We performed a comparison between Dremio and Sisense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"Visually displaying data."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
