Sisense has some limitations, especially in rendering tables or graphs. For example, if you want to perform custom sorting or searching based on multiple columns, that becomes quite tricky. Providing more control over how the data is sorted or filtered would be quite useful. Additionally, it could provide more connectors to integrate with emerging different data sources to exponentially increase the amount of data it can handle. Sisense should provide more support for CI/CD, as we found the CI/CD approach quite limited, which is something that can be worked on. Some data scientists suggested more features can be offered by providing different models for data analytics. Sisense can improve by adding more features for handling complex schemas and making the pricing straightforward. The dashboarding features are good enough, but additional features could make it even more attractive. Also, CI/CD support or source control support would be really helpful.

"Sisense can integrate with multiple sources at one time."
"We dropped Excel and saved hours of finance team work, with automated reports and dashboards."

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."

"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Sisense has some limitations, especially in rendering tables or graphs. For example, if you want to perform custom sorting or searching based on multiple columns, that becomes quite tricky."
"I would like to see an improvement in the live data connection, specifically making the process faster."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"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."
