ABSTRACT
Sisense is a full-stack BI platform that includes every component required to build, embed, and run multi-terabyte analytics solutions on-premises or in the cloud. Designed with application program interface (API) access as a top priority, Sisense offers developers the ability to invoke integration, discovery, and dashboard functions through JavaScript and REST methods. Customers can achieve a custom analytics experience that suits the needs of different user personas and blend it seamlessly into existing software applications.
Headquartered in New York City, Sisense offers an embedded analytics product with an API-first design that serves modern Web developers, who prefer APIs for implementing customized functionality and navigation experiences.
Marketed as a “single-stack” product, Sisense’s complete BI platform provides pre-defined dashboards and technologies to embed self-service tools for querying big, complex data sources. Sisense consumes disparate data from spreadsheets, Hadoop, and relational databases and loads it into multidimensional ElastiCube data stores without preaggregation or precalculation. Query performance is enhanced by Sisense’s proprietary In-Chip technology, which uses CPU-based memory banks to store data and further scale performance. The company states that ad hoc queries respond in seconds even when working with billions of rows of rapidly changing data.
