Sisense is working well so far

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We were using Power BI but our customers wanted an export of their data and Sisense for Cloud Data Teams offered the subscription and dashboard characteristics that we were looking for.
Pros and Cons
  • Data Export Subscription
  • Data Dashboards
  • There was a large learning curve.
Likelihood to Recommend
We have customers who want scheduled updates of their data. This product allows for those subscriptions and automated exports of their data without custom code involved. In my opinion, you either need to pay for software or software developers and to solve this problem, the company decided to shift into the pay for software solution and so far it has gone well.

  • It is still too early to say but a lot of research was done by our engineering teams and this was the chosen solution and no one seems to regret their decision.
Alternatives Considered
RStudio requires custom code from programmers and the decision was made to move to software instead of software developers. Microsoft Power BI didn't have the right data subscription capabilities for our customers.
Other Software Used
Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Snowflake

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I started using Sisense for Cloud Data Teams at ADCS for data visualization (structured, unstructured, and geospatial). I still use it to date at my current corporation to perform the same projects.
Pros and Cons
  • Collect data across all ETL services.
  • Integrate with extensive range of external applications and APIs.
  • Offers free trial and support is available 24/7/12/365.
  • More documentation for available features would be better to simplify customization.
  • Do not have online community for peers and Sisense users.
Likelihood to Recommend
Sisense for Cloud Data Teams is a perfect match for SMEs and large corporations with less complex data. It has been effective to discover, collect, connect, model, and visualize data across all data sources (on-premise and cloud-based software).

Sisense was our primary visualization tool in the previous project. There is no real option to do any meaningful math on our data, and we only have the access to a very limited subset of the information we stream into the cache. Sisense Allowed for a variety of internal data-driven decisions. Sisense far exceeds this tool with its ability to combine all the data sources across disparate servers and perform detailed analysis upon the query results.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Periscope Data is used by most of the departments within my company. Analysts use Periscope Data to explore production datasets and create initial visualizations easily, which are later consumed by the business users. Besides visualizations, business users often download raw data provided via tables on Periscope Data, which helps as a workaround when our internal tools are still limited.
Pros and Cons
  • quick and helpful response from support
  • various visualization options
  • enables cross-database joins
  • enables shared dashboards via email
  • has alert features
  • no connection to Treasure Data
  • query error feedbacks aren't easily understood, especially on cross database joins
  • still limited filter feature for BigQuery
  • chart drill down is quite difficult to use
Likelihood to Recommend
If your company is still on the early stage yet it produces data with various domains, your analysts will be grateful to have Periscope Data as the main tool. Although they might not be able to combine your data here - except relies on Periscope cache (which is super helpful!), they could explore the data quite easily and produce visualization without additional coding skills. Periscope Data's support team is quite responsive and they don't hesitate to jump in and help to solve your problems.

  • more data informed organization
  • enables collaboration and chart versioning
  • Periscope view is sometimes not reliable since we can't get the exact refresh schedule time
Alternatives Considered
Periscope Data enables data wrangling and is more familiar to SQL-savvy people - which are mostly analysts. Writing query is not really tedious for them, so it is not a huge problem. Quick and nice response from Periscope support is really helpful for the users.
Other Software Used
Easy Tasks
  • cross database join
  • customized visualization
  • alert function
Difficult Tasks
  • maintaining cache
  • ensuring data reliability on scheduled report
  • separate data access per user group

It could be used easily by business users once they understand basic SQL and the dataset; they could perform customized query according to their needs, without having to ask analysts repeatedly to provide them. The support team is quite responsive, and they could also help directly to make your erroneous dashboard run smoothly.
