Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."
"It offers a lot of information and is very flexible and interactive."
"Reports, dashboards, and visualizations are most valuable."
"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."
"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is real-time report tracking."
"Its seamless integration with Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Excel, is the most valuable."
"It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"This solution is resource-heavy."
"Integration with products that are not Microsoft could be more improved."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
"This solution needs integration with SAS and more deep analysis functionality."
"We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed."
"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."
"The visual outlet or the visualization aspect can be improved because the settings piece is quite problematic. It requires a lot of time to set the visuals and check. It is quite fiddly to change all the settings and font sizes. It just needs better ability in terms of using templates or visualization templates to get the vision. Our users always benchmark based on the product, and they don't appreciate everything under the bonnet. The only rating is based on the actual reports in the settings for the dashboard. They should make it look a bit funky and a bit more aesthetically pleasing on the eye. It is quite a fiddly tool, but other than that, it is pretty slick. Because it is community-driven, the marketplace tends to be changing forever. You get the standard visualizations, and you've also got all other marketplace visualizations that require you to spend a bit more money and purchase things in the marketplace. With certain visualizations, there is no longevity. I had used certain visualizations, but they discontinued them, and I had to rebuild my reports, which is obviously very frustrating. There should be some sort of stabilization around how the marketplace visuals impact the users when they expire."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
"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."
"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."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
