help Sisense FAQ
What is Sisense's In-Chip technology?
In-Chip is Sisense's patented query engine that pushes computation into CPU and RAM rather than relying primarily on disk I/O. The pitch is that dashboards stay fast even on large, complex datasets without massive server hardware, which is part of why Sisense emphasizes performance on big data.
Can I embed Sisense dashboards inside my own SaaS product?
Yes—embedded analytics is Sisense's core positioning, now marketed under the Sisense Fusion Embed umbrella. Developers can embed dashboards and individual widgets via iFrame, JavaScript SDK, or REST API, making it popular with product teams building customer-facing analytics.
How is Sisense different from Tableau or Power BI?
Sisense leans into OEM/white-label embedding and developer tooling, whereas Power BI is tightly integrated into the Microsoft 365 stack and Tableau (owned by Salesforce) focuses on analyst-driven self-service visualization. Sisense also typically sells through custom annual contracts rather than public per-seat pricing.
Did Sisense acquire Periscope Data?
Yes. Sisense acquired San Francisco-based analytics startup Periscope Data in 2019, which brought SQL-first workflows and Python/R notebook support into the platform. Sisense itself was founded in 2004 in Tel Aviv, Israel, and later headquartered in New York.
