Helps businesses save time and offers good integration features

I would say that using Sisense on Linux's platform might not be advantageous for everyone. I am more familiar with Windows than Linux. With Windows, the system performs very fast. Even if your data size consists of like 10,00,00,000 loads or whatever, it works very fast. When using Sisense, it is better to have some people with a very good understanding of Linux. I need more technical people who understand about Linux OS. Only two people would be enough to operate the tool.

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."

"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"

"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."

"I would like to see an improvement in the live data connection, specifically making the process faster."

"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."

"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."
