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.

Pros

"This tool is mainly used for forecasting, and it will, for sure, help all the organizations that need data/reports on expenses and headcount forecasting."
"Well certainly this product has helped many finance users in the organization as this product enables them to see the numbers for any cost center and business unit and also get a consolidated view of group level numbers."
"This product offers a wide range of corporate performance management tools for powerful financial consolidation, planning and reporting."
"Khalix is a simple tool that builds on existing data sources to develop solutions in forecasting, planning and consolidation needs."
"We found the ease of use to be our primary factor for choosing Sisense."
"Sisense is an excellent tool set, hitting all of the BI sweet spots and stacking up very well against the top players in the BI market."
"Reduced time to complete paper-based quarterly reports from one month to one day using Sisense to create dashboards."
"​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"We monetize Sisense to our customers so they can transform it into their application, and it works as a native application."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"We implemented the solution into an environment that had been using Excel as a business intelligence tool with data delivered on a monthly basis and we have freed our sales staff from being Excel pivot table experts."

Cons

"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes."
"The application lacks a control of the exporting function."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"Sisense is not able to handle three-dimensional data."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
