Nothing I can call out at this moment as something I dislike as I have not had much exposure as of yet.

We are primarily using it for writeback functionality back to our Snowflake back-end.

None
Great Analytical Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard Capability, accessing data is easy because you do not need to write SQL, can pivot data into something easily digestible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to be a more powerful tool, but is more rigid then using excel for presentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to combine data systems for more unified reporting where we were once silo'd.
Easy to access data
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to build custom reporting and visualizations without writing queries. It empowers our teams to solve problems on their own.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to speak of here, I would say the help content could be a bit easier to read.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to make quick decisions for customer outreach based on app usage, and we can see this using Sigma.
Great and User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
How quickly you can make your tables and get data is what I like best. The way that you can manipulate data is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The logo is the only thing I dislike about the product. Other than that, it works very well!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am getting data from the same source for reporting. I can easily see the benefits from Sigma and the way it is helping our company get results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to look at all the features Sigma offers. The amount of filtering and data blending is amazing. Being able to connect to databases is very helpful!
Great way to share a report
What do you like best about the product?
It creates such an easy way to share reports and work with other teams over data reports and to create custom reports on the fly; other teams can easily visualize, modify and export those reports, which is a great help and save a lot of unnecessary report emails
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit slow at times, especially when refreshing big reports, but this issue is to be expected when dealing with large amounts of data, besides that there is not much to complain
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing reports with other teams and building custom reports with other teams over a shared spaces, without the need to set up complex projects or send the information back and forth
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation and try to start creating small reports, once you have the hang of it go big
Sigma FTW
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to blend different discrete data sources without having to code. We use this in connection to our Snowflake database. The speed of the analysis is great and is a nice mix of fully governed data and free analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, not a whole lot stands out as negative. I would like there to be a little more analytical features out of the box. Maybe some simple trending or statistical processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most significant benefit is allowing people to explore data and blend their data into the database without BI/Data personnel. They can explore and add in their own formulas, making it almost a truly self service soultion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool. We've been able to implement and have our users create useful insights all in under a week.
Best reporting tool I've used till now
What do you like best about the product?
Integrated querying-tool and spreadsheet-like interface
What do you dislike about the product?
Limit rows number when exporting data. The work made behind the scenes when materializing datasets seems to be not much clean. I've got asked a lot by the Data Infrastructure managers "who is running this query?" while they show me a huge query with lots of aliases and subqueries. Currently, we've migrated to Snowflake + dbt, so we are doing that materializing there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End-user can download charts source data (self-service). Clone a dashboard with minor modifications. Schedule sending of reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sigma is the future, is an excellent tool in combination with dbt
Sigma user review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how secure it is because it allows me to use SSO to log in. I like combining multiple data sources such as database tables, csv, and Excel files. I love how fast Sigma is to show data and how flexible it is.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love the way data source joins are done; I know it works very well, but I would prefer to have something more visual and accessible, something that reminds me of the joins I have applied
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Sigma to create relationships between multiple data sources without having actually to query a database and use complex SQL queries; I can tell that it is always faster to use Sigma instead of query the database directly and create CSV files to work with them on Excel.
