Easy to use and create for customers
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma is easy to setup with any kind of system you're currently using to get your dashboard up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
My manager is asking me to create all these dashboard he wants to see
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aggreating data sources for visilization. Setup and giving specific dashboard for clients to see and use.
Extremely valuable product!
What do you like best about the product?
Love the UI and the way the program is able to synthesize data in a way that's easy to understand. It's been an invaluable resource for myself and the sales team to measure success, where improvements are needed, and forecasting for future months and quarters.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a steep learning curve, but it becomes manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesizing data from many different parts of the organization in a way that others can clearly and easily grasp. I've realized that understanding data isn't so difficult when you have Sigma!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for Analytics, this is your product!
Great tool for data analysis and exploration
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma is a versatile data lake that can accommodate multiple database sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sigma prefixes table names to differentiate database sources, but sometimes this causes confusion between cross-functional business units when multiple units derive critical insights from the same data lake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sigma to analyze the success of our software features across key user metrics. Sigma has enabled us to rapidly iterate on software deployment and deploy to specific cohorts of users based on real-life feedback.
Upgrade from traditional querying tools, great for scheduled reports
What do you like best about the product?
Export functionality to google sheets and slack, using a scheduler
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to create multiple documents to produce filtered visualizations for a single sheet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking adoption of certain features in the backend. Creating dashboards and reports to improve visibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand your users and whether joining tables using Sigma's interface will suffice. For non-technical users we find it challenging.
Quick and easy. Still some functionality the leaves the experience short of Tableau.
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma taps into our database super quickly and has dramatically reduced the time to business insights. As a Marketer, we used to rely completely on a team that needed to write SQL to pull the data I can now pull with Sigma. The user interface is pretty intuitive and works seamlessly. I also really liked the user onboarding seminar Sigma did with our company – putting real examples in front of us with our data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how limited calculated fields are. The level of detail you can reach with Tableau is lacking with Sigma. e.g., LOD calculations, row calculations, and some of the visualization customizations. It did also take a while for our team to get the product up and running to a point where someone who has limited SQL knowledge could use it. Things like Tableau Prep that help visualize data before you analyze it are super helpful, where there isn't anything like that available for Sigma as far as I know. There could also be better help resources to explain how to use the product. Maybe a user forum or a video series that explains how to get the most out of Sigma.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to tap into data as a Product Manager where I used to rely on our Analytics team. Faster speed to insights.
Great tool for visual feedback.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. Sigma enabled me to get real time information of how my product was performing. I like how easy it is to work with the data and when there are complex SQLs that are needed the tool allows me to play with the same. Whenever product teams have a question, it's super simple to spin up a sigma worksheet and target what is needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I need to create intermediate columns with filters to get a better view of what's needed, rather than using the data aggregation itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Sigma to get information about how new products developed at clover are doing and to get stats on sources of revenue.
We use Sigma as a feedback tool to see how a product is doing, track changes in spending patterns and revenue sources across merchants .

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have your data pipeline already established and need a tool to take advantage of that. Sigma is a really easy and user friendly tool to get insights.
Quick queries w/o the need for SQL knowledge; fantastic support staff.
What do you like best about the product?
- It increases the number of employees that can effectively use out company's data. Knowledge of querying languages isn't necessary, but I love that Sigma still offers the option of using SQL (particularly for those that are more familiar with them and/or highly complex queries).
- Sigma allows you to quickly query vast amounts of data. This cloud-based solution integrates seamlessly with our Snowflake aggregator.
- Option to export Google Sheets, .csv, and .xlsx

What do you dislike about the product?
- When adding values to include/exclude in a filter, it's not obviously that clicking away from the field entry will initiate the application of the filter.
- Unable (to my knowledge) to eliminate rows of data with duplicate entries.
- The UI could use a color-scheme change to differentiate visuals. For example, a user's tables/folders cannot be organized (alphanumeric ordering is a workaround), nor can they be color coded for easy navigation. Most of the UI is gray or various shades of blue.
- There is a 150k row limit on exports.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As noted above, Sigma greatly increased the population of colleagues that could effectively access and query data--I'd estimate that it's grown our 'proficient' data consumers by 30-40% company-wide. Non-data pros now have the ability to peruse and export data as they please.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sigma is well suited for companies/business units that are >20-30 people--those that require broad access to data company-wide will see the most immediate benefit. Sigma doesn't make too much sense for companies with a very limited population of data users, or if all data/analysis is routed directly through one small team (e.g., a 1-3 person team that specializes in-/is solely dedicated to data).
Those that have already implemented Snowflake have a large advantage for roll-out, but Snowflake is not a necessity.

Light weight tool, good options for detailed analysis, there is scope to improve at visuals.
What do you like best about the product?
Playing with worksheets. And showing only 1000 rows at a time to iplove performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less options on visuals. No options for dynamic visibility, dynamic filtering or passing dynamic values to parameters.
Overlapping of charts not possible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a good tool for cloud platform. It has flexibility to join snowflake, Google and Amazon.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for excel types of work and basic visuals can be created. Its a good tool if you are looking for cloud solution.
Not much options available for visuals. It has good performance.

searching for tables and databases is difficult, filter
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all kinds of operational problems
Good for exploring data
What do you like best about the product?
easy to get the sense of the table and do the simple join. The visualization it's easier and intuitive and more powerful than excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
People without SQL concept tend to find it difficult to use Sigma. For those complicated join or want to make it into certain format, it's hard to use Sigma than just write SQL query...

Daily transactional / revenue / usage report and share with internal stakeholders via Schedule (email)
