Cons
"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.""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.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""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.""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."
