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 like best about Sigma?

In Sigma, we have the ability to create data links right in the platform. This feature lets our analysts link up countless data sources while keeping the dataset lean and mean, free from any unnecessary bulk.

Sigma is the only BI tool that I came across which provides access to "Viewers" without the need of assigning them licenses.

Sigma’s built-in elements such as KPIs, pivot tables, filters, and simple chart types make it easy for anyone to create meaningful data insights.

Also, being a SAAS offering there is no need to host infra and that helps avoid unnecessary overhead of backend infra managemenet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

If someone is looking to create highly complex or artistic data visualizations, Sigma might fall short on their expectations. There is not much we can customize in the UI in addition to the built-in elements.

Also, despite Sigma's user friendly interface and design, folks without any data analysis experience may face a little steep learning curve.

Sigma, being newer to the market compared to legacy products like Tableau or Power BI, some feature set within it are still evolving, and also there are fewer people in market who are expert at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is helping us visualise huge amount of dataset stored in Data Warehouse - Snowflake and AWS Datalake and making some sense out of the data.

We have all the data coming from various tools like Salesforce, databases, etc into Snowflake. We are using Sigma it to visualize this data the which captures our product adoption, user feedback, customer sentiment, repeat rate and various other metrics. Creating visual representations of this data using Sigma aids in pinpointing our shortcomings, which in turn fosters broader acceptance and the enhancement of our services.

On corporate side, we use Sigma to create trackers and metrics around employee engagement by virtue of dashboards around their metrics on internal project management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
