Tableau vs Sisense Comparison

One of the best parts of this software is that Users can access a URL and view all of the Dashboards and data analytics needed. When it comes to visualizing metrics with filters on data at the highest or most granular level you can't beat Tableau.

If you have Users that need to access or download raw data Tableau isn't very intuitive. You can acheive this, but it's difficult for developers and users. It would be nice if dashboards also had no limit on height (you can't add multiple visuals in Tableau, only what worksheets fit on the Dashboard . In SiSense, you can add as many as you like which is very common for users I've interacted with.

The tool looks great when it comes to feature and making charts using complex queries. Moreover, the integration with Python is another good thing.

The visualizations, in comparison to Tableau and Qlikview, are not that great. The simple drag and drop feature in Tableau makes it the preferred BI tool for a lot of users. Plus, the tool is really expensive one for startups and small organizations which require less number of licenses.

Data source management is simple and easy to use yet allows for customization. Dashboards are fast, easy to navigate and very aesthetically pleasing.

Not yet web-based multi-user eCube management (coming soon), not quite as rich of a dashboard visualization capability and fine-control as Tableau (but improving),

Ease of use, great features, and always evolving. Great ability to analyze and visualize complex data sets. Small learning curve.

I don't think it is as cost effective as other users make it out to be. Additionally I think this space is too crowded and Tableau / Power BI often beat them to the punch with certain features.

The dashboard creation wizard is pretty robust and fairly easy to use. You will need an SME within the organization - this isn't a tool that I would simply throw at someone and expect them to learn in a few weeks, but that's largely due to the wide range of capabilities the tool has. However, the wizard is much more intuitive compared to a tool like Tableau. The UI of the dashboards is beautiful and offers a nice range of customization features. It's a much prettier dashboard than Tableau. Finally, the ability to write custom Javascript for formatting preferences has proven to be a very nice feature.

The cube processing itself is quite limited - this is not a big data tool. Cube builds on our dataset take almost two hours. Part of this has to do with our Elasticube design being suboptimal, but I would argue that just provides evidence that you need a very technical SME within your organization who has experience designing OLAP models. My major objection is pricing - they charge on multiple vectors; by cube and also by a user. It's complex and the costs ramp up very quickly. I wish they'd pick one vector to price on, as it would make both budgeting and affordability much better.

Able to get a demo up very quickly - basically a full functioning demo product. Sisense is used in our organisation to perform the following tasks: - Bring together data from multiple data sources (mysql databases, google spreadsheets, google analytics, web analytics tools) - Dashboarding - various sales/metric dashboards are displayed around the office on large plasma screens. Individual users...

Drag and drop dashboards also mean there is less customization of dashboards. Not as flexible as Tableau. If you get your data model wrong the product can hang - you need to self-verify your work. Which you should. Not sure how it performs with truly big data sets.

Quick to deploy, easy to use, and you can manage both the front end and the back end from a web portal. No more vpn into a server somewhere! We throw millions of rows of data at Sisense and it still keeps working like a champ! Having tried Domo, Tableau and others in the past Sisense was the first real full stack solution that got us out of our data issues and into a centralized source of truth with reporting. We have effectively saved 100's of thousands of dollars each year in automation and efficiencies alone!

Would love to see more widgets and customization options in the future. Some of the administrative features could be more robust as well.

- Incredibly flexible - Elasticube allows data manipulation at the table level and creation of custom fields - Low overhead - Accessible on any device - without the need for apps - Incredible support - Transparent pricing structure
