At 5000fish, our Customer Success team takes great pride in being thoroughly educated about our product. We feel that’s the only way we can help you determine if Yurbi is the right business intelligence solution for your needs. But that’s just the start. If you’ve read some of our Straight Talk reviews, you know that being able to speak knowledgeably about the pros and cons of other business intelligence (BI) products is also an important component of our Customer Success approach to business.
That’s one reason why we’ve put together this quick, easy read about the strengths and weaknesses of one of the up and coming business intelligence software solutions on the market today: Sisense. Sisense is a business analytics software tool that jumped onto the BI scene in 2010 with $4 million in Series A funding. Sisense recently received a Series E round of funding in September 2018, for a total investment raise of $174 million. Sisense has been growing rapidly, positioning itself as a major player in the BI space but is burning through a lot of cash to need to continually raise so much money. Sisense has been named to the Visionary quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for BI and Analytics Platforms for the past 2 years.
Sisense is a powerful BI tool that has garnered the praises of Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. Here’s why:
Though Sisense is highly praised and is a fairly decent BI tool, there are a few features we’re not too crazy about. Here are the things we’ve noticed during interactions with customers evaluating Sisense:
If your company wants to do big data analyses from multiple sources in the 50 million rows or higher range, Sisense may be the right software for you. However, be prepared to either allocate internal technical resources or hire technical resources to spend time setting up Sisense’s Elasticube™. If offline access, report scheduling, or having a solution that doesn’t require additional technical expertise for the company during installation is important to your company, Sisense may not be the best for you.
We hope our review of Sisense was helpful. If you’d like to learn about the pros and cons of other popular BI solutions, we encourage you to explore more straight talk reviews. Have you used Sisense? If so, we’d enjoy hearing your thoughts about Sisense’s pros and cons.
