Easy to get embedded and meets basic dashboard needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s not very designer-friendly for anyone who doesn’t use JavaScript (or similar tools). I find it very difficult to manipulate the dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think Sisense is a good tool for modeling and dashboarding. It helps with automated reporting, which is really convenient. I particularly value the Sisense ElastiCube method as well. It's important for my team as it helps us get data and modify it based on our needs. Additionally, the Sisense team is very helpful, making the initial setup process smooth and without much issue.

Many-to-many joins cause issues all the time, but the development team helps me with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

custom data groups and flexible dashboard design. also integration with most of data platforms are vailable. The flexibility of implementation and infrastructure is added advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the update functionality that is not available in Sisense cause duplication of data and the performance of the dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the simple data modeling, and I really appreciate the clear way it distinguishes between live and cubed models. The Dashboards have tons of visualization options and you can even use custom plugins. You have full control over dashboard performance with live and cube models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the AI features still leave a bit to be desired. I’d really like the AI to do more to help with modeling and with creating dashboards, since that’s where it would be most useful for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Flexibility is the big win here. Like most analytics platforms, it isn’t going to do everything we need right out of the box. Sisense gives us the ability to customize just about everything, which makes it much easier to shape the product around what we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not really a dislike but I think they could provide additional, detailed examples of some of the more complex customizations like creating your own widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ability to customize widgets and look and feel to very fine details, including font, color, size of text, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The cubes and the need to build cubes, we always seem to have a lot of hassles with builds sometimes failing, designs of infrastructure not done properly, etc., and this causes a lot of hassle. It's also hard to do translations for all of our widgets/dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All the different data connector options are great, and It makes it easy to develop data models with the Elasticubes and Live models. This makes it easy for people without a strong data modeling background it develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When designing dashboards, I find the customization options very limited. Aside from out of the box features and add-ons, it's difficult to customize without knowing how to develop scripts or having to purchase an additional plugin from a 3rd party. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was really helpful for me to use the reports for all my work tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A bit hard to use for beginners, but after you learn it's fine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Sisense is pretty simple for new users to get into and start doing things with it. Building is pretty quick, which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have a whole setup of using Elastic cubes, which can be really difficult to manage and oversee data security for them. Additionally, some of the interface of building analytics that are immediately in full dashboard view can be a little hard to get version control done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sisense offers developers an intuitive interface. Building models (live and elastic) is easy and straightforward. Basic capabilities are easy to learn and adapt. There is a range of widgets to choose from. I'm personally a fan of Blox given its versatility.
As a service, the support we receive for issues and queries is always outstanding. Though some issues take longer to be resolved, we are kept up to date on the progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We struggled integrating it with Slack. Some of the basic widget customisations need custom scripting (if it is a frequently requested feature/capability the team strives to add it in the upcoming product releases, which is good). Having to purchase addons from third-party vendors for basic features is not ideal.
Lacks the ability to search for a metric to identify which dashboard contains it unless the metric is explicitly mentioned in the dashboard name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Priscilla- nice to hear from you! We're glad to hear that you find Sisense to be a versatile and intuitive BI tool and that you appreciate the range of widgets and the outstanding support. We understand your concerns about the integration with Slack and the need for custom scripting for basic widget customizations.
