First grip on our data.
What do you like best about the product?
The speed and ease of combining data sources is great. For our company it gives the first realtime insight in our sales, but also really helps analysing more complicated data questions. Currently we're still implementing the solution, gradually building useful dashboards. But from the start we've had added value of the insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Sisense is rapidly growing and developing the system is not always 100% stable. More often than not it's because of a user error, which can be hard to pin down on yourself. Luckily the support of Sisense has always helped find a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Combining sales data with our costs data, coming both from different sources, we're getting realtime insights in our product performance. Also we're doing analysis on long term high frequency data sets of about 40m rows. The speed of querying is great, and the patterns you can discover with big data are insightful
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the trial, get a real business example with your own data, the Sisense team goes quite far helping you to evaluate the purposes.

Clear analytics
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very easy for our customers to use and get interactive reporting. The ability to easily slice data up improves our customer engagement with our reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
No a lot. I have not used the system in anger to understand where the frailties are.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to provide customers with visibility our page impressions of syndicated content we have distributed to our Global Shopper Network. SiSense has enabled us to provide customers with a self service reporting capability to get more than just a flat lifeless report.

Superficial knowledge of Sisense
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that you can use multiple data sources and treat them as one.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a steep learning curve and when using Sisense only a few times a year, the learning curve starts again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Information mined from multiple data sources, that is, information about the usage of our product.
Beautiful results from the whole package
What do you like best about the product?
Once you are acclimated to the environment, spinning up data models and creating visualizations is very easy. You can make a professional-looking dashboard, or even a set of related dashboards, within a few hours. Visualizations are beautiful. Elasticubes are wonderful at bringing in a creating a relational data model out of disparate data sources. I often combine Excel docs, Access DBs and MySQL DBs into a singular data model and then quickly whip up a dashboard that combines all three. I also like that it's an all-in-one package, with the data modelling software, front-end editors, plus data security implementation and entitlement measures, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite what is professed by their ads, some level of SQL and/or Javascript is needed to do anything beyond the most basic setups. For example, only inner joins are available in a data model; custom SQL coding is needed to create any other kind of join. Though an Elasticube can crunch millions of rows of data in a few minutes, the visualizations themselves can be very slow to load (via browser), especially when plotting more than a few hundred data points. The visualizations also leave much to be desired in the way of formatting options (knowledge of Javascript, css and angular.js is needed to do any custom formatting, such as making a font bigger).
However, if you're just setting up a few simple visualizations for your sales database for internal use, this product would be fantastic and you'd probably not end up coding.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sisense as an OEM product, taking the data our company collects data and creating interactive, branded dashboards for our clients to browse. The wonderful thing about Sisense is it provided a one-stop-shop for everything we needed. As a full-stack BI tool, it has the backend data modelling software, data connectors, front-end visualization and dashboard editor, data security measures, automated email notification process, the ability to white-label the product...I could go on and on. But don't be fooled--you will likely end up coding.
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.
