A great experience with SiSense product and support
What do you like best about the product?
I like the engagement of the on boarding team and the customer success team. The features and the plugins are fantastic and although it is our first months I feel confident that we would be able to fulfill our expectations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The plugins are an issue especially when a new version has been released. It could help if the plugins functionality would become part of the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to get an insight of unemployment though the building of EOM snap-shots of unemployment where data is constantly changing along the months/years and we can now use in the historical data to get an overall insights along the years.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Sisense to others. It is best that one gets a proof of concept with the help of the Sisense Support team to get a good feel of whether it meets all your requirements.

Powerful BI with incredible ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense offers incredible flexibility when accessing not only multiple data sources but multiple types of data sources. I have easily connected MySQL databases, Google Sheets, and Zendesk. Particularly, the ability to create a custom query when building the Elasticube as well as further SQL customization in the Elasticube schema affords me the opportunity to make sure I have exactly the right data for my dashboard designers.
The dashboard creation is impressively featured, including the addition of plugins to implement additional functionality. The visualization is nice and most data presentations I need are included.
Installation and upgrade are almost effortless and I have never run into implementation issues.

Installation and upgrade are almost effortless and I have never run into implementation issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would the ability to include other types of joins other than INNER in the Elasticube but I have been made aware that that functionality is on Sisense's roadmap. This will make things much easier for my implementation. It would also be nice if it ran on a Linux platform (something else I hear is on the roadmap).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it in many departments. We use it to track platform feature adoption over time to give us an idea of what areas are partners are using and what areas require more messaging and focus. We also use it for attrition data analysis to bring together multiple data sources to identify trends and key indicators.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have worked with many other products including Birst, Jaspersoft, and Cognos and this is by far the best I have used.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense is a powerful tool you can use in a simple web browser. The thing I like the most is flexibility, because the system allows to customize the interface and to drill deeper into the data with reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to complain about sisense. It is very easy to use and the support is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for example to analyze the number of patients in pharmacies and what medicines are used.
An end-user oriented analysis tool
What do you like best about the product?
The end users are able to run lots of analysis on their own without having to rely on IT to provide them the information and/or the data required to get their answer
What do you dislike about the product?
Data prep using the proprietary Elasticube system could be long
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better view and understanding of our operations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good for merging different sources of data but the use of the proprietary elasticube could be time consumming
Very Satisfied Customer
What do you like best about the product?
The speed and efficiency of building reports. I can build a report to test if data is useful in minutes. The support is very good also. Speedy responses.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if you could export "pretty" reports out of the box. It takes a lot of work to get widgets to display well in PDF or PNG. Not a good tool for presentation purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly Sales and Custer Satisfaction Reports for marketing. Daily performance reports for each product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If it fits your budget and you need something that scales, get it.
Sisense has made a positive impact at our agency.
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense allows us to pull data from multiple sources and make available for easy analysis. Finally, we have one source of truth. Sisense widgets allow us to easily analyze the data and make critical business decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sisense has a robust and effective support system. Whatever problems, questions, or issues we have had have been resolved in a quick ans efficient manner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a lot of data spread around in different locations. Sisense allowed us to pull all that data into one location and feel confident that it is validated and verified. The sisense widgets allow us to visually represent the data to the users in a way that they can do a quick analysis.

Excellent community support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could benefit from a little more options for end-users to enable modify dashboards such as setting individual thresholds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using sisense as OEM to provide multiple customers with reports about contact center performance and statistics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Implementors will require high-level of SQL knowledge.
Some Javascript knowledge is recommended but not essential.
Some Javascript knowledge is recommended but not essential.
Excellent BI tool for users with a wide range of experience
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Sisense is the simplistic and flexible dashboard interface which allows even the least experienced user create great looking dashboards but also has the scope for more experienced analysts to perform some big data analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some formatting options to make the dashboard completely branded to you liking is a small drawback. Some do not exist in Sisense and some are difficult to implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have 2 major uses, 1 for client facing dashboards, and a second internal resource where Sisense is used to pool together our various data reports from different platforms into one universal report.
Easy to Implement and Share, easily extensible, the future looks bright!
What do you like best about the product?
Connecting to multiple data sets from multiple different types of sources is extremely easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Other platforms have greater variety of visualizations and controls out of the box, however, that granularity adds a level of complication that Sisense breezes past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting further and further away from one-off reporting and into a streamlined, easily accessible source for all data needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't need hard-core data science, are okay with once in a while needing a hack-y coding quirk to get something working just the way you want it, or have a lot of varied and different data sources, give Sisense a look!
Sisense: Great but not perfect
What do you like best about the product?
Sisense has great functionality. It's ability to easily manipulate data schemas, throw up elasticubes and generate reports. The API functionality is really useful, and the concept is really well thought out in terms of side features like CSV exports, widgets, APIs, and alerts
What do you dislike about the product?
When elasticubes fail, some errors are impossible to really know what caused it. We had cases where cube builds would somehow trigger a "Server was unexpectedly shutdown during the build process". Or "Elasticube is having difficulty building". I wish there were measures to prevent entire machine crashes. For example, I wish there were ways Sisense would automatically kill builds that took up 100% RAM & CPU because then the entire service goes down
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are unifying our efforts of the Business teams with the information we are providing them. This has been hard for us in the past between teams in the US and EU. We will be embedding reports into our product in the future
