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.

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.

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.

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.

Support Rating

I have not used their support

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.

Sisense is working well so far
