"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis.""The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it.""Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs.

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.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""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.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""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."

More Sisense Cons →

"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation.""I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist.""The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced.""We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools.""When you do the data loading, it is slow."
