Sisense
Analytics & BI · www.sisense.com
Overview
Sisense is an embedded analytics and business intelligence platform that lets product and engineering teams build white-labeled, customizable analytics experiences directly into their own applications. It combines a governed semantic data layer with an AI suite (natural-language query, auto-generated narratives, forecasting) branded "Sisense Intelligence," plus flexible embedding APIs (iframe or Compose SDK). It targets both self-serve teams building analytics-as-a-feature and large enterprises needing multi-tenant, white-label BI at scale.
The problem Sisense solves
Product teams building customer-facing SaaS products often need to expose data and dashboards to their own end users, but building that from scratch or bolting on a generic BI tool rarely looks or feels native. Sisense solves this by providing an embeddable analytics platform with a governed semantic layer, AI-assisted natural-language querying, and multi-tenant white-labeling built in, so engineering teams can ship branded analytics experiences instead of building a BI stack from scratch.
