Data analytics has transformed our KPI tracking and now drives faster sales decisions
This tool has given me the power to convert data into new analytical applications, giving me transparency about working on multiple platforms, and since it is cloud-based, it combines different pages for a complete progress report. Overall, it is playing a perfect, fantastic role in my organization. Some of the best features Sisense offers include its speed due to the In-Chip methodology, great visualization that makes BI easier, and the ability to load millions of data in seconds, which did not seem possible with other traditional reporting tools. It also has a robust architecture and provides REST APIs for external access. I emphasized the In-Chip methodology because it allows for accessing millions of data in a short span of seconds while providing the best visual effects for our business data.

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
"For very complicated blended data from multiple sources we would like Sisense to add a "nerd mode" where we can geek out without the visual connecting of tables and data elements."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes."
"Some flexibility with the labeling of visualizations would be nice."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Admins can't view all of the dashboards when needed; only dashboards that have been shared with the admins."
