IT Intern
What do you like best about the product?
I like that sigma allows us to display complex data in a meaningful way that is easy to understand for our clients as well as our coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular comes to mind except the lack of ability to download an entire table as a PDF unless displayed fully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sigma is helping us identify key areas of business to focus on and improving our ability to recognize and combat issues as they arise.
Ease of Use Meets Functionality
What do you like best about the product?
In my time using Sigma Computing, I've been particularly impressed by its cross-platform functionality. This feature has streamlined our internal data delivery processes, making collaboration between teams smooth and efficient. Externally, it's been a game changer for report access. Regardless of the device or operating system, stakeholders can effortlessly view and interact with our data insights. The seamless integration and adaptability mean that our insights are always accessible, consistent, and up-to-date. For someone keen on efficient data visualization and sharing, Sigma Computing is genuinely transformative.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very few times have I run into issues with using the Sigma Computing UI but when I have, these problems have been centered around occasional lags that hinder fluidity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizations! Sigma Computing has revolutionized how I access and visualize data. Before, sifting through massive datasets was daunting, especially for our non-technical team members. Now, Sigma provides a seamless interface where data is not only easily accessible but also effortlessly transformed into intuitive visuals. This has bridged the gap between our technical and non-technical consumers, fostering a cohesive approach to data analysis. The tool empowers everyone in our team to draw meaningful insights, making data-driven decisions a natural part of our workflow. For me, Sigma's solutions have not only streamlined processes but also enriched the quality of our data interpretations.
fantastic and cross functional!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how creative and cross functional the visualization process is! The tool is very easy to use and there are so many benefits to using this tool when creating visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of various types of visualizations makes it rather difficult to increase the granularity of various metrics. There are no waterfall charts or other visuals that Excel has and would incredibly benefit from the rendition of these visuals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me solve issues pertaining to vehicle sales and vehicle margin analysis. With the implementation of this tool, I have been severely benefitted from this tool!
Promising up & coming tool
What do you like best about the product?
-Many user friendly features. No tool has it all or is completely perfect, but Sigma has a lot of great QOL features that make it relatively intuitive and seamless to use.
-Evolving product that seems open to listening to the needs of their customers. I like that they take suggestions for new features and they seem to care about growing the product and continuing to add functionality.
-ABOVE ALL ELSE: Fast and efficient customer support chat. I've barely looked at any Sigma documentation in the couple of months since I've started using the product. Why? Because I just open the chat, throw the question into the void, and often get my question completely resolved in under 2 minutes (the chat folks seem to try to respond in under 15-30 seconds). This has been HUGE in making the transition from my company's current BI tool to Sigma and I feel so much better and at ease about the process because I know the chat agents always have my back. The agents are all really friendly and I genuinely enjoy my interactions with them.

What do you dislike about the product?
-Maybe not a fully mature product yet. It's got a lot of really well thought out features and design aspects, but is sometimes missing random simple things like a row number indicator like you'd see in an Excel or Google Sheet.
-Very Excel/Sheets centric. As an analyst who comes from a background of doing everything in SQL and writing hundreds of lines of SQL a week, I'd say that the product is not necessarily designed entirely for my particular preferences and background; not a true negative point, just a personal preference thing. I can still find plenty of ways to get what I want done, but I do have to adjust my mindset and approach a bit.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are migrating off of our current BI tool and onto Sigma. Both our analysts and our business stakeholders need to be able to address their data needs, whether it is something more technical like writing SQL to perform ad-hoc explorations in our data warehouse, or use a dashboard to look at monthly figures or obtain customer lists. Sigma helps provide these functionalities and is a convenient tool to both the technical and non technical users.
Sigma Elements and Layout
What do you like best about the product?
I love the new layout feature. It's gives a lot of flexibility in terms of sizing elements and adjusting spacing between elements.
I also love the new KPI feature
I also love the new KPI feature
What do you dislike about the product?
Spacing constrictions:
I wish I could set the margin for my workbooks instead of small, large & full
As much as I love the grid, I would love to adjust the grid size myself
Font flexibility:
Inside elements I can adjust the font size at a pixel level but for text elements I have very limited options.
Is there a way to set heading,para sizes as part of the theme?
Adding formula to text within elements:
When I add text to charts/KPIs I would like to include a formula in the title name like I do when I add text to the pages.
Would be nice to have tooltips instead of adding text to provide context to different sections on a page (wastes page real estate)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping our clients without their own data teams answer important questions using our dashbaords
Reporting that's easy and powerful even for devs
What do you like best about the product?
Even as software engineers, Sigma is way faster to create dashboards than us building reports ourselves (and not as clunky as other BI tools). Also love how easy it is to integrate with other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sigma does have a learning curve — significantly faster than any other BI tool, but still requires at least a couple hours before you're very comfortable with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sigma to track product and customer metrics, so we know who may need our help.
Sigma makes self service data product possible
What do you like best about the product?
The export functionality is the best among all BI tools. The ability to export to different destinations is very helpful to get the report out to different stakeholders both internal and external. And it allows to share data easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
High price tag. Hi base platform fee would turn some small business away. Some functions are not working properly when they first release them. It's kinda annoying after you invest time to incorporate the new features and realize there's a bug on Sigma's side
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Self-Service Analytics
the load time for dashboard helped user to utilize dashboards more often and improved user experience compare to Tableau. The easy way to export underlying data to google sheet allow business user to do more in-depth Analysis without reaching out to data teamfor some more technical user, we can just give them prepared dataset, and they can explore by themselves.
We are also able to provide reports to external clients

Extremely powerful tool for reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma allows us to visualize and analyze complex data without coding skills. The UI is intuitive once you spent some time in the app, but they provide great training where they teach you everything you need.
They offer a lot of customization to create compelling charts and dashboards to communicate insights effectively.
However, the highlight for me is their support team. They offer live chat and the team is knowledgeable enough to help you build just about everything you can think of, in just a short chat. If things get more complex they often hop on a call during this chat and help you build what you need. It is really impressive!

What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the way how you can create new columns (using functions), it can be difficult to motivate end users to start creating their own reports or exploring what you built.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sigma allows us to preview and visualize data. All data visible in Sigma comes from our data warehouse, SnowFlake, which is our one and only source of truth for all data. Having Sigma helped us addressing discrepancies that we faced before, when teams were reporting out of different tools.
Great Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The functinality that is very similar to Excel is a game changes and incredibly user friendly and has allowed me to do so much more than other BI tools
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing that i can think of now but will let you know if it comes up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
saving hundreds of manual hours of work by automating a ton of various processes.
Good online collaborative data visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
The design of Sigma is very easy to navigate and quick to learn how to make charts. The support team is the best for all business vendors we have.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can have more tutorials and guides on the website to help us learn about the tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative data visualization. Easy to manage workspace and sharing dashboards across the company
