Overview
PySense is the fastest, easiest way to manage and automate your Sisense deployment.
PySense is more than just an API wrapper. PySense handles all the complexities of the Sisense API for you so you can spend more time creating value for your customers.
I've taken my years of experience both with implementing BI solutions myself and as a consultant managing implementations for large corporations to streamline what matters most.
With PySense you can manage your BI implementation like a pro with barely any technical skills.
