Dashboard organization could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sisense AI capabilities allowed our team to translate complex data into clear insights and deliver reports to our clients faster. The ease of use of the platform is convenient for users that aren't as proficient at SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allowing more guest/viewer users would be helpful as we keep having to reassign licenses. Having user privileges easier to find on dashboard views would be nice as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a HIGHLY customizable platform once you understand it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has some basic limitations like sorting filter items by a second field. For example, you can have days of week in order in a filter unless you apply a very ugly workaround. Outer joins were not available until very recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Sisense for business intelligence, data visualization, and reporting. I really appreciate its easy-to-use interface, which allows me to work faster without needing advanced technical knowledge. I can quickly build and customize dashboards using drag-and-drop features, saving time and effort. I like that Sisense performs quickly and makes sharing dashboards easy. The ability to create interactive dashboards quickly makes Sisense especially valuable for turning complex data into clear, visual insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes advanced features take time to learn, and dashboard customization can feel limited without deeper technical knowledge. Sisense could improve advanced features by offering clearer in-product guidance, step-by-step tutorials, and more examples for complex analytics. For dashboard customization, additional layout flexibility, more visualization options, and simpler controls for advanced settings would make it easier for non-technical users.

Sisense’s enhanced AI-driven analytics and embedded BI capabilities stand out. The ability to integrate data from multiple sources and generate real-time insights with minimal latency is very impressive. I also like how user-friendly the dashboards have become, making it easier for both technical and non-technical users to derive insights quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sisense can improve in terms of global data representation and accessibility, especially in underrepresented regions like South Asia. Expanding data coverage and improving data accuracy for diverse geographies would make insights more reliable. Additionally, simplifying some advanced configurations and improving documentation for new users would enhance the overall user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Sisense easy to use and read. It allows teams to monitor client spend and activity efficiently, which is incredibly helpful for reporting on revenue. I also value the downloadable reports feature, which makes accessing important information straightforward. The initial setup of Sisense was easy, making it a smooth transition when I started at the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sisense seems quite cluttered, and there is no training provided, it seems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy Sisense makes it to analyze and visualize data. The dashboards are clean, customizable, and very intuitive to use. I also appreciate the speed at which it processes large datasets and how smoothly it integrates data from multiple sources. It helps me combine multiple data sources, visualize trends, and make data-driven decisions quickly. Sisense offers better data integration, more powerful dashboards, and a smoother user experience, so switching made our analytics workflow much more efficient. The initial setup of Sisense was quite easy and straightforward. The onboarding guides and documentation were clear, and most configurations were simple to follow. Overall, the setup process was much easier than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes large datasets take a little longer to refresh, and a few advanced customization options require more technical knowledge. Adding more built-in visualization styles would also make dashboard creation even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is more of a common style at this point. Speed is good initially, but can be bogged down on larger datasets. The newer release has improved Excel export speed considerably, but the dashboards themselves can be slow to load. The plugin library has been expanded, though we have found many require coding - simple enough but many users are not capable of doing that for ad-hoc reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The clear expectation of the developers is that report authors would be technical resources with access to the eCube. User-facing report development UI still does not include formula logic for non-numeric results. No "Left(, 5)" to get the beginning of a string; that would need to be done at the eCube level as a new reportable field. Support for the Windows version of the software has lagged considerably, though new development on Linux continues. Some additions to the UI for formatting (like adding a checkbox for word wrap) has happened, but not extensively. Many text formatting options still require writing little widget scripts.

There are a lot of plug in vendors with usefull stuff. Also, if you invest enough time figuring out the kinks of the javascript and workings of sisense you can develop some really cool features. The cube db system they use is good for a low code approach.

The costumer Support is usually quick and helpfull.

Integration with other systems is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the UI, it is not user friendly, building dashboards and preparing the exports requires quite a lot of time invested into the platform, it is really hard to have a ready to go product even with your own development on top of it.

Ease of use is definitely not a plus on sisense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Sisense's ability to easily create dashboards and widgets to be a huge benefit. This feature allows me to slice and filter widgets to dive deeper into areas of interest for leadership. I particularly appreciate the drill down capabilities, as they are incredibly helpful in exploring data layers. The customization options, especially through dashboard and widget scripts, have made a significant impact on how our data is presented and highlighted. For instance, using widget scripts to tailor the look and feel of widgets ensures they meet specific visual requirements. Additionally, I created a dashboard script that effectively displays the date filter in the widget title for our embedded dashboards, which conveniently allows users to see the date range at a glance without having to scroll back. Overall, these features significantly enhance our ability to gain deeper insights from our data and have been vital in making our data visualization more effective and user-friendly.

I find the query builder in Sisense lacking in some areas, such as the ability to run multiple queries simultaneously. This limitation forces me to toggle between browser windows when I need to compare queries, which is inconvenient. It would be much more efficient if I could view comparison queries in the same window, similar to how SQL Server operates. Additionally, the error messages in the query builder can be too vague, especially when dealing with nested queries, making troubleshooting more difficult than it needs to be. These issues hinder my workflow and create unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
