A dashboarding tool for quickly visualizing analysis.
What do you like best about the product?
Data can be imported directly and very quickly from your data warehouse, and the variety of visualization options and intuitive custom column functions makes analysis easy. Their support chat is extremely helpful, and with their help, nothing stands in your way of telling a story to stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wanted Sigma as a tool to replace google sheets, but some functionality is not quite fully supported to justify this transition; however, we know that the Sigma team is building out this functionality with Input Tables, and it is only a matter of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a tool to quickly and consistently develop dashboards, and Sigma provided a platform to write SQL and import our granular datamarts to visualize and share among our stakeholders.
Sigma makes my life way easier and impresses our customers!
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma is like Excel on steroids! Very powerful, dynamic, saves me time, and I'm able to convey data driven insights directly to my customers. No code is needed to find value in Sigma. Sigma also has a very robust customer support team to answer questions whenever you need help.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one immediate challenge I've found is for a ConvertTimeZone function, it is a static function. That said, the support agent linked me to an existing ticket and they are working on a solution in the tool for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sigma takes all of our data, allows me to add helper fields, and then provides me automated analytics and reporting functionality that I can use to better run our operation.
Sigma Experience

What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't a lot of resources available online relating to Sigma, but this is alleviated by the quick responses of the support team.

Sigma for Operational & Analytical Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
All Industries run by Excel, but when we are in the cloud, Sigma is alternative.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not yet to Savy as Excel and should also be able to crate a Single Page Web App for Data Referential activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly to move the Excel Savy people online.
Sigma
What do you like best about the product?
Customer Service is pretty great. They are fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Design and UI feels very outdated and old.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Replacing excel in data warehousing and visualization
Excel on Steroids
What do you like best about the product?
- The Concept: I think it's brilliant that Sigma leveraged the idea that everyone knows and understands Excel/Google Sheets. Then accessed data in Snowflake and leveraged compute in Snowflake to create a tool that allows more non-technical users to be highly effective analysts with only Google Sheets/Excel skills.
- Support: Their support is second to none, though I'm skeptical of its scalability. For now, having someone real and competent on the other side to answer questions immediately is fantastic.
- Speed of Delivery: They have a solid product and development team, as seen through their velocity of major feature releases.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Cost: It's expensive to upgrade once you're in. Recommend knowing what you'll need immediately, but negotiate for what you need in 2 years.
- Visualizations: Solid enough for rudimentary visualizations, but has a lot to catch up on, especially if they want to compete with the BI giants.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a two-sided platform in the FinTech world, some of the problems that Sigma is solving for us are:
- Making analytics and visualizations available externally for all of our customers.
- Securitizing the data to ensure that we only provide access to data that the customer should see.
- Allowing our customers to explore their data and build their visualizations based on the available data.
- Enabling our customers to export data through emails or file drops on a scheduled basis.
Internal utilization:
- Data democratization - Everyone in tech knows how to use Excel and Google Sheets. The bar to entry is shallow.

Upcoming Competitor to Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma has a lot of functionalities that rival Tableau. The best thing is that it is much faster to prototype dashboards on Sigma.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs more developers to build out more features and products
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy visualizations that are digestible to my stakeholders.
Sigma - the best visualization platform for those without being very technical
What do you like best about the product?
The teams and their abilities to help customers and stakeholders understand what issues they are having and assisting the internal teams to find alternative solutions. . We also like their Chat feature, this has been very useful with formulas that worked in our other platform and "translating" it to work in Sigma. Very cool feature!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations with the map features, but I understand the product team is working on it and will have better updates for future use cases. The Sigma platform is very Excel, user friendly but has some issues with those who are used to writing SQL queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous platform had limitations in queries running for hours before updating a data visualization or report. Sigma was brought in because of it's ability to interact and ingest data from multiple data warehouses and use those data warehouses to cache data in memory for ease of use.
