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.

Great for quick data analysis and dashboarding

A newer product that does not have as large of a community as some of the other more common BI tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my use case, Sigma makes it easy to discover data quality issues that might lead to bad information being surfaced to out users.
Powerful data analysis tool for non-technical users
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a non-technical PM. Sigma has a relatively moderate learning curve (a few hours), but once you get the hang of it there's a definite 80/20 rule where a few basics will take you far and help you unlock the power to create advanced reports. For 99% of reports, it replaces the need to write SQL (you still can if you want).
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating dashboards can be fiddly. They have a folder system, but managing existing reports can quickly get out of hand. Playing around with an existing report requires you to create a new one, leaving hundreds of temporarily used saved reports in my wake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis of business data and product usage data.
We also used their embedded feature to embed Sigma reports inside our customer-facing application, which saved us the work of building a reporting feature ourselves.

Sigma for our growing Startup
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visualization features. Far superior to Tableau as far as generating stunning visuals for all levels of our organization
What do you dislike about the product?
Sigma does lack a few advanced reporting and formula capabilities, compared to some of the more mature visualization tools such as Tableau
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a cost-effective way to visualize the data stored in our Data Warehouse and provided Robust capabilities to do so.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sigma is very flexible and meets a lot of requirements any startup may have
positive experience
What do you like best about the product?
i like the leveling and grouping aspect. it makes the data easy to organize
What do you dislike about the product?
workbooks has solved much of the issue of keeping dashboard data organized. I wish that customizing the color scheme on dashboards was easier and more personalized. It is annoying that if you want to change the background of a chart, you have to do it on the worksheet level
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we use sigma for business metrics, which it is extremely useful for. it is easy to teach new employees how to use the software
Happy Sigma user
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and easy to teach. It's very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is just starting to come into maturity. However, I've been a Sigma user since the very beginning (or close to it), so it can be hard to keep up with the changes/additions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We just needed more visibility into our internal activities and understanding what activities drive revenue growth. It has also allowed us to better understand the efficacy of our operational improvements.
