Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Now, we have only one version of the truth.""I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code.""It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT.""The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic.""It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes.""Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently.""Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day.""It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."

"Visually displaying data.""This solution is easy to learn how to use.""It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud.""​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct.""We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations.""The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources.""ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."

Cons
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use.""It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly.""The initial setup was very complex for us.""Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules.""We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. ​""I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon.""The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful.""The setup was a bit complex."

More Board Cons →

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""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.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""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.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
