I find Sisense's ability to easily create dashboards and widgets to be a huge benefit. This feature allows me to slice and filter widgets to dive deeper into areas of interest for leadership. I particularly appreciate the drill down capabilities, as they are incredibly helpful in exploring data layers. The customization options, especially through dashboard and widget scripts, have made a significant impact on how our data is presented and highlighted. For instance, using widget scripts to tailor the look and feel of widgets ensures they meet specific visual requirements. Additionally, I created a dashboard script that effectively displays the date filter in the widget title for our embedded dashboards, which conveniently allows users to see the date range at a glance without having to scroll back. Overall, these features significantly enhance our ability to gain deeper insights from our data and have been vital in making our data visualization more effective and user-friendly.

I find the query builder in Sisense lacking in some areas, such as the ability to run multiple queries simultaneously. This limitation forces me to toggle between browser windows when I need to compare queries, which is inconvenient. It would be much more efficient if I could view comparison queries in the same window, similar to how SQL Server operates. Additionally, the error messages in the query builder can be too vague, especially when dealing with nested queries, making troubleshooting more difficult than it needs to be. These issues hinder my workflow and create unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning Curve: While Sisense is designed to be user-friendly, new users, especially those without a strong background in data analytics or BI tools, may find the initial setup and certain advanced features somewhat complex.

I appreciate the capabilities of Sisense in providing valuable business analytics dashboards to our users for over three years. It effectively assists in gathering and displaying a significant amount of information from our platform in a meaningful way, helping us to visualize trends in data. The inclusion of an API integration is highly useful for automating the creation of data models and dashboards, which has been exceptionally beneficial. Additionally, the customizable branding options align well with my company’s needs, enhancing the overall experience. The dashboards themselves are instrumental in presenting information clearly to users. These factors contribute significantly to my satisfaction with the product, making it a key tool in our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
