Review for Sigma
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customer service and responsiveness
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that not all excel financial functions are available
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wranging a lot of financial data
Like Excel / Google Sheets on Steroids
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma is incredibly easy to use from both a technical and non-technical perspective. My non-technical stakeholders love it because it looks and feels like excel or google sheets. And it runs incredibly fast on top of Snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a downside as there are other tools that do this much better, but Sigma does not have its own sematic layer so I need to rely on dbt or some other tool for a semantic layer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Self serve analytics. I have rolled out Sigma workbooks to our entire organization because they are incredibly easy and intuitive to use for both technical and non-technical stakeholders alike. Sigma is also replaceing Looker as our primary dashboarding and reporting tool.
Powerful modern BI tool for companies large or small
What do you like best about the product?
Sheet-like and easy to use for non-technical users
Data lineage view
Support Dataset well

Data governance and centralization through Dataset
Data democracy by exposing approved dataset to non-technical stakeholders for selfservice analytics
Data democracy by exposing approved dataset to non-technical stakeholders for selfservice analytics
Very powerful and useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is that you can perform analytics and create vizualizations and dashboards - so it serves as a one stop shop for all your needs! Highly recommended for creating demos/reports!
What do you dislike about the product?
It could have additional plotting capabilities like combining/superimposing two complex plots like box plots with jitters for more powerful vizualizations. Also if titles/axis on graphs could be dynamic based on filter values you could select, that would be fantastic!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sigma is helping to answer problems where user needs to input or create data to see vizualizations evolve live. The Input Table editable feature is perfect for this!
Data Analyst Intern

The most helpful things about Sigma is that it works for all different levels of experience and people with more or less SQL/programming epxerience can still use Sigma.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel a bit limited by the tools that Sigma provides unfortunately which can feel frustrated to have to find workarounds to do certain things but overall it's not bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sigma is helping me solve problems with visualizing data and showing the data in innovative and meaningful ways to extract certain insights. It can also handle a lot of complicated processes which is really great.
Excel for Big Data

It's super easy to create impactful and actionable insights from large amounts of data.
What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of good BI platforms for big data, like datasets from Snowflake, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Optimizing for the compute cost in your cloud data warehouse does take thoughtful intention and doesn't happen by default
- There are only two license tiers. Creating hybrid roles is possible but requires negotiation.

Internal team access to data dashboards and reports; embedded user access to data dashboards and reports
