Centralize, Don’t Scatter
Mode vs. Sisense
Today’s marketplace requires truly modern business intelligence tools that prioritize a user-first choice of analysis including SQL, Python, and R-notebook workflows for everyday analysts in addition to robust visualizations for every team and business user—and all in one place, not embedded in multiple, costly point-solutions or applications.
Business Intelligence beyond embedded analytics
Mode unifies data teams and their stakeholders with a central platform built with collective intelligence. Mode provides a starting point for everyone as analysts are able to begin analysis using a code-first approach while non-technical users can explore existing insights or build their own reports from Datasets vetted and curated by the data team —no tool switching or new model building required.
Sisense is designed to be a point solution that infuses dashboards into tools for business users, like Salesforce. Effectively embeding pre-determined data visualizations into applications typically requires significant effort and coding from end users.
