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.

Incentivized Review
What do you like best about Sigma?

I've basically only used it to find interesting examples of products for my analyses, and I like that this tool has saved me a lot of time in more than one occasion. I have turned to it because it was much faster to find examples from our database by using this too instead of having to manually look at all the products. I also like that it is very intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

I would like to be able to easily open the results all together in our database (all together instead of having to open each result one by one), to choose the examples to use in my presentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's easier and faster to find innovative examples using sigma than doing it manually. I am solving the problem of having to go manually through long lists of data that might not be relevant while sigma helps me to easily point out some objects with some characteristics that we are not yet able to do from the internal tool.
