The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

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

"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
"The best features Sisense offers include ease of use and the ability to associate the API integration down to the dashboard, which made it a little less overhead for us to scale the product into our existing SaaS platform, along with the availability of professional services that helped to get our development off the ground."
"Sisense also allowed us to achieve some less conventional projects like abstracting the effect of the price increases on our sales."
"Reduced time to complete paper-based quarterly reports from one month to one day using Sisense to create dashboards."
"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."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"Sisense is one of the best BI tools that can load more data and has consistently no downtime compared to other modern BI tools."
 

Cons

"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
"I did encounter an issue with the Dashboard load time to be slow considering that we had a basic dashboard with five reports and no more than 300 rows was disconcerting."
"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"
"Users with viewer access have less capabilities than similar users in Tableau."
"I would say that using Sisense on Linux's platform might not be advantageous for everyone."
"The document is definitely a sore spot as well as the limited inner join functionality of the cubes."
"Sisense is not able to handle three-dimensional data."
"The application lacks a control of the exporting function."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compared to Power BI or Tableau, Sisense is much more expensive."
