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.

Cons

"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."

"Sisense doesn't have connections with statistical packages like R, SAS, etc."
"Users with viewer access have less capabilities than similar users in Tableau."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"

"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"Some flexibility with the labeling of visualizations would be nice."
"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."
