Sisense has some limitations, especially in rendering tables or graphs. For example, if you want to perform custom sorting or searching based on multiple columns, that becomes quite tricky. Providing more control over how the data is sorted or filtered would be quite useful. Additionally, it could provide more connectors to integrate with emerging different data sources to exponentially increase the amount of data it can handle. Sisense should provide more support for CI/CD, as we found the CI/CD approach quite limited, which is something that can be worked on. Some data scientists suggested more features can be offered by providing different models for data analytics. Sisense can improve by adding more features for handling complex schemas and making the pricing straightforward. The dashboarding features are good enough, but additional features could make it even more attractive. Also, CI/CD support or source control support would be really helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"We implemented the solution into an environment that had been using Excel as a business intelligence tool with data delivered on a monthly basis and we have freed our sales staff from being Excel pivot table experts."
"In a short period of time, my team acquired the necessary skills to deploy a very high quality BI tool across the company, integrating all our data sources and building dashboards expected by different business units for a long time."
"Overall I think, it is a fantastic value-for-money analysis tool and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who looks for a up-to-date BI solution that can be customized to your specific needs."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"We dropped Excel and saved hours of finance team work, with automated reports and dashboards."
"We found the ease of use to be our primary factor for choosing Sisense."
"We monetize Sisense to our customers so they can transform it into their application, and it works as a native application."
"Sisense can do both in a much much faster way, which drives our reporting efficiency into another level."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
"Some flexibility with the labeling of visualizations would be nice."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"I'd like to see branding features and more layout possibilities."
"The only thing I am missing is the option to plug in any data from any source easily since Sisense only offers a limited amount of supported data providers."
"The application lacks a control of the exporting function."
