Sisense Reviews

What do you like best about Sisense?Sisense provides advanced reporting solutions for our clients and helps fill gaps in what’s available through our standard in-product reports.What do you dislike about Sisense?There’s a known delay in data refresh between our platform and Sisense. While it isn’t terrible, it can still create issues when building reports, reviewing or adjusting platform data, and then validating the final dashboard or widget results.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?Sisense solves the limitations of our in-platform reporting.

What do you like best about Sisense?I really appreciate that Sisense displays all the information I need in one place and I can smoothly use it within my platform. It's great that I can connect directly to different data sources and transform the data, so I can easily compare information from various sources. I also like that I can ask questions directly to my data for deeper analysis. Building dashboards with no code is a big plus, and I love that more technical users can customize views with scripts and more detailed coding, especially using the Compose SDK. The Compose SDK is super valuable for self-service BI as it allows me to customize everything and render views and widgets directly on my front end. Connecting with our data warehouse and other data sources was easy, and creating dashboards was super easy post data modeling in the elastic cubes.What do you dislike about Sisense?I'd love to be able to connect LLMs other than OpenAI.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?Sisense displays all data I need in one place, lets me connect different data sources, transform data for comparisons, and drill down with questions for deeper analysis. It also helps use natural language to interact with the data.

What do you like best about Sisense?The UI/UX is straightforward and easy to use, both for building dashboards and for creating or modifying Elastic Cubes. Integrations have worked seamlessly for our organisation. Support is readily available, and there’s also a solid amount of documentation online when we need it.What do you dislike about Sisense?Performance is the only real gripe I have with Sisense. Cube builds don’t perform well when they’re handling heavy data loads.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?It allows us to build custom reports in a timely manner using the data we capture in our system.

What do you like best about Sisense?I use Sisense for displaying complex data analysis on our platform. I like the drag-and-drop feature for creating dashboards, which can range from very simple to very complex, allowing me to focus on the data rather than coding. The customizability is a major plus for me, especially being able to use SQL to model the data and tailor the dashboard UI. Sisense supports various widget types, making it easy to theme dashboards and display data intuitively.What do you dislike about Sisense?At this point, we are a cloud customer and the timing we need to observe of the ETL leaves our data out of date almost as fast as we can get it in there due to the size of our clusters, we can only build so much at a time without overwhelming the system or incurring much more cost.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?I use Sisense to display complex data analysis with customizable dashboards and SQL-type queries, allowing me to focus on the data instead of coding the dashboard. The dashboard UI is flexible with various widget types, making data intuitive.

What do you like best about Sisense?Embedding analytics into SaaS products What do you dislike about Sisense?developer-first AI analyticsRecommendations to others considering Sisense?Dashboard UX feels dated What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?memory-heavy and slowness

What do you like best about Sisense?Flexibility is the big win here. Like most analytics platforms, it isn’t going to do everything we need right out of the box. Sisense gives us the ability to customize just about everything, which makes it much easier to shape the product around what we need.What do you dislike about Sisense?Not really a dislike but I think they could provide additional, detailed examples of some of the more complex customizations like creating your own widgets.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?With the level of customizations Sisense provides we are able to provide our customers with great analytics.

What do you like best about Sisense?I like the ability to customize widgets and look and feel to very fine details, including font, color, size of text, etc.What do you dislike about Sisense?The cubes and the need to build cubes, we always seem to have a lot of hassles with builds sometimes failing, designs of infrastructure not done properly, etc., and this causes a lot of hassle. It's also hard to do translations for all of our widgets/dashboards.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?Sisense solves the design and analysis of our insights and enables our customers to analyze data we have collected for them.

What do you like best about Sisense?I appreciated the intuitive user interface.What do you dislike about Sisense?There's nothing I dislike about Sisense.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?Sisense is assisting us in aggregating and analyzing data in ways we are unable to in our native application.

What do you like best about Sisense?I love the polished and intuitive user interface of Sisense. The integration capabilities are impressive, ranging from non-embedded options to iframes and an SDK that we can leverage in our application. The 'compose SDK' is well documented and provides easy-to-follow examples for integrating within a React application. It's great that we can build Sisense into our product and offer useful information directly through the app. The transition from Exago to Sisense was pretty easy, and having a Jasper Reports plugin for legacy reports that need to be pixel-perfect is a great asset.What do you dislike about Sisense?The elasticache feature is probably our least used feature because of the way our databases need to be queried and cross database schemas joined together. It isn't supported in the elasticube. We tried to use the build for RedShift that leverages elasticube, but we eventually stopped using it altogether. Another area for improvement would be with the Git integration. Initially, it seemed like what we needed, but our engineers decided it does not fit our needs. It seems more geared towards people with a staging Sisense deployment and a production, whereas we only have one.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?I use Sisense to combine multiple multi-tenant databases, enabling customers to query and build dashboards with data across their business.

What do you like best about Sisense?I like Sisense's ability to manipulate complex data and visualize it in a clear way. It is useful to have the option to change the type of join I use between custom tables, like using left join, right join, or outer join when linking tables together. I also appreciate that the dashboard side is very easy to navigate. Additionally, the initial setup of Sisense was very easy.What do you dislike about Sisense?Ease of navigation within the Elasticube has been disappointing. There's a bug where, after editing a table, clicking elsewhere in the cube causes the table I just edited to move to that location. This results in some unwanted joins being made.What problems is Sisense solving and how is that benefiting you?I use Sisense to manipulate complex data and visualize it clearly, which helps me in data analysis and dashboard building.
