Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively
RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
"Visually displaying data."
"​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful."
"ROI was realized immediately by reducing manual report labor."
"Sisense can integrate with multiple sources at one time."
"The Sisense data cube allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources, and Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"Deploying it was smooth as butter, and there was little to no down time after lab testing."
 

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
"The application lacks a control of the exporting function."
"Sisense doesn't have connections with statistical packages like R, SAS, etc."
"Admins can't view all of the dashboards when needed; only dashboards that have been shared with the admins."
"Sometimes the platform works great, but other times, it's a drag and users are always on our necks to speed it up."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
"Some have outright rejected it due to lacking visualization and readouts."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"When your data cubes become too complex (many layers of custom tables), the performance of the tool might be slightly affected."
