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 have been very pleased with our experience with Sisense to date."
"Reduced time to complete paper-based quarterly reports from one month to one day using Sisense to create dashboards."
"The customer service provided by Sisense is excellent; it's clear that the company is invested in their clients successfully implementing and using their product."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources, and Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"It's really user friendly and fast, so I can use the product during customer meetings not only to show dashboards, but to create and process data analytics in real-time, making it perfect for consultant workshops where you can't work with static dashboards."
"The Sisense data cube allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is cost-effective, but for smaller organizations working under a tight budget, this tool might be a bit expensive for them."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
"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."
"During the introductory training, our trainer wasn't able to accompany us on this subject and there is no return on experience from the community, probably because integration with R seems to be new."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would say that using Sisense on Linux's platform might not be advantageous for everyone."
