Mode Analytics vs. Sisense for Cloud Data Teams

After launching a new contact pathway in a help experience, Mode Analytics can help provide insight into the sentiments from users as well as the engagement with any written content. Numeric outputs are easier to manage, whereas more nuanced/emotional feedback is sometimes hard to quantify (though not impossible if you get creative).

Sisense for Cloud Data Teams is suited so well for our project that works with lots of data and needs some ways to share data internally or externally with our clients. It's very easy to pull out the data from the sense in best and in a suitable format and moreover a huge number of options are available there to represent the data. All features of this Sisense for cloud data teams software can be taken advantage of if you have a team who are well versed in data analytics, data management, and programming.

• Easy to use (click a button and get right to SQL).
• Security First (everything is locked down by default).
• The White Label feature is super easy to skin -- our embedded reports look just like our app!

Incentivized

• Rapid deployment of polished T-SQL-based data visualization charts and dashboards. Periscope supports a variety of database technologies, and allows users to write custom queries to display data.
• Included caching to reduce server load.
• Outstanding customer service/support, with expert advice as needed.
• Constant updates and new features.
• Built-in SQL formatters take the pain out of manipulating date/time objects.

• Date ranges aren't always the most intuitive to set, strangely
• Faster refresh rates would be ideal
• Would love more dynamic mobile device integration (alerts, etc)

Incentivized

• Some of the dashboards can be slow to load; especially when they have lots of features and widgets.
• The software could be made a little easier for people that don't have a data or programming background.
• It is pricey so not a great option for small companies or research/home projects.

For the advanced user already familiar with Python. It is just the same tool, already managed and connected to the data.

If you know SQL or are somewhat data-savvy, you'll feel right at home with Sisense for Cloud Data Teams. However, like most other BI tools, it is a little challenging to use for users that are non-technical. The graphs and charts are very visually appealing, and there's lots of customization and export options.

Mode has dedicated agents who are online in a chatroom, ready to take on any questions and provide helpful feedback.

The user interface is just amazing and it's really very easy to use and navigate, even for a newbie. Mostly it provides us the accurate data.

• Tableau is a huge pain to edit or create dashboards, by comparison. It can make better looking visualizations, but in practice, letting users drill down and change dimensions slows the end user experience so much that it's often not worth it.
• Looker is amazing for data modeling, but you have to get your whole business all in on it to take advantage. Viz capabilities are similar.
• Databricks has a lot of functionality overlap, but the visualizations are terrible. Databricks' great strength is that you can use notebooks to do anything with code.

Periscope is far more robust than these two similar products. For a start up just getting going they are fine alternatives, but as your business scales Google Charts becomes a hassle to manage and Keap becomes too much of a generalized product. While your business increases it is generally best to get multiple specialized pieces of technology to help you maintain integrity in your data, and Periscope Data allows. Worth the money.

• It has allowed us to monitor ongoing financial transactions written to our SQL data tables in real-time and that helps us to monitor user transaction activities in real-time

• Mode's collaborative abilities have been very helpful in sharing transaction monitoring workload across our compliance and cybersecurity team

• Very positive - has allowed us to glean insights quickly and in real time.
