Sisense is a cloud-based analytics platform that enables organizations to integrate analytical capabilities directly into their applications and workflows. The platform emphasizes embedding analytics where users already work rather than requiring separate BI tools.

Core Capabilities

Data Integration: "Sisense can connect to data stored across cloud applications, databases, warehouses, and other environments" with over 400 connectors available.

Developer-First Approach: The Compose SDK allows developers to build analytics using TypeScript and frameworks like React and Angular, providing "more control over the user experience than simply embedding a complete dashboard."

AI-Powered Analysis: The platform includes natural-language data exploration and predictive analytics through Sisense Intelligence, designed to work within a governed framework that respects organizational permissions and data boundaries.

Security Features: The platform offers row-level security, column-level security, SSO, multi-tenant architecture, and holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.

Deployment Flexibility

Organizations can choose cloud hosting, dedicated environments, or on-premises deployment across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Ideal Use Cases

Sisense serves finance, sales, marketing, operations, and product teams. It's particularly valuable for software companies wanting to "provide analytics as part of their product rather than requiring customers to purchase or operate a separate BI system."

Pricing is customized based on deployment, security, scale, and organizational requirements rather than published per-user rates.
