Native Cloud Data Warehouse Analytics & Business Intelligence Software

What do you like best about the product?

Very intuitive UI, a smooth overall experience, and it loads data quickly. The help desk support has been great, and it’s cheaper than Tableau, what’s not to like?

What do you dislike about the product?

Some quality of life features and customisation options are missing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to create dashboards that also include self-serve capabilities. Data loads very quickly as well, which makes the overall experience smooth.

What do you like best about the product?

I like how Sigma makes working with data feel fast and intuitive. Its spreadsheet-style interface, backed by powerful SQL under the hood, lets me explore, join, and visualize large datasets without having to wait on engineering support. That has noticeably sped up my analysis and improved how quickly I can make decisions.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main challenge I’ve run into with Sigma is access and permissions. At times, it can take a while to get the right data sources shared with the right people, which can slow adoption for new users. That said, once access is configured properly, the overall experience is smooth, powerful, and easy to work with.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sigma is helping us centralize and govern our key reference data through the Reference Data Management app. Its write-back capabilities also let us push clean, standardized values directly back into our source systems. This closes the loop between analysis and operations, cuts down on manual updates, and helps ensure everyone is working from consistent, up-to-date data.

What do you like best about the product?

Sigma has become an invaluable tool for my team and me. Its versatility supports everything from day-to-day operations to highly complex applications, giving users the development capabilities they need without extensive reliance on a corporate IT team. It saves us time and money while putting more power directly into users’ hands. With Sigma, my team can consolidate work previously spread across four to five separate tools into a single platform. Exceptional customer support makes the experience even better. For our team, Sigma stands out for its flexibility, efficiency, and ability to empower users.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sigma is a fast-growing company, but it’s important to take the time to understand the constraints that larger companies operate under, especially around security requirements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sigma transforms executive reporting from static presentations into an interactive experience with live, up-to-date results. Instead of relying on stale data copied into slides, our executive teams can add notes and other data points while preserving the original data. What I especially appreciate is how Sigma brings the data and its story together in a single platform, making our reporting more dynamic, collaborative, and meaningful.

What do you like best about the product?

What I enjoy most is how easily it integrates with our internal reporting system and can pull large amounts of data into a format that’s easy to understand. The system is also very easy to navigate and generally runs smoothly.

I’ll also add that the customer support team responds quickly and works to address any issues as soon as possible.

Overall, my experience with Sigma, both the platform and the support team, has been great.

What do you dislike about the product?

The most consistent challenge I’ve had with the Sigma platform is the lag time when loading data, which is understandable to a degree depending on the size of the workbook.

However, it can still be frustrating when I’m working in a shared workbook and changes can’t be saved because the system doesn’t process the data in a timely manner, especially when working on a deadline.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

While Sigma has been implemented at my workplace since I started, I can say it has significantly helped ensure our data is reliably delivered to teams nationwide. It also makes it easy for us to limit what each team can see based on their region, which helps refine their overall experience.

What do you like best about the product?

It’s very intuitive from a BI development and admin perspective. From the business side, it’s also easy to pick up for self-service, ad-hoc reporting. They’re constantly releasing great capabilities that continue to improve the utilization of Sigma.

What do you dislike about the product?

At times it is hard to control what features are released in your instance and communication on new features and bug fixes has been improving.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

A visualization solution for consuming data from Databricks, with AI analysis of the data sources provided. It also supports fast-paced model and semantic-layer building, which helps deliver quick solutions for the business.

What do you like best about the product?

I use several Sigma dashboards to monitor performance across different areas and guide my decisions with the insights. Sigma helps me identify trends in claims data, and I love using AI tools with the Sigma MCP to spot patterns faster. I like the spreadsheet format because it makes it easy to filter for the information I need and identify trends. I also like being able to save and customize my filters and searches. The initial setup was easy for me.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find it challenging to find the right dashboard for a particular question and know which filters will narrow the data to the subset I need. I use the Sigma MCP in an AI tool to look at available dashboards, and it would be helpful to have this option embedded within Sigma if it isn’t already a feature.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sigma helps me identify trends in claims data, and I love accessing the data with AI tools through the Sigma MCP to spot patterns faster.

What do you like best about the product?

Sigma has significantly streamlined our data workflows. By moving away from manual excel updates to automated Sigma reports, our team saves hours of analysis and prep time each week, allowing us to focus on operational insights rather than raw data assembly.

What do you dislike about the product?

speed relies heavily on warehouse performance, advanced calculations have a learning curve, and complex data modeling requires upfront setup.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

centralizes vendor, inventory, and lifecycle data for accurate tracking, handles heavy data easily, queries the data warehouse directly, eliminates spreadsheets and lag.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that Sigma gives us on-demand reporting with up-to-date information and lets users do quick analysis in the platform instead of downloading data to Excel. The interface is intuitive, and the analytics feel approachable for people without technical backgrounds. It reminds me of Excel, so onboarding new users is easy. I can get help through live chat whenever I need it, and the support staff are knowledgeable and right there when needed. I also like hosting our data in Sigma, where we can create and troubleshoot data models and let users build reports from data we’ve already QA’d. Building and sharing reports is easier, and puts governance on the users creating the reports. Setup was straightforward.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sigma limits how many custom views I can make and how many cells I can export. We have a lot of data users need to see in granular detail, so we still use Excel and need to bring data outside Sigma. We’ve had to use workarounds, with users going to a shared drive for information when we’d prefer they stay in Sigma. These limits prevent us from having everything hosted in Sigma.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Sigma for on-demand reporting with the latest information. I can stay in Sigma instead of downloading data to Excel and keeping it locally, and do quick analytics without setting up analysis in Excel on my computer.

What do you like best about the product?

The way Sigma is able to take interactive dashboards and turn them into actionable dashboards puts it above the other BI platforms I've used in the past. I'm a huge fan of input tables and how easily they integrate with our Snowflake database. Also, the support team is great.

What do you dislike about the product?

Performance is occasionally an issue. I'm always able to find a solution that works, but it usually takes some iteration. Also, the out-of-the-box visuals are limited compared to say, Tableau, though I've found custom plug-ins to be a viable alternative.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Once again, the ability to input data using dashboards has been a game-changer for us. I also think user licensing is a bit easier on Sigma than it was on Tableau.

What do you like best about the product?

Sigma’s interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which has made onboarding smooth for both report consumers and creators. The platform offers strong traditional BI capabilities, while data transformation and modeling workflows are straightforward and approachable. Performance has also been excellent, although it is naturally influenced by the configuration and capacity of the underlying data warehouse. Sigma’s customer support has been excellent. Live chat is available during Pacific Time business hours, and the support team follows up after providing a solution to confirm that it fully addresses the customer’s needs. The company also makes it easy to access office hours for additional guidance, and our Customer Success Manager team has been highly responsive and supportive.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are a few drawbacks to consider. Pricing and feature availability were not always clearly understood during our evaluation and implementation. For example, basic data export capabilities require a paid subscription, whereas comparable functionality is often included as a standard feature on other platforms. We have also found lifecycle management somewhat challenging and less intuitive than expected.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sigma gives our users immediate access to data in a format that feels familiar and approachable. Because many of our users are comfortable with Excel and tabular data models, they can explore and analyze information with a shorter learning curve. The platform also helps close a key capability gap by supporting data input and writeback workflows that are more difficult to manage in many traditional BI tools.
