Sisense

Sisense provides an embedded analytics platform that lets software providers and enterprises deliver data analysis and AI-driven insights inside their own applications and under their own brand. The platform is positioned as a governed distribution layer for product AI: it grounds AI outputs in a customer's approved metrics, semantic definitions, and access rules before surfacing them in end-user products and workflows. Governance features include governed semantics and shared formulas so that people and AI work from the same definitions, tenant-safe access with row-level security enforced at the query layer for multi-tenant deployments, and semantic enrichment and publishing so AI systems interpret underlying data correctly.

Embedding options range from lightweight widgets to fully custom builds, using the Compose SDK and APIs, with support for multiple front-end frameworks, generated embed code, and custom plugins. Sisense also supports connecting its data layer to external AI tools and workflows via MCP or APIs. End-user analytics capabilities include natural-language question asking through an assistant, search, narrative summaries of results, explanation of the drivers behind changes, and forward-looking features such as pulse, forecast, and trend.

Business model

Sisense licenses its analytics platform to organizations that embed it in their own software products, offering APIs, SDKs, and multiple embed paths alongside a multi-tenant architecture.
