Sisense Reviews & Product Details

The ability to easily store and manage data in the Elasticube is one of Sisense's strongest features. The available integrations make data ingestion straightforward, and the Compose SDK provides a flexible and modern way to embed analytics into products. The support team has also been consistently responsive and helpful, making it easier to resolve issues and accelerate development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI experience could be improved, particularly when dashboards are embedded into products using iFrames, where performance can sometimes be less than optimal. While the AI capabilities show promise, the platform would benefit from broader support for AI models and deeper integrations with additional model providers to offer more flexibility and choice. Pricing should be kept optimal especially for self hosting customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Sisense for displaying complex data analysis on our platform. I like the drag-and-drop feature for creating dashboards, which can range from very simple to very complex, allowing me to focus on the data rather than coding. The customizability is a major plus for me, especially being able to use SQL to model the data and tailor the dashboard UI. Sisense supports various widget types, making it easy to theme dashboards and display data intuitively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this point, we are a cloud customer and the timing we need to observe of the ETL leaves our data out of date almost as fast as we can get it in there due to the size of our clusters, we can only build so much at a time without overwhelming the system or incurring much more cost.

I really appreciate that Sisense displays all the information I need in one place and I can smoothly use it within my platform. It's great that I can connect directly to different data sources and transform the data, so I can easily compare information from various sources. I also like that I can ask questions directly to my data for deeper analysis. Building dashboards with no code is a big plus, and I love that more technical users can customize views with scripts and more detailed coding, especially using the Compose SDK. The Compose SDK is super valuable for self-service BI as it allows me to customize everything and render views and widgets directly on my front end. Connecting with our data warehouse and other data sources was easy, and creating dashboards was super easy post data modeling in the elastic cubes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love to be able to connect LLMs other than OpenAI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the flexibility Sisense provides by allowing me to incorporate JavaScript at both the dashboard and widget level. This feature gives me more control over how widgets interact with other elements on the dashboard. I also found the initial setup to be pretty easy. The user interface and pricing were factors that influenced our switch to Sisense from Looker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's no widget level control for sending reports - it sends data for all the widgets on a dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The visualisations are clear and easy to generate, dashboards can be shared with users, or automated out as emails. Performance is good, with data builds compiling quickly. We were able to integrate successfully with our system on items such as SAP inputs, and active directory SSO for logins. Support always respond in a short time, and our technical consultant always has methods to achieve our business goals. Subscription costs seem way cheaper than rivals such as Tableau.

Elasticubes can get very complex, and visually our logic is difficult to see. Other ETLs I have used work more like a flow, where descriptions/labels can be added at each part of the process. Line numbers added to SQL queries would be good, making error analysis easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sisense provides advanced reporting solutions for our clients and helps fill gaps in what’s available through our standard in-product reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a known delay in data refresh between our platform and Sisense. While it isn’t terrible, it can still create issues when building reports, reviewing or adjusting platform data, and then validating the final dashboard or widget results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Sisense keeps testing the boundaries. It's a dev space for developers, almost like a sandbox, giving a lot of control unlike other BI tools. I specifically like all its integration features and I'm a big fan of the Compose SDK, which allows breaking out of standard designs for dashboards and widgets, giving full control of the look and feel of a brand. Sisense enables clients to combine and mesh different data easily with ElastiCubes and offers multiple types of embedding features, making the integration seamless and creating a modern look for end users. Since it's in the cloud, the initial setup was very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I definitely think dashboard sharing or code dashboard ownership gets a little wonky, a little weird. I also find that the integration and the Python integration can be a little difficult if you're just starting to use it. The documentation on the website itself could also be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Sisense is a very good tool and really user-friendly. It's simple and easy to use, which makes the clients happy. Designing logical data models and dashboards is easy with Sisense, and it allows us to implement whatever the client asks. It's really helpful in improving user feedback and meeting client requirements. The Sisense support team was also very helpful in setting everything up smoothly. The tool also helps us to look into the data in a more clear way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Sisense is a bit slow and some functionalities, like some widgets, get blocked. For example, the scatter map doesn't always work as needed, and the date filter can be problematic. Also, we want more functionalities similar to other BI tools to get more insights from the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI/UX is straightforward and easy to use, both for building dashboards and for creating or modifying Elastic Cubes. Integrations have worked seamlessly for our organisation. Support is readily available, and there’s also a solid amount of documentation online when we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance is the only real gripe I have with Sisense. Cube builds don’t perform well when they’re handling heavy data loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Sisense is easy to be used by non-technical users. The dashboard design is really user-friendly and intuitive. I also like the AI features they're introducing. I like the scalability in Kubernetes deployment. The initial setup of Sisense was really simple. The documentation was really rich and accurate, and the startup time was really short.

I don't like that the Windows version is no longer evolving. We have customers that are not able to switch to Linux and Kubernetes, so they have limited features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
