Sigma is a great alternative to Tableau with a more Excel-like interface.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the tool is browser-based, meaning I don't have to install any program on my local machine or worry about software updates. I just go to the app, and I'm ready to start analyzing my data.
It's also a very intuitive, user-friendly tool that you can start using pretty immediately. There isn't a steep learning curve.
The customer support team is also amazingly friendly—they're always willing to help. And, the product team is constantly working on developing new features and is very open to suggestions.
I like how easy it is to set up email alerts with embedded dashboards—and, you can trigger the alerts based on values in the dashboards, which essentially means that you could use Sigma for any kind of data monitoring you need to do.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since the product is still relatively new, there are times when the UI doesn't work quite like I would expect, or there will be small bugs like column names not showing up fully or a window not sliding properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I need to create a dashboard or set up a data alert, I turn to Sigma first because it's more of a complete, integrated, easy solution that using Tableau or Python to do the same thing. My team has created multiple Sigma dashboards that are used for various data quality purposes, and I have helped others use Sigma to do basic data modeling and monitoring.

Organizational Data Reporting Done Right

Once you finish putting together a worksheet, you can publish and share it with your team or other departments as shared resources for data analysis. It's a huge time saver!

It can be a challenge to get new users spun up on the platform promptly if they are not familiar with using the Sigma tool. The additional learning resources in the help center make this more manageable.

It's a huge time saver where a worksheet can be created once and shared across different teams to provide quick resoruces for data analysis and presentation for account managers. These data slices can show positive and negative trends over time in easily digestible snippets that facilitate smoother account strategy conversations.
Easy to use and build, Some time consuming aspects but updates keep rolling out
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use - as long as you have a team to organize the underlying tables, the tool is then very easy for users that may not have advanced SQL knowledge to then go in and build custom reporting and perform data analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scalability - when leveraging Sigma for customer reporting, there was not a way to dynamically schedule reports. What I mean by this is that we would send the same report to multiple customers but would drop in a unique ID so that the report would filter for only their data. This required us to create copies of the report and then schedule when it would be ideal to be able to apply the filter when scheduling the report.
