Our take
Sisense is one of the fastest-growing business intelligence firms based on an AI-driven model. The company has established offices in cities including San Francisco, Tel Aviv, London, and Tokyo during its nearly 20-year history.
Business intelligence is a huge market globally, meaning that there is considerable competition in Sisense’s niche, including such platforms as Tableau, Looker, and Qlik. However, Sisense has been widely recognized in the industry, winning various awards that showcase how well-regarded the company is.
The company has undergone several funding rounds and cited intentions to continue adding to its offering in the future. Past updates have included the launch of Sisense Notebooks, a code-first functionality that empowers data analysts tools to conduct advanced analysis using SQL and Python, and most recently an integration with ChatGPT that enables customers to automate time-consuming data preparation tasks.
