Intellicus BI vs. Sigma Computing

Intellicus makes complex data analysis easy through the use
of Powerful Business Intelligence tools.
Their dashboard capabilities provide a flexible and efficient way to
deliver information and analytic tools to users without the need for highly
technical skills.



Non-technical users are not exposed to simplified ways to
build data query logic. This is a tricky
requirement to satisfy though, because of the level of complexity that is
inherent within data mining and analysis.

Its a great tool to have. The ability to come in the morning and by using the report being able see how the day will go. Seeing the goal and the current inventory and also to be able to adjust as the day goes on. With the report updates the report as changes to the inventory happen live or if any issues arise. being able to see that live and being to react quickly.

• Dashboards are flexible and comprehensive
• Visualization tools are easy-to-understand and contain powerful analysis capabilities.
• System administration including multiple data source configuration, application deployment and upgrading, and integration scheduling is straightforward and efficient.
• The Intellicus team is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with!

• Allows end users to easily dive into the data without having direct access to the table in our database management software.
• Can easily turnaround dashboards that are detailed and visually pleasing.
• Sigma is intuitive and as new features are rolled out it is easy to adopt and incorporate them into new and existing dashboards.

• Building complex query objects and cubes could be more user-friendly.
• User interface loads of complex OLAP of large data cubes could always use improved performance :)

• Viewer level license is quite limited. These users can't download data or even add filters on datasets. Something to keep in mind.
• Directly querying the underlying data warehouse will lead to increased usage. Not a big deal on something like Redshift, but your Snowflake consumption will increase, potentially by a lot.

Sigma has helped us a lot and has become an integral part of our daily workflow. It would be difficult to switch to another platform and have to rebuild the numerous metrics and performance reports that we have already established

It has a clean and modern interface. However, it is not completely intuitive. I think it would be better and easier to navigate with more Windows style drop down menus and/or tabls. There is a significant learning curve, but that may be due in part to the technical nature of this type of software tool.

Yes, as long as you don’t conduct user error sigma is always up and running and waiting for you to complete your dashboards

Incentivized

It depends, it loads quickly for smaller dashboards but when loading larger amounts of data it takes more time to do so

Incentivized

Support team is helpful in answering questions and providing help with using the UI. There are knowledgeable people within the support team. There are also good online support tools. There are significant community support resources available. There is however lack of a live support. It would be useful to have live phone number or chat to use.

Sigma is by far the best. It is easiest to learn and easiest to use on a day to day basis. I never have to wait for dashboards to load and it's very easy to understand the variables that are going into my visualizations. Best of all I can manipulate the data within Sigma very easily. In these other platforms data manipulation is difficult or must be done in the data warehouse

It is a cloud service offering that is able to expand based on your usage

• Intellicus provides the necessary Business Intelligence capability that is required by our customers.
• The business value is almost impossible to quantify because it is a critical part of nearly every customer account we have!

• Monitoring health of cloud platform has allowed the company to anticipate issues before they affect customers – Sigma prompted us building a canary monitoring process that provides customer container health.
• Customer success has used an activity report to discover customers running runaway processes that they were unaware of, creating an alert to contact the customer and prevent an embarrassing situation.
• Customer success uses the activity report to prompt conversations regarding increases or declines in behavior that led to increasing contract limits or addressing churn concerns.
