There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have."
"It integrates with all of the Microsoft tools."
"There is a lot of help and documentation on the Internet, so no special training is needed to use the source code."
"Technical support has been great."

"I would like to see more AI capabilities in future releases. There's a strong interest in AI, including technologies like GPT, which facilitate real-time interactions."
"There are certain features that are only available in the cloud version. It would be beneficial if they could be brought down to the on-premise version without the necessity of using the enterprise SQL database, as that can be very costly. We need more cost-effective features that are available in the cloud to be accessible on-premise."
"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."
"It is not the right tool to do deeper analysis or predictions. When you have some data and you want to do some deep analysis, there is no feature to help you with this."

"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."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"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."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
