"Scalability is the best thing. You can really scale."
"The interactive features that appear in the report were good. The external rendering option they give with multi servers was also good."
"Tech support has been great, very responsive. We usually hear back within a day. We usually email them and that works out perfect. The right person always gets back to us."
"Comprehensive security control and more."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"With all the APIs it's very scalable."
"It has had a direct impact on bottomline improvements."
"It has landing pages, and that makes life easy for exhibiting things."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"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."
"The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards."
"This solution is missing enhanced features in the dashboards."
"It needs better visualizations."
"I want to be able to have one report that's delivered to 30 different people and all 30 different people see something different. Now, you can do that today with metrics. You cannot do that with attributes. There's a component of that which, if an attribute is on granularity-one and another is on granularity-two, and you remove granularity-one, you're now going to be summing to a level that you did not expect before."
"The analytic speed would probably be what I would look for in terms of improvement because we have super huge data, and if I do not build views on top of data, then reports render really slowly."
"They need to supply the support system that's just not there right now. They don't have Enterprise Manager classes. You need in-depth classes to understand what those metrics are doing, to understand the table associations from one to the other. You can't just go and pick it up and understand that DT_DAY connects to all of these tables, without going into Architect, looking at the source tables. I, as a analyst, a slightly technical user, I don't have the expertise to do that. Business users definitely don't have the expertise to do that."
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"I would like to see a feature where migrations are easier. When you migrate from certain environments, it could probably be a little cleaner. Sometimes it seems to be somewhat clunky when you migrate from one environment, say a development to a test or production environment."
"Its price should be lower. In terms of features, what we have is quite encompassing right now."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"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 administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
