Product Details

What is Sigma?

Sigma is a 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. Its familiar spreadsheet-like interface delivers SQL into the hands of any user while keeping data fresh and secure within cloud data warehouses.


Data-first companies can 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. The 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.

If we have very huge data that has to be filtered based on the selection in the workbook filters, then passing the control IDs of the filters as the parameters directly in the SQL query is a great help. This way helps us in optimizing large SQL queries as well. If we want our front end application filters with the Sigma Computing dashboard filters to communicate with each other, we can certainly do that in embedding with the help of the control_ids.

Sigma Computing is well suited where you want to save your time in building the dashboards and have a self service based UI where a person can make changes very easily to the dashboard and the people who are working with Spreadsheets and now want to switch to some BI tool it will be really easy to learn and work on.
Saving costs for the client in multiple ways like embedding, Running warehouse queries etc.

Sigma Computing is the perfect tool for those looking for excel / spreadsheet user interface that comes with all the power of a cloud data warehouse. It provides end users with a low code environment to build and access all the rich data our data engineering team has created without needing to know complex data wrangling techniques.

As long as you have data experience, Sigma Computing is a pretty straight forward tool. The ability to embed charts, workbooks, and different assets publicly is very useful especially when needing to send something over to a user. This is a better and cleaner way than to just send over a screenshot of a chart.

Sigma Computing is hard to use however when you are building so many different charts and workbooks, it is impossible to search for a chart that exists inside a workbook. In addition to that, when needing to answer a one-off question, the only option to create is to create a workbook or a new dataset. This means that the best way to test or find a one-off question is to create a workbook called "sandbox", or something temporarily which is not so clean.
