Easy to set up with good data integration and data virtualization
We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers. There needs to be better integrations with other solutions and there need to be more tools (including virtualization tools) and utilities between this solution and Hadoop. For example, Oracle has a product called Big Data SQL and it built a bridge between Hadoop and Oracle's database to make things easier for developers. The solution needs to be more stable.

Has improved project turnaround time with customizable dashboards and faster data delivery to stakeholders
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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution's most valuable aspects are its data integration and data virtualization."
"With this product, they get all the data; it's good quality and refreshed frequently so the customer is able to pull more valuable insights for their business."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is open source."
"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."
"The Sisense solution was very easy to set up, and its visualizations were effective."
"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."
"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."
"We monetize Sisense to our customers so they can transform it into their application, and it works as a native application."
"In a short period of time, my team acquired the necessary skills to deploy a very high quality BI tool across the company, integrating all our data sources and building dashboards expected by different business units for a long time."
"Sisense can integrate with multiple sources at one time."
 

Cons

"We've had some issues with stability."
"The solution needs to improve the functionality of the auto-deduplication."
"We developed the solution based on Hadoop, but using Hadoop as a relationship database, it's hard to maintain and recruit developers."
"They lack the ability to respond to issues in a timely manner."
"Sisense doesn't have connections with statistical packages like R, SAS, etc."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"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."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"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."
"The only thing I am missing is the option to plug in any data from any source easily since Sisense only offers a limited amount of supported data providers."
"Admins can't view all of the dashboards when needed; only dashboards that have been shared with the admins."
