Pros
"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.""No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution.""There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes.""Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data.""The solution's technical support team is good.""The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."

"It's scalable.""I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products.""One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis.""Data discovery is very simple.""It’s stable and straightforward.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it.""The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."

Cons
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""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.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""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.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""The solution's setup process could be easier."

More Sisense Cons →

"When you do the data loading, it is slow.""The initial setup can be difficult.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
