Cons
"Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"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""The solution's setup process could be easier.""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.""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.""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.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
