Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools. Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs. The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great. The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed. | I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful. It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud. Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff. Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel. The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards. No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution. A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free. Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful. |
Cons | |
Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help. There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data. The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice. Colours used on report objects | 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. I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes. 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 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. The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing. |
