Return on Investment

Sometimes dashboard loads slowly.
Amazing visualisation present

Usability

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.

Support Rating

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

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

Data Export Subscription
Data Dashboards

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

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

Microsoft Power BI and RStudio

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

Usability

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.

Usability

Support Rating

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

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

quick and helpful response from support
various visualization options
enables cross-database joins
enables shared dashboards via email
has alert features

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

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

Mode Analytics and Microsoft Power BI

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

Domo, Treasure Data, Google Drive

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

Usability

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.
