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.

Sigma at a startup
I use Sigma to create queries joining multiple data sources to create dashboards, reports, and surface key business metrics and insights.

Sigma Update
We are currently using Sigma for KPI reports and Histograms to determine how select models are performing as well as certain brands.

Absolutely Love Sigma Computing. Huge Time Saver!
Our BI team suggested we start using Sigma Computing to help save time on all of our requests every day. Once we moved over we discovered the amazing possibilities it offers and currently use it daily to review daily customer transactions and insights, overall business trends, and automated reports for sales and leadership teams. Sigma Computing has helped ramp up our productivity and internal insights in a way no other platform has been able to. It also saved countless hours we used to spend manually tying data together from different sources across our databases.

Great, but Limited for Now.
It is our main business intelligence tool, and is used in tandem with Google BigQuery to be a connection point where teams and stakeholders can draw analysis and create reporting from our multiple data sources. The business problems this address includes ranges from internal analysis (such as providing cohesive reporting for our finance teams) to external problem solving (product, customer success, sales, and marketing).

Review of Sigma Computing
I use Sigma Computing to measure delivery quality and volume on a daily basis with a huge number of metrics day over day and week over week.

Sigma: As easy to use as Excel, as powerful as Tableau.
The team I am on, has a small headcount for the number of clients we're supporting. Sigma has helped us massively reduce the amount of time it takes for us to compile reports and actionable business intelligence from dozens of hours a week down to 1-3 hours. Moreover, it's helped us in supporting our sales reps with information on their specific clients. The scope of use for our team has only continued to grow as other teams realize use cases based on what I've built so far for my team.

Sigma Computing Review
I use Sigma Computing to build dashboards to show results to collaborators and broader groups. My use case is to set up daily updating dashboards that can track and visualize data in order to help the Ops team track the status of our experiments and markets. It also helps people in the company to check the live status of my work.

Sigma is Success for Any Size Data Program
Sigma is a toll that works in the same way a spreadsheets work. But with data joining functionality similar to SQL and far easier to create visualizations. We chose Sigma because it makes data easy to access and use for a business user. IT resources are scarce for creating new reports and versions of reports.

If you're looking for an intuitive data solution, choose SIGMA
We use Sigma Computing as an embedded solution for our users. We use Sigma to help our customers see high level overview how they are doing in terms of the jobs they completed within the day. If the user is looking at the reports from a management perspective, the reporting shows how their employees are doing at a high level.

Sigma Computing Tailors Data to What You Need!
I use Sigma to track employee performance as well as deep dive inventory issues. I also use Sigma to audit employee actions and also use Sigma data to lead performance evaluations with my team. Additionally, I can also use Sigma to compare my site's performance with that of other sites across the nation. Sigma does a great job at compiling all relevant information onto one easy-to-read spreadsheet.

Great for viewers, not for builders
Sigma Computing is used to make our data sharable with people that don't have SQL expertise and to create easily accessible reports to track client statistics/metrics. Most reports are either used on a weekly basis for business reporting purposes or ad-hoc as tools to pull relevant data or information based on specific inputs.

Sigma - The New Data Analysis Movement.
Our company deals with millions of transactions on a daily basis that requires analysis which is unachievable with Excel unless possessing SQL knowledge to limit datasets. We have several databases and individuals that do not know SQL. Sigma allows for seamless integration of databases in an Excel-like interface that is comfortable and quite intuitive. Sigma is used to build daily distributed reports for multiple departments as well as management dashboards and Adhoc query/report requests.

Heading in the right direction
Sigma Computing is used for all of our reporting and analytics in the organization. It is used daily by many users in the company to track KPIs and other more detailed facets of the business as well. Sigma is also used for external presentations and leave behinds for our teams.

Vetted Review
Verified User
I use Sigma for all of my reporting needs and analyzing data from all sources within the company. I love that it is pretty flexible but it has gone down several times and when that happens we cannot do our jobs. I would also love it to be more spreadsheet-like with multiple sorts and other options.
August 25, 2022
Simplicity and power in one tool. Fast dynamic and powerful dashboards without the troubles of other tools.
We use Sigma Computing on a daily basis to monitor the health of our business. We track the main KPIs, the results of the different experiments, how are our campaigns performing, the conversion funnel, etc. Also, we monitor some operational items, like data conciliation between different sources with an alarm to inform us when a difference is found.

Sigma is simply amazing! The product and the team.
We've built our newest product, WageScape, a labor market analytics application, using Sigma Computing. WageScape helps you see what’s coming on the horizon for pay trends and labor market intelligence by collecting and presenting important data points from public-facing sources in easy-to-use data visualizations.

Sigma: Democratizing access to data
Sigma Computing allows us to give our employees easy access to our data. We use this data to determine marketing channel efficacy, measure the success of new product features, and track usage information. We have set up Sigma Computing as the central location to combine data from the product, marketing spend, and revenue to give us a holistic view of LTV and CAC. The spreadsheet-like interface has made it easy for non-technical users to get up to speed quickly and makes it approachable to dig into the deeper capabilities.

Sigma user survey
I use Sigma to build debugging tools to check the configuration and metadata input by Ops and Customers. I am quite proficient in writing SQL and query data, but not everyone is. It's really handy and let people use the tools so that they can figure out the issue on their own, instead of leveraging engineers time.
- I like the conditional highlight feature.
- I like the flexibility I can change the width and height of the widget.
- I constantly update the dashboard so I'd like to see version somewhere in the view.
- The query is a bit slow but I don't know if that's Sigma's issue or the query engine we are leveraging on.

Good enough, worth spending time with.
We use Sigma as our primary data visualization tool for delivering operational metrics throughout the company. Astronomer is a fast growing cloud-based software startup and we faced the typical scaling issue of delivering a wide range of operational metrics to a broad audience. The metrics covered platform health, customer activity and behavior, trouble tickets, contracts and order, HR activity. For the most part employees are generally sophisticated data consumers and wanted the ability to parametize and drill into the metrics that help them run the business – Sigma a good fit for this use case.
We use Sigma to do deep dives into how a store is performing and to find other account details a lot easier.

Quick Metrics for Faster Results
We use Sigma to easily mockup new visualizations, metrics and full dashboards for clients who use our marketplace platform. This way the business development team can work on new client analytics features without software development team resources. Once the features are tested and approved by the client in Sigma, we can refine them & add them to our own analytics platform, confident that they're exactly what our clients need!

great for visualizing data
Data deep dives, weekly metrics tracking, long term forecasting.
I use it primarily to measure the effectiveness of a content marketing program consisting of multiple media brands. This includes overall site traffic analytics and conversion activity, as well as specific marketing tech platforms in my tech stack. I use Sigma Computing to create dashboards for my internal analytics team, as well as other (non-analytics) editorial staff. I also create several visualizations that can be used for client reporting deliverables.

Solid product and good for non-technical users
Build business dashboard for different stakeholders. Report KPIs and make the dashboard self-serve to marketing department

Traditional BI is Dead; Long Live Sigma!
I use Sigma along with the rest of the Data Team to design dashboards and derive key insights for several internal teams at our company. Sigma makes the insights discovery process much, much easier due to its ability to perform easy calculations via more Excel-centric language rather than custom SQL. While custom SQL is a powerful skill, I have found it is easier to assist stakeholders in using data/dashboards when they do not have to use SQL to find them.
