Sisense

Embeddable analytics platform for putting branded dashboards and AI-driven insights inside a company's own product, historically popular with SaaS vendors.

Visit Sisense Alternatives

Sisense is an analytics platform built primarily to be embedded into other software rather than used as a standalone BI tool for internal analysts. Its Fusion architecture pairs an in-chip analytical engine (built on the older ElastiCube in-memory/in-chip model) with a governed 'distribution layer' of shared formulas, semantic enrichment, and row-level security, so the same metric definitions stay consistent across every tenant an application serves. Teams embed dashboards, widgets, or full analytic experiences into a customer-facing product using the Compose SDK and APIs, rather than pointing end users at a separate Sisense UI. It supports multi-tenant, white-labeled deployment and generative-AI features ('Sisense Intelligence') for natural-language questions and explanations. It is offered as SaaS/cloud or self-hosted, and is used most by software and product teams building analytics into their own applications.

Terms to know

Embedded analytics Charts, reports or dashboards built directly into another application instead of a separate BI tool. Business intelligence (BI) The practice of turning company data into dashboards, reports and metrics that guide business decisions. Semantic layer A layer that defines business metrics and dimensions once, centrally, so every tool and report uses the same numbers. Data visualization Representing data graphically so that patterns, trends and outliers are easier to see than in a table of numbers. Row-level security (RLS) Restricting which rows of a table a user can query, rather than granting or denying access to the whole table.
