Overall Satisfaction with Sisense

Beyond simply presenting and extracting data, we have implemented interactive dashboards which visualize, but more importantly, analyze and correlate data to track performance and inform decision making. Sisense is a product that simplifies analytics for complex data by letting us prepare and analyze both big and disparate datasets. Sisense handles data preparation for analysis as well as dashboard visualization.

We are using it primarily to track and inform the performance of our employees across the entire university fundraising group.

  • It really does a great job handling very large data sets and mashes up various sources into a cohesive form.
  • It is very easy to go from raw data to a dashboard in no time flat.
  • The performance for the cost is great.
  • Visualizations could be more flexible especially in regard to labels.
  • Exporting reports continues to evolve and can use some improvements as it relates to exporting spreadsheets in particular.
  • Mobile accessibility is still in the developing stages.
Price compared to DOMO, Qlik and Tableau, not to mention the simplicity with which it handles large data sets is why we selected it.
I think it is a great choice for an institution that doesn't want a lot of overhead in regard to IT support or cost, who would prefer to do the work themselves. It does a great job of presenting material simply to a wide audience. It doesn't require that the vendor be available to deal with large data sets either.
