About Sisense
Sisense is a commercial analytics platform designed so that companies can embed dashboards and data experiences into their own applications. Product teams use it to give customers analytics inside the software they already use, rather than sending them to a separate BI tool.
The vendor stresses flexibility for builders, offering pro-code, low-code and no-code approaches, along with data connectivity, modeling, visualization, AI-driven features called Sisense Intelligence, a marketplace of extensions and developer resources such as documentation, a playground and Git integration. It can be deployed in the cloud or in a customer's own environment, and it targets software vendors and enterprises with analytics-heavy products.
