What differentiates Sisense from other similar products?

Sisense is the only analytics platform which I know of , that allows me to ask questions from my data in everyday language. This is most helpful for non-technical users, because it ensures that they learn enough about the data they are trying to analyze.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The flexibility and ease of use which comes with Sisense is what has impressed me the most. As a user, I am allowed to select from code-first , no-code or low code tools. This enables me to build analytics dashboards at my own level of expertise and pace.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Have sometimes encountered memory issues when loading data into parallel data models. Also, while compiling reports on Sisense , I am unable to use strings for comparison and rather forced to run my calculations within my data models .

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Regardless of its advanced feature-set which can be frightening for first time users, Sisense has an analytics platform that can simply be used by every data and insights professional , not minding their level of expertise.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Security Protects

Easy to use tool to visualize data.

What differentiates Sisense from other similar products?

Provide a visualization layer to our clients in order for them to acquire actionable insights into the outcomes. It enables enterprises to directly construct dashboards in order to learn how they may improve. Sisense spends much on their Linux web system, which is excellent. We've built various dashboards with data that may examine the important company KPIs on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Users may acquire useful insights and infer about the uncommon business situation, and the dashboard data can be downloaded to PDF, Excel, or CSV.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Sisense can feed numerous datasets into one internal place, which contains all of my relationships. Sisense provides a very nice and simple online interface. Users in groups can collaborate to generate simple analyses. They are constantly adding new features to Sisense. The ability to personalize the details displayed appears to be one of Sisense key strengths. We can build live dashboards or dashboards based on elastic cubes that can pull data from many data sources. There are several color palettes accessible, and the developer may choose the one that is needed.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes it takes a long time to load the dashboards, resulting in a poor user experience. If no people use a dashboard, your cube continues to eat memory, increasing the overall memory usage and hence the time it takes to load. Sisense's loading and widget customisation are lacking. Indexing tables, particularly pivot tables, might be indexed more frequently. Upgrades to later versions have been necessitated by complicated security mechanisms. I'd want to resize the tabs over numerous rows and update the aesthetics.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Sisense is a simple and straightforward tool that is simple to understand. Create a simple cube and dashboard to test your comprehension and functioning. Make certain that you have all of the tools necessary to combine the appropriate data sets. Also, make sure it meets your requirements since once you've built your cube, you won't be able to change the datasets without restarting the procedure. Integrating data into a data cube simplifies and secures access to all required data sources.

Advanced BI tool with built-in performance support

What differentiates Sisense from other similar products?

Sisense is adept at solving business issues, but its most crucial value to the end user is simplicity. For the end user who lacks technical understanding, the look is fairly straightforward. The beautiful thing about Sisense is that it can be used for both reporting and analysis. We utilize Sisense to offer high-level information while also allowing us to go deeper into the fundamental cause of the problem. We hope that our clients will take use of the Pulse and Alerting function, which is an excellent addition to any reporting tool.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I enjoy Sisense simplicity; creating the Jquery code lets the user to personalize the display way they like. One of the finest things Sisense does is store metadata in MongoDB. It improves dashboard speed and data presentation significantly. Sisense plugins are quite handy for developing dashboards and presenting out-of-the-box capabilities. The board experience is sheer delight once the cube is ready. There are several widgets from which to construct excellent visualizations. Sisense has built a fantastic community where users can discuss tips and ideas.

What do you dislike most about this product?

If you don't save your data on a daily basis, date aggregation gets difficult, and the UI occasionally crashes. Minor difficulties with widget settings: auto scaling occasionally fails when several chart kinds are used (combined charts). Building cubes takes some practice. It's not obvious, and your expertise of structured query language may be insufficient. Sisense develops the software swiftly, however updates occasionally fail, resulting in unexpected behavior.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I strongly recommend Sisense to handle your end-to-end reporting and analytics challenge. You can fix your problem quickly and intuitively. Sisense should be your first choice for an integrated BI solution. Supporting hundreds of millions of entries without a separate BI optimized database may provide a challenge. However, if your data collections are tiny, Sisense is likely the most cost-effective choice.
