SiSENSE as web service platform.
I was using SiSense PRISM as platform supporting our own www service. Our service provided a complex info about public contracts around Poland and we used PRISM as BI platform to generate Dashboards. Those Dashboards were used by our costumers to analyze situation on public contracts market and support them in decision to start with a given contract. Overall I see PRISM as a great tool, which requires not so much IT knowledge to operate and is not time consuming in terms of deployment and report or dashboard preparation. It is also very low on Hardware resources consumption.
- Great at mashing up data from multiple different data sources.
- Easy deployment, ETL process, Dashboard or Report preparation and distribution to end users.
- Very low hardware usage so you probably wont need to invest huge money on new servers.
- JS Extensions engine which allows to create really powerful tailored features.
- Plug-ins in ETL tool are powerful, but configuration could be a little easier. Also JS extension in PRISM Web is powerful but could be a little more clear how to use.
- Need to catch up with several common features for BI platform.
- QlikView,InForum,JetReports
Less resource consuming and faster deployment. Also very extensive embeding capabilities, that make it a perfect tool for OEM customers.

- We're able to finish our web service which we could not with our previous BI vendor.
- We could use our own product in a matter of 2-3 months after deployment which was quick.

They are creating Dashboards and support our customers.

One need basic knowledge on BI as general, some SQL knowledge, an analytical mind, ability to know how use script languages (it is not required but it is useful to have a general knowledge how scripting works; it helps a lot at some point). One also should have a basic taste for composing a color palette and Dashboard layout planning.
- As of today None.
- Final Dashboards used as IFrame on our web service.
- Ability to mash-up multiple different data sources
- Speed - even with lot of text to analyze.
- Mainly as a platform integrated with our web service that allows an innovative approach to analyzing public contracts market.
Yes
We replaced InForum BI solution for following reasons:
- Support for WWW was weak
- Slow
- Mashing up different data sources was near impossible
- Support for WWW was weak
- Slow
- Mashing up different data sources was near impossible
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Product Features - mash up from different data sources and support for WWW were most important factors.
I would definitely be more thorough in terms of evaluating a specific features required for our own product.
- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
Always use a separate environment to test new release. Always make a back up of each ElastiCube before each upgrade.
- Some issues with IIS, when implementing earlier versions of PRISM Web.
- Online training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
It is quite easy to learn on your own, but before doing so you need to identify your needs and if some of those needs are not met easily, conntact suport to learn more about it.
Do not use IIS Express if you're going to use mobile platform since it has some issues. Other then that installation and configuration is easy and standard settings for most cases.
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface
We needed to embed the solution as well as align coloring scheme to web page it was embedded in. All in all it was not that challening, although documentation for that requires some upgrades still.
Yes - we have added extensive custom code
Based on already available solutions it was quite easy. Tweaking and modification of already existing pieces of code is a little bit challenging but not that complicated. Creating your own plugins is difficult mainly due to high technical requirements and small amount of hints how to begin.
Yes
Yes, it was solved in timely fashion (usually in next release but sometimes I've receive a special hotfix for certain issues) and to my full satisfaction.
Since solution is only in English, fact that they allowed us to translate some parts of Web Interface to Polish was something exceptional.
- ETL
- Dashboard preparation
- Dashboard distribution
- Plugins in EC Manager.
- JS Plugins could be problematic
- Internal web application
Embeding dashboards in web application + merging user rights from SiSense with web application current users. There were some hurdles mostly due to the holes in documentation for such cases.
- File import/export
- Single Signon
- API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
- Javascript widgets
- ETL tools
Mostly pricing and number of users, but also some additional features outside regular license.
Be prepared in term of your needs to avoid disappointment.
Yes
Update is quick. It is recommended to back up before doing upgrade mostly due to behind the scenes changes that may affect system, mainly if SiSense is used as OEM embeded in another system. Unexpected impacts are very rare and usually quickly fixed with help of support team.
- Hierarchies
- New filtering system
- Memory consumption enhancments
- Improved iPad experience
- Improved role configuration
- Better documentation for extending SiSense.
Yes
Change is quick and painless and was done after finishing PoC and going for regular license.

- JavaScript add-ons for bucket analysis and Gantt charts are limited and not supported.

- Cannot rebuild cubes without making cube inaccessible during rebuild period.
Performance and ease of use.

It was a combination of factors: performance on large datasets, usability and a reasonable price.
Our evaluation and selection process was successful and we are happy with the result, so no need to change it.
- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
Sisense was easy to install and because Sisense is easy to use the roll out in our organisation was a breeze.
- Some add ons could not be migrated at first
Yes
We pay for premium support if available, because we need support for our non-standard questions about the product or to investigate difficult technical issues.
When we migrated to a new server, we received several hours of support that could be considered as professional services. However this was done without additional costs.
- Creating visualisations
- Deploying a new cube means the users cannot use the dashboards for that cube. So deploying needs to be scheduled during night time.
- Time format requires JavaScript.
