Cons
"There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"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.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""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.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""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.""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."
