Streamlined our data visualization and analysis processes, enabling less technical team members to handle data-driven tasks independently
Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities. While it serves well for data visualization, it lacks more dynamic features that allow users to interact with data directly through the dashboard. For the next release, including interactive widgets and reporting tools that allow actions on digital assets directly from the dashboard would be beneficial. This functionality would make Superset a more comprehensive digital analytics platform suitable for interactive data exploration and operational management. Implementing actionable buttons for security controls and dashboard management could significantly enhance user interaction, making it more suitable for real-time data manipulation and decision-making.

A cloud solution to centralize and analyze all processes with technical support
There are multiple stages of the availability. The first primary thing is cost. The second one is how large your data is and whether you want to research data in real-time or if it's frequency-based. There are much better solutions like Superset or Looker. If you look at consolidated data that refreshes regularly, like once daily, Sisense is definitely on the good side. It doesn't offer anything extra except for the good visualizations. Sisense is on top of the market. There is an associated brand value. If you want to share reports with the clients, that would also be easier. We were evaluating Sisense, but the pricing was too high for us. We decided to try it and purchased an initial membership plan for 10 or 13 people. We worked directly with the Sisense team, but for a long time, we could not onboard our dataset. We explored multiple solutions, including onboarding a sample dataset first or directly catching the data through queries inside items. This is their primary KPI and USP - you can write questions in site settings and people. We tried to host this somehow, but all of our attempts failed. After multiple discussions, I could onboard the queries directly with the help of the support team. We have dashboards all over the place. It was getting tough for us to track down where the information was. We needed a central location where all the dashboards are present. We were also hopeful that the AI features in Sisense could help us point to deeper insights that we cannot find ourselves all the time. We were evaluating between Sisense, Superset, and Looker Studio. And I think Sisense is relatively fast compared to Looker Studio, for sure. Looker Studio also has some build problems, such as the inability to support custom queries. So, it's not a scalable solution for us. One person currently does maintenance, but we are considering two or three for this job. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Pros

"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."

"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"Visually displaying data."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."

Cons

"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."

"The solution's setup process could be easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
