# Connect with Sisense

You can connect Sisense to SingleStore.

Sisense supports two types of data models: **ElastiCube Model** and **Live Model**.

* When you use the **ElastiCube Model**, you import data from data sources, and then merge, manipulate, and query the data. If the data in the data sources changes, you will need to refresh the data sources to see the changes.
* When you use the **Live Model**, you work directly with data sources. You do not need to refresh the data sources if the data changes.

## Prerequisites

Download and install Sisense. Refer to [Sisense Documentation](https://documentation.sisense.com/) for more information.
