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?

I can't just pick one, so here are my top 3 favorite things about Sigma:

1. An intuitive and responsive interface: Even as someone who knows sql, I love bringing in a full table to Sigma and doing exploratory analysis to understand the data and see what insights are possible. Great for QAing data as well.

2. Access to 'data on the data on the data', as a coworker put it: The various audit log tables for Admins allow me to better understand how our teams are using Sigma, clean up old workbooks, etc. Even simple features, like 'Column Details' which allows us to quickly see summary and statistical information for a column, are incredibly useful.

3. Continuous evolution and support: They're frequently adding new features as clients like us make requests. We've been using Sigma for two years and the scale of advancement has been incredible. And having real people available to help—Customer Success Managers, Live chat support, even Product Managers—has been invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

I wish we could join data from different connections (data warehouses), but I understand why we can't, and the benefits of Sigma's structure outweigh this limitation.

There are definitely features and parts of the UI that could improve. For example, better search functionality that goes beyond document titles and that displays the options in a more meaningful way would be amazing. However, I am confident that Sigma will continue to fix and improve the tool over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our company relies heavily on data to track progress, make decisions, and provide services for our clients. The BI Tool we used previously would crash every afternoon at 3pm Eastern, literally pausing work for some individuals. Additionally, due to the advanced knowledge required, only technical users could made updates to dashboards and datasets.

Sigma has improved our workflow by providing a reliable platform that supports full-day usage. Its intuitive interface has enabled self-service reporting and data explorations. And features like input tables have allowed us to automate processes that were previously manual—saving more than 150 hours per month for one of our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sigma?

The platform can do nearly all things a BI platform needs to do in a very straightforward way. The UI/UX is great and users have had no problem understanding the features. We really like how easy it is to connect to the popular data warehousing platforms how simple the adminstration is. The customer support has also been incredible for feature request, questions, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

Nothing in particular. The dashboarding features are not quite as built out as other platforms so for companies that rely heavily on Power BI/Tableau it might be more of a complement rather than a replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sigma has been a great resource for self service analytics, and for users to develop quick reports using an excel like interface with the latest data from the warehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
