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

Pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
"Sisense positively impacts our organization by speeding up the process of getting and presenting the data to customers or stakeholders, which normally takes a lot of time due to curation and presentation efforts."
"​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"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."
"It's really user friendly and fast, so I can use the product during customer meetings not only to show dashboards, but to create and process data analytics in real-time, making it perfect for consultant workshops where you can't work with static dashboards."
"Sisense can do both in a much much faster way, which drives our reporting efficiency into another level."
"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."
"Sisense has positively impacted my organization as it has been one of the best tools available, because since we can connect multiple data sources, we are able to make data-driven decisions more easily, and we have improved our marketing and sales strategies."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
 

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
"Sisense has no native support for week as a data dimension, which is a major issue for us."
"Users with viewer access have less capabilities than similar users in Tableau."
"Sisense doesn't have connections with statistical packages like R, SAS, etc."
"Although its plugin support mitigates this, Sisense could use additional out-of-the-box visualizations."
"There are some functionalities missing regarding built-in capabilities, which can only be added by using JavaScript, requiring technical knowledge from the dashboard designer to implement."
"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."
"For very complicated blended data from multiple sources we would like Sisense to add a "nerd mode" where we can geek out without the visual connecting of tables and data elements."
"Sisense is not able to handle three-dimensional data."
