G2® Grid shows Sisense leads in customer satisfaction over Power BI, Qlik, MicroStrategy, and ThoughtSpot

When you’re building products that integrate analytics, your success hinges on how quickly and intuitively your users can access the insights they need. According to the latest G2 Embedded Business Intelligence Grid®, product and engineering teams are turning to platforms that go beyond basic dashboards. They want tools that don’t require separate reporting interfaces. They demand AI-powered analytics that are invisible, ambient, and customizable.

One platform stands out: Sisense, which earned top scores in customer satisfaction based on real user reviews. That recognition isn’t based on marketing or sales spin. Rather, it’s about how well the platform supports developers, product leaders, and engineers in creating seamless, scalable AI-driven analytics experiences.

What the G2 Grid® says

Located in the top right quadrant, Sisense is ranked highest for customer satisfaction among Embedded BI platforms.

• The G2 Grid® is based entirely on verified user reviews. G2’s rankings are powered by direct feedback from real users, not analyst speculation. Each score reflects how well a platform performs in real-world, day-to-day product environments.
• Sisense is ranked highest for customer satisfaction among Embedded BI platforms. In the June 2025 Grid®, Sisense leads on customer satisfaction, surpassing dozens of vendors on key indicators such as ease of use, implementation, support, and likelihood to recommend.
• According to user reviews as of June 2025, Sisense leads in customer satisfaction across what G2 calls “Embedded BI platforms.” These reviews come from product managers, engineers, analysts, and business leaders who rely on embedded analytics to deliver real-time insights directly into their applications.

Why customers rate Sisense so highly

Build data experiences that look and feel like your product

Sisense gives product and engineering teams the flexibility to design embedded analytics that feel native, thanks to full theming, white-labeling, and deep SDK/API support.

Connect anything, anywhere, without rebuilding

“The fundamental thing is the ease of use. Our customers and ourselves love the way it is straightforward in designing data sets, publishing dashboards. The overall interface is intuitive.”
— Marc S., Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) Computer Software Company

With 400+ connectors and live support, teams can access data where it lives.

“The data connectivity and embedding options are extensive, allowing you to seamlessly embed analytics into your product or platform. Sisense allows the use of JavaScript to drive custom behaviour at a widget or dashboard level, and the Python integration opens up data enrichment capabilities.”
—James K., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) Consulting Company

AI-powered analytics for every creator

From natural language queries to embedded chatbot builders and code generation, Sisense empowers non-technical and technical creators alike.

“In addition to the basic use of Sisense, they have added the AI analysis of data that really allows users to focus on what the data is telling them… We are consistently in Sisense, monitoring dashboards and easy-to-view reports that provide near real-time insight into our operation.”
— Cesar G., Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) Aviation & Aerospace Company

Built for developers, trusted by engineering teams

Sisense is an API-first, developer-friendly platform that integrates into any environment, from mobile to SaaS, with speed and flexibility.

“I have managed the implementation of every major visualization tool into several teams. From Business Objects to Tableau and Power BI. Sisense allows your developers to work faster. It’s easy to use, very easy to learn, and works incredibly well. In tests in my current team, we found Sisense loads and operates between 2x and 3x faster than Power BI (P1). Every click, every slicer change is faster, and it’s really noticeable to the end user. It also looks better and has no licensing problems for selling this as part of a product for external clients. I don’t need to train colleagues up in “universes”, “dax”, or spend inordinate amounts of time getting anything out of Tableau.”
—Calum M., Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) Translation and Localization Company

Real business outcomes

• Faster time to insight: Sisense minimizes the time between data access and decision-making. With live connectivity and built-in data modeling, teams move from raw data to insights in record time.
• More time for engineering innovation: The Sisense platform’s low-lift deployment and customization give engineering teams their time back, freeing them up to work on core product features rather than dashboard maintenance.
• Better end-user engagement: Embedded analytics creates stickier user experiences. By delivering context-relevant data within the product, teams boost user engagement and product usage.
• Higher adoption and retention rates. Customers who can derive insights without toggling tools are more likely to stay. Sisense-powered applications often see improved retention due to richer, more intuitive UX.

“Unlike many other tools, the Sisense platform can process ‘big data’ on the fly, allowing users unparalleled access to their data assets with the ability to interact with the dashboards to create bespoke analytics.”
—Rupert T., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) Marketing and Advertising Company
