Sisense Ltd
  • Include more appropriate updates in their monthly newsletter as opposed to the general overview that doesn't always have the most pertinent information at the forefront.
  • There are bugs at times when certain dashboards are down, though not in an overwhelming way.
  • If you do not tag something it shows up in multiple views and may be accessible to people that it should not be, though that is a user error it may make sense to prompt for a tag and security setting.

My company has had Periscope for various use cases in the past and I think that this program opens up complex data reports to non-technical people in a really accessible way (even though the learning curve is a big one). We are now integrating Sisense for Cloud Data Teams at a larger level both for internal data exploration and for customer facing dashboards and reports.

Support is world-class through email and ticketing. I only switch to email support when I can’t access help via the help center.

Alternatives Considered
Databricks
We wanted an easy and quick way to deliver and generate reports and wanted to have a good querying engine. We found Redash better and easier to operate with more features with the same cost point. One more thing is rendering and exporting PDFs from Redash was better than the competition with the same price point.

Google Analytics works well but it does not have all of the bells and whistles that Periscope Data offers. Google Analytics is best used in a Google environment but if you are using other tools and programs outside of the Google universe, then Periscope Data is a much better option.

Return on Investment
Databricks
  • So as far as investment its just the time you need to give and done.
  • You can host Redash on your server and just pay as you go.
  • There isn't much investment but a lot of things will be solved around reporting and charting.
