10,000 users at over thousands of companies use Sisense to manage and visualize data. Their tool is not geared towards HR analytics, but has the flexibility to take in data from your HRIS, ATS, performance management system, etc and display that data in ways that are intuitive and useful for business users.

Darwinbox's People Analytics solution helps you aggregate people data from other modules within the platform (performance, engagement, and workflow management), and business data obtained from the finance, sales, and recruitment department to provide outcome-focused insights for the entire organization.

People analytics teams often have the problem of not being able to structure data from their multiple HR (and non-HR) systems and visualize it within the same tool. In fact, One Model’s research suggests that 92% of organizations struggle understanding their data. So, this is one of the things that they set out to solve. Their platform takes data directly from your HR systems (ATS, HCM, surveys, etc) via APIs and integrates it into ready-made dashboards, queries, and more.  

One Model also allows for full customization of the dashboards, reports, and ML/AI-based predictive analytics. The data can be ‘destined’ out to other systems (S3, SFTP), and can also be  viewed via PowerBI or Tableau. They can also enable you to use machine learning to construct models that predict attrition, headcount growth, time to fill on open reqs, quality of hire, etc.

Lattice is first and foremost a next generation performance management tool that enables individual employees to see how their efforts are impacting the organization as a whole.
