Cons
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."

More Information Builders WebFOCUS Cons →

"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""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.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
