Unified finance dashboards have accelerated data-driven decisions and improved forecasting
The best features Sisense offers include that it is fast due to its In-Chip methodology. It uses great visualization. BI becomes easy with Sisense. Millions of data can be loaded in a few seconds, which did not seem possible with other traditional reporting tools. It has a robust architecture and provides REST APIs to access it externally. That speed impacts my workflow significantly as it represents the greatest step and latest in the business intelligence market. It provides In-Chip technology for accessing millions of data in the shortest span of seconds and provides the best visual efforts for our business data to make data-driven decisions easily. Sisense has positively impacted my organization as it reduces the time it takes to obtain an optimal return on investments. It delivers the instant analysis required to merge our financial numbers and statistics with a pretty accurate dashboard landscape. Hence, we are able to make data-driven decisions easily. Sisense has improved our decision-making speed and saved my team, especially the data team, time. They are able to focus on more strategic other tasks because Sisense has done the work of providing analytics and deep insights where we are able to make data-driven analytics easily.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"Overall I think, it is a fantastic value-for-money analysis tool and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who looks for a up-to-date BI solution that can be customized to your specific needs."
"ROI was realized immediately by reducing manual report labor."
"Sisense also allowed us to achieve some less conventional projects like abstracting the effect of the price increases on our sales."
"Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct."
"ROI is very good. The amount of money spent to users served is very low."
"We dropped Excel and saved hours of finance team work, with automated reports and dashboards."
"We have been very pleased with our experience with Sisense to date."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"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."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
"I'd like to see branding features and more layout possibilities."
"Regarding Sisense, the AI functionalities of the AI assistant are lacking compared to others, and I think they can work on that to make it easier to use and broaden the scope."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is cost-effective, but for smaller organizations working under a tight budget, this tool might be a bit expensive for them."
"I believe Sisense can improve by integrating more cloud capabilities and developing a built-in AI tool to help users build dashboards in real-time, which would make it easier and could increase profitability."
"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."
