Considered Both Products

Chose Jet Reports
Jet Report works really well for the data stored in clouds. It also integrated with a few digital channels which makes grabbing the live data easier. One of the best tools to schedule report and it has done wonders for a small advertising agency which do not have a bandwidth to …
Chose Jet Reports
[Jet Reports is] So much better. Jet Reports works with Excel so you can use a base knowledge of something everyone is familiar with to create any kind of report possible - not only single reports but cross referencing other report and data tables.
Chose Jet Reports
Jet Reports is light weight and has a minimal barrier to entry for new users. Tableau has a higher learning curve and is more cost prohibitive.

RStudio requires custom code from programmers and the decision was made to move to software instead of software developers. Microsoft Power BI didn't have the right data subscription capabilities for our customers.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Google Analytics works well but it does not have all of the bells and whistles that Periscope Data offers. Google Analytics is best used in a Google environment but if you are using other tools and programs outside of the Google universe, then Periscope Data is a much better …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope is far more robust than these two similar products. For a start up just getting going they are fine alternatives, but as your business scales Google Charts becomes a hassle to manage and Keap becomes too much of a generalized product. While your business increases it …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope is by far the best we looked at - I was evaluating as a user, not the primary decision maker, and user interface and ease of use was the primary factor in my decision. It is very easy to navigate and manipulate, and has an overall very polished view.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope's lightweight footprint and customizable SQL-based reports make it a better choice for us than Tableau or Microsoft BI. We deal with millions of rows of transactional data in a SQL Server data warehouse, so having seamless front-end integration makes reporting seamless.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
We use Jira here at SDC, as well as Periscope. These programs are use together and they work in tandem to get the issues resolved.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Sharing of visualisations and rapid prototypen/building, ease of use. UX is 20x better.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
LookML was able to simplify development of views involving window calculations, but slowed down the overall development cycle as minor SQL edits required heavy code reviews.

Tableau has great interactive options but has proved non-performant with our database mix (MySQL, …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
This is currently our primary visualization tool. There is no real option to do any meaningful math on your data, and you only have access to a very, very limited subset of information you stream into the cache. Periscope far exceeds this tool with the ability to combine data …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Different in the sense that you need to be able to manipulate data with Periscope while you just need to understand how data is manipulated with Amplitude (Periscope = you need to master SQL vs Amplitude = you need to understand the logic of SQL). Periscope is a more powerful …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope Data enables data wrangling and is more familiar to SQL-savvy people - which are mostly analysts. Writing query is not really tedious for them, so it is not a huge problem. Quick and nice response from Periscope support is really helpful for the users.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
I have not utilized any other tools like Periscope so it's hard to say how it stacks up against its competition.

Jet Reports is well suited whrn you have all the data handy in excel files. But it gets a little tricky if you want to get the live data from social media or any other channels. I wish it had a better integration abilities with other websites or/and channels

  • Some of the dashboards can be slow to load; especially when they have lots of features and widgets.
  • The software could be made a little easier for people that don't have a data or programming background.
  • It is pricey so not a great option for small companies or research/home projects.

Usability
Because it is not the costliest tool in this category but it serves the purpose. It is easy to use, cost effective, and works really well with the data stored on cloud. It has wide range of dashboard templates which go really well with different types of data sets. I would love to use it agains and again

My company has had Periscope for various use cases in the past and I think that this program opens up complex data reports to non-technical people in a really accessible way (even though the learning curve is a big one). We are now integrating Sisense for Cloud Data Teams at a larger level both for internal data exploration and for customer facing dashboards and reports.

I hinestly have not used the support a lot but i have always had to way for longer durations to get a response on my emails. I have tried calling them a few times and the wait time was a little more than what i expected. They were able to answer my queries nonetheless

Periscope is far more robust than these two similar products. For a start up just getting going they are fine alternatives, but as your business scales Google Charts becomes a hassle to manage and Keap becomes too much of a generalized product. While your business increases it is generally best to get multiple specialized pieces of technology to help you maintain integrity in your data, and Periscope Data allows. Worth the money.
