Sisense also unveiled an industry-first In-Warehouse Data Preparation module for self-service in multi-cloud environments. The Sisense platform now includes advanced forecasting features that use machine learning to predict future outcomes from seasonal and nonlinear historical data.

Due to unique technology and an emphasis on end-user experience, Sisense is most appropriate for organizations that want to analyze large amounts of data from multiple sources.
