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 is like Excel completely reimagined from the ground up and specifically built for business intelligence. It does things you can't in Airtable, Google Sheets, or Tableau in a way that is very intentional and focused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

The act of actually getting everything set up could be improved, and part of this involves Sigma partnering with more companies to smooth this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Through Sigma we can create a unified marketing funnel, which can't be said for really anywhere else. Even the ability to simply unify shopify, email, facebook, and google alone would be enough to make it worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sigma makes it really easy to add visualizations to create dashboards but I wish it was easier for advanced users to control the layout better (maybe adding the ability to customize CSS or some other way for more complicated layouts). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We wanted a easy solution that users can pick up easily and also work with large amounts of data and Sigma fits those requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
