Sisense vs IBM SPSS Statistics: Which is a better fit?

Ahuva S.: Hey, my name is Ahuva. I'm a project manager and I give Sisense a four out of five. Click below for more reviews like this. Before using Sisense, we didn't have much of a BI solution. We did try Click. Click did not work out well because they didn't have open source capabilities to code additional features into the product. Sisense's open source was really our selling point. It's also super user-friendly, which we really appreciated. Sisense seemed like they would work with us in the most partner or partnership experience then all the other companies. They were extremely flexible. They had a lot of solutions for a lot of different concerns that we had and really it was customer service. When we first got started, our biggest challenge was to connect the software to our business model. We had a dedicated business analyst project manager, which actually was myself, and once we figured out exactly what we needed, we put together a plan and we implemented it with the help of Sisense support. They were great. Really on target, really on time, really fantastic at helping us launch by filling in little details that we needed to get it up and running. I recommend that you, first of all, really make a really strong list of what your needs are. Very critical. And once you really know what you need out of a BI solution, make sure you're choosing the one that will accommodate your needs. They're all slightly different. They all have different features, a little bit. But I think most importantly, once you decide on a platform to use, invest the time in setting it up because it's worth it. It's a little bit more of a focus that you need to put on just getting things up and running, but once they are up and running, people will love it and it will save you so much time and money and your businesses will just work so much better. The benefits are endless.

Michael A.: I'm Michael. I am a market researcher and a digital transformation specialist. I work at a company size that's over 5,000 people, and I am a five out of five with IBM SPSS. I use IBM on a day-to-weekly basis for a lot of analyses, especially survey analyses, market research data. What I like most about SPSS is ease of use, its user-friendliness. It's a resemblance of Excel in functionality, except you have a lot more power and capabilities with it, and it's this familiar interface and expansiveness of value delivery that makes it a solid choice for users without as much technical specificities to deliver big insights and value. I like pretty much everything about it. It continuously improves and I'm not sure what's on the road map for it in terms of the bigger IBM picture, so I can't really say what I don't like. I'm sure they continuously roll out better things as time goes on.
