Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me.""When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."

"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution.""We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations.""Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct.""ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data.""The solution's technical support team is good.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free.""There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."

Cons
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement.""The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform.""The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."

"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 love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""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 administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""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.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
