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.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity

TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, we'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."

"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."

"Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."

"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."

"This solution is easy to learn how to use."

"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."

"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."

"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."

More Sisense pros

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."

"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."

"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."

"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."

"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 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."

"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."

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."

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

More Sisense cons

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

"Compared to Power BI or Tableau, Sisense is much more expensive."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
