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 like best about Sigma?

Sigma Computing offers a modern approach to business intelligence that stands out in the industry. I particularly appreciate the complete control over performance provided by the cloud data warehouse live connection, materialization, and caching capabilities. Sigma's platform presents far more commercialization opportunities compared to other tools, allowing our clients to truly experience a self-service environment. The product is continuously improved with thoughtful enhancements and a forward-thinking roadmap that leverages the latest technological developments. Moreover, the in-app live support with real humans enables our analysts and developers to resolve issues swiftly and efficiently, significantly boosting our productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

There is truly nothing that I dislike about Sigma. I would however recommend investing more in controls for formatting static reports as well. To be the "all-in-one" solution it must include top notch PDF and XLSX exporting functionalities, and while they do exist and are good, there is room for improvement on the export quality, specifically for margins, elements potentially being cut off due to sizing, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a market research and analytics company, we heavily rely on business intelligence tools to develop and maintain our products and services. We almost exlusively use Sigma for all of these operations. Sigma has enabled us to work faster, be more analytical, and deliver a higher quality product to our clients.

What do you like best about Sigma?

Sigma has been a game changer at for Florida Cancer Specialist. Our organization still did a lot of analysis using excel. The organization did not want to give up use of excel, as they were comfortable with using it and being able to quickly manipulate data. We first introduced Sigma in early January of 2024, and ever since, it has been a game changer. People want all reports to be in sigma, and love how intuitive and easy it is to use. We currently use PowerBi for reports and dashboards, but were limited with what data we could provide, and if there was a lot of data, the report would take a while to produce results. With Sigma, we can publish large amounts of data quickly, plus it also has some great visualizations. In less than 6 months Sigma has changed the way the organization views data, and they just can’t seem to get enough of Sigma. In addition to easy of use, and large amounts of data that it can display, the “World Class” support from Sigma make it a BI tool like no other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

I wish we had started using Sigma earlier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sigma, has allowed us to share transactional data for our finance and audit teams. Not only have we be able to expose over a million lines of data, but it is done in a matter of seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
