We used Sigma Computing to deliver multiple dashboards to client. The interface is very user friendly and the spreadsheet like features and calculations makes it easy to learn for the people who are working on spreadsheets. The ability to filter datasets using parameter and also the Row level security that can hide access to any rows from unauthorized access is a big add on. We have also implemented calendar heatmap using pivot table which was appreciated by the client as well.

We used Sigma Computing to deliver dashboards. The interface is very user friendly and the custom options that Sigma Computing provides are very helpful. The power of using control IDs of the filters as the parameters directly in the SQL query is a big hit. We have connected our front end application filters with the Sigma Computing dashboard filters and made them communicate with each other.

Sigma is the hub for all of our organizations reporting and dashboarding needs. We use it for everything from quick questions about our data, to advanced analysis and projections. As a small data team, I use Sigma daily to create workbooks and answer questions of my internal team. Sigma's workbook functionality is some of the best I've seen in any BI tool. Advanced questions that would involve complicated query writing are very fast to develop in Sigma's formula and table editors.

We're in the process of rolling Sigma out to our entire company as our "Analytics-endorsed" BI tool, replacing Domo. We're looking to facilitate easy self-service for business users to answer 80% of their own questions. For explorer and creator users, they have a ton of flexibility in slicing, grouping, and aggregating the data as they see fit.

We use Sigma Computing to query Snowflake data to run analysis on our clearinghouse data. One of our use cases is to identify pricing gaps with each of our clearing houses, instead of going to our AD to request for the underlying data from Power BI, these data are ultimately stored in Snowflake, we can utilize Sigma Computing to query the large set of data sat in Snow Flake on an on-demand basis. Sigma Computing is easy to use and intuitive, anyone who knows basic Excel is able to learn Sigma Computing quickly. The Sigma specialists are very helpful and good at follow-up with any issues users have.
