Sigma Overview

What is Sigma?

Sigma is an award-winning modern business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform purpose-built for the cloud. With Sigma, anyone can use the spreadsheet functions and formulas they already know to explore live data at cloud scale, down to the lowest grain of detail. Our familiar spreadsheet-like interface delivers the full power of SQL into the hands of any user while keeping data fresh and secure within cloud data warehouses. Data-first companies use Sigma to empower their employees, customers, and partners to break free from the confines of the dashboard and explore data for themselves to make better, faster decisions. Our software was built to capitalize on the performance power of cloud data warehouses to combine data sources and analyze billions of rows of data instantly – no coding required.

Product Description

Give business teams the freedom to analyze cloud data in real time without limits. Sigma provides the full power of SQL without coding, cloud flexibility, and an intuitive spreadsheet interface.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Traditional analytics & BI tools work well when data teams can predict business requirements ahead of time and the data is not of massive scale. Yet, when those things change, traditional tools begin to struggle. That’s where Sigma comes in. Sigma was purpose-built with fresh code for the cloud. Our platform connects directly to cloud data warehouses and does not remove any data, allowing your data and business teams to leverage the scale of all available data without summarizing or creating extracts. Unlike traditional BI tools, Sigma does not require data to be heavily modeled to support unanticipated questions. Instead, end users can freely explore and analyze live, governed datasets within a cloud data warehouse using our intuitive spreadsheet-like interface.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

1) It does take a bit of time to get fully up to speed. More quickstarts and tutorials would be very helpful.

We are able to create dahsboards and financial reports much quicker and more customized than with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sigma?

It's quick to get started and easy to use with its spreadsheet-like interface. There's a lot of flexibility in governance, setting up workspaces for different teams, and managing permissions across users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

Functionality restrictions locked behind higher priced licenses. There are cumbersome workarounds that should just be available for the base tier like exporting data. Any user can copy/paste data from a table in Sigma into another tool, but they're not able to get an export button unless they're on a higher license tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sigma solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's more scalable and faster than our previous solution, allowing us to innovate quicker and deliver more analytics to more users and clients. Other team members with less data and analytics experience are able to leverage it with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sigma?

Sigma makes data visualization super easy. The way it integrates spreadsheet-like features is unique and makes it very easy to train new users. Their support is top-notch as well, with response times being sub-1 minute. We've been able to solve a lot of unique issues using Sigma that we haven't been able to before Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

Inability for Lite users to simply export a workbook isn't ideal. They make it difficult for Lite users to fully utilize dashboards (not talking explore) without needing Essential or Pro functionality. We've switched at least 3 account managers within the past year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sigma?

As long as you have a team that can power sigma and get it to do what you need it to do it is extremely powerful to pull the data that you need for your company. The data we get helps determine what changes we need to make and helps gain and retain clients. It was really easy to add it to our software and it is easy for our clients to use even when we have not instructed them how to read the data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

At times, you need to get creative to be able to pull the data you need. If you do not have a strong set of staff it may be difficult to achieve you desired results. There is a lag sometimes to have the data pull but it is not very frequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sigma solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use this to track the activity of our employees and our clients. We use this data for strategic conversations to help better our clients business and help make connections between lack of utilization and lack of profits, or conversely when they are using our software more they are more profitable. It helps keep our more difficult clients happy and with our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
