"It was easy to install and implement a report with it."
"We prefer having the analytic capabilities in a single platform, like MicroStrategy provides, because it is easier. The customer gets used to one type of tool, then sticks with it."
"I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability."
"The scalability is great. It was one of the selling points for us on MicroStrategy."
"Transaction Services, that was really the part of the tool that made it very compelling for us, because it gave the opportunity to drive action."
"It has the potential to become a great evangelist for AI and other embedded analytics."
"It is a great tool and has the best offerings for doing data analysis."
"It's an open platform. That's also important. You can create your own data connectors. There's everything you can do with APIs. It's not closed like, perhaps, an SAP system might be."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
"The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."
"Visually displaying data."
"Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"Its price should be lower. In terms of features, what we have is quite encompassing right now."
"The solution lacks good visualization. They should work on the user interface to make it more slick and modern."
"Something I would be interested in is more visualizations, because right now we use SDK to create some. If there were more out-of-the-box options, we would be happy with that."
"You can now do data blending at the document level and data blending allows you to show results from different data sets in one grid, so to speak. I want to be able to create a data set that can receive data from multiple cubes, have it in one data set, and then bring it to the document, because then I can reuse it for other documents. Now, I have to do it in a document and then it's less reusable, because if I want to share that functionality, I have to copy the document, strip a lot of things, and then work on that basic element that I've built in that document."
"It needs row-level security, column-level security, on attributes. I want to be able to handle full-scale security model from the semantic layer, flat out."
"Data writeback, and on-the-fly predictive analysis results from R and Python could be improved."
"Scalability is something which will need to be improved when it goes to a bigger audience."
"The learning curve is quite steep."
"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."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"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."
"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."
