Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance.
Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice.  The MDX IDE is fabulous. They respond quickly and responsibly to support requests.  New features in the reporting module…

Unified finance dashboards have accelerated data-driven decisions and improved forecasting
The best features Sisense offers include that it is fast due to its In-Chip methodology. It uses great visualization. BI becomes easy with Sisense. Millions of data can be loaded in a few seconds, which did not seem possible with other traditional reporting tools. It has a robust architecture and provides REST APIs to access it externally. That speed impacts my workflow significantly as it represents the greatest step and latest in the business intelligence market. It provides In-Chip technology for accessing millions of data in the shortest span of seconds and provides the best visual efforts for our business data to make data-driven decisions easily. Sisense has positively impacted my organization as it reduces the time it takes to obtain an optimal return on investments. It delivers the instant analysis required to merge our financial numbers and statistics with a pretty accurate dashboard landscape. Hence, we are able to make data-driven decisions easily. Sisense has improved our decision-making speed and saved my team, especially the data team, time. They are able to focus on more strategic other tasks because Sisense has done the work of providing analytics and deep insights where we are able to make data-driven analytics easily.

Pros

"Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice."
"Now, they can just go into their Sisense dashboard, look at the dashboard, and see the data immediately."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"Sisense is an excellent tool set, hitting all of the BI sweet spots and stacking up very well against the top players in the BI market."
"We found the ease of use to be our primary factor for choosing Sisense."
"Sisense is one of the best BI tools that can load more data and has consistently no downtime compared to other modern BI tools."
"Sisense can do both in a much much faster way, which drives our reporting efficiency into another level."
"The Sisense solution was very easy to set up, and its visualizations were effective."
"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."
 

Cons

"As with many products, the documentation is light in some areas."
"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."
"When your data cubes become too complex (many layers of custom tables), the performance of the tool might be slightly affected."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"Some flexibility with the labeling of visualizations would be nice."
"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 like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"There are some functionalities missing regarding built-in capabilities, which can only be added by using JavaScript, requiring technical knowledge from the dashboard designer to implement."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
