front-end using the formula.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are developing/enhancing multiple dashboards according to the business requirement. Developing such valuable dashboards in a short span of time is easy. With Sisense, we can easily build cubes and create reports on top of it. As Sisense comes with the monitor itself the administration task is easy with it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start developing the dashboard rather than searching for the documentation and tutorials. It is quite easy to learn on our own. You will learn on the go while fulfilling the business user requirement. For users coming from different tools, do not go directly to the advanced feature and usages. Start from Basic dashboards and gradually move to the advanced features at your own pace.

Good Visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
The basis and starting level data visualization can be created fairly quickly. It has own elastic cube management which makes it fairly stand alone infrastructure. Trial of the tool as available which makes it easy to learn and test.
What do you dislike about the product?
The speed of the dashboard load becomes quite slow as the dashboard start to grow in number of widgets. It does not support variables filters like it is available in Tableau. The internet traffic is through HTTP/1.1, which makes the response bit slower where widgets on the dashboard is more in number.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to make Analytics easy and fast in our organization. Analysts use dashboard and reports built on Sisense to quickly find actionable insights. Executive team can look at the Sisense dashboard as one point source of all top KPIs.
easy to use and powerful
What do you like best about the product?
easy to create dashboards and load data from different sourse
What do you dislike about the product?
it is not "mobile ready" with blox and other cutom objects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We will distribute the dashboards to over 65,000 pos
I like the visual components of the sisense.
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is pretty simple and neat. I don't need a initial tour on where to look at the things. From the day1 till today the experience was pretty smooth.
The filters and charts. There are bunch of visualizations available in sisense which are very suitable to express the metrics using right choice of charts.
We had did some experimentations on creating our plugin for one our needs. We were able to smoothly develop and prototype the plugins.
JAQL widget analysis were pretty useful when we tried to optimize the many to many joins and reduce the query path in our star schema model.

What do you dislike about the product?
The versioning of dashboard, widget and data model is not supported. This makes us to version the dashboard and cubes which are making our release process pretty tough. We often need to create new cube with new versions which breaks the dashboard who have designed their new dashboard with existing version.
We used pivot chart initially in the previous versions it started to break when there were large columns. also when we tried to export the data from the pivot chart. The data was completely different than the pivot because both pivot chart and export used different JAQLs.
For some versions we wanted implement row based filtering and column based filtering it didn't work as expected.

Easy to understand for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly interface, good visualization. It was easy to use the Sisense Cube Manager even as someone who had not worked with the application before. It was easy to navigate the application. Multiple widgets could be attached in the same dashboard. Multiple data sources can also be used. Also, multiple widgets can have a common filter. Other plugins are easily available and they can be very conveniently integrated with the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I wanted to customize some of the graphs then it is not easily done. I wanted to customize the Treemap, so, that each cell also has multiple sub divisions, which, could have resized based on their count. But, they were not being resized by the number of items in each cell.
Sisense is a heavy tool. Sometimes the dashboards take a long time to load.
Dashboards cannot be viewed offline, and one needs to have an internet connection to view the dashboards
Sisense Cubes get very slow once the data size grows, and, so do the dashboards.

More than a descent BI platform (review seen from a data analyst's perspective)
What do you like best about the product?
• Easy user-friendly model development. Bringing data from different sources is very straightforward.
• Most industry and well known sources/connectors are available.
• Easy dashboard development, however not as intuitive as in other platforms, nevertheless the documentation and learning material is more than enough to get you going within a few days.
• Simple to advanced looking dashboard development can happen within a few steps and can provide valuable insight quickly.
• Although I have only tested slightly (mainly seen demo) their platform "Data-Teams" (previously periscope) is a very promising and competitive addition. Basically it gives dashboard/BI developers the ability to use SQL, Python and R all in one environment.
• Option to setup notification alerts on widgets when a KPI meets/exceeds etc. certain criteria.
• Addons which extend the widgets that can used.
• Sisense team is very friendly and patient when it comes to supporting and helping.
• API availability to import/export and edit data, metadata and settings. It does need some more tuning and definitely better and more extensive documentation.
• Simple and effective user permission settings.
• Multiple options on connecting securely to data sources. Also Sisense's IT is very helpful and knowledgeable on that area. Whenever we had to work with them the response was very satisfactory.

What do you dislike about the product?
• Quite a few minor to medium bugs which their dev team are trying to resolve. These are nowhere near a "no-go"/blocker level, however the behavior on more advanced dashboards is inconsistent and workarounds need to be applied. I find my self troubleshooting on a weekly basis and sometimes just recreating the original approach works when previously it was not. This is sometimes quite time consuming and frustrating.
• There is no way (currently) to view the queries run behind widgets. This makes it very hard to troubleshoot or reach the desired result when things do not work as expected.
• Missing version control or link to gitHub for non-cloud-data teams (could-teams is Sisense's name of their product which incorporates SQL/Python/R in one environment). Their models/elasticubes and dashboards do not have version control.
• BloX seems to be a powerful side-tool based on MS adaptive cards which helps customize-control dashboard results even further and in some cases fill in the gaps of the default features provided by Sisense both in design and functionality. This is both a pro and a con. The biggest let down to all this is missing proper documentation and tutorials. The ones available are only introductory, leaving the user having to get through a very demanding steep curve of trying to understand and use it and in most cases through trial and error.
