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 - 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.

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.

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.

DoorDash Data Scientist Reviews Sigma.
I am currently a Data Scientist at Doordash. Around one year ago, we switched our dashboarding vendor from Chartio (Atlassian) to Sigma. I use Sigma on a near-daily basis to build data reports for my teammates. The main use cases for my dashboards include: Providing experiment result updates Provide high-level metrics around my focus area. Some of my teammates do not know how to use SQL, so they are unable to retrieve even basic functions out of our database. This means that any tables/charts that I produce in Sigma are extremely valuable.

Let's get Sigma'd!

We use Sigma to deliver reports and dashboards to the entire company — especially executives, department leads, and functional leads. We provide insights and metrics for financial reporting, operations, and product usage.

Sigma Computing : for the modern Data Driven world
Sigma Computing is at the center of our Data-Driven model within the organization. We use it for everything from displaying the state of the business on screens to automated report generation, providing our internal users the ability to quickly make data-driven decisions. Everyone from power users to regular users within our organization is utilizing the analytics, and business insights my department provides via Sigma Computing which reduces duplicate work and promotes self-service

Sigma gets everyone involved with data.
We use Sigma as an analytics platform for our citizen data analysts. Outside the core data team, everyone in the company is able to get access to Sigma if they want. This is great because we can leverage SQL and query our data warehouse rather than exporting CSVs and spreadsheets to create our presentations and reports. I use Sigma regularly to create charts/dashboards that reflect my KPIs and objectives.

Sigma review from BA.
Visualization and automation of analyses.
We use Sigma to create visualizations and dashboards for data that is stored on Snowflake. We also embed Sigma's dashboard into our business intelligence platform. Sigma is used to create joins on data tables too to create data sets.

SIGMA Fast and Easy to use.
SIGMA is an amazing tool. It has allowed us to consolidate data across multiple shipping locations to view sales, inventory, and product shorts. The tool is saving our sellers about 3 hours a day. Prior to Sigma, the sellers gathered the information from each location and consolidated the data to review. It is now consolidated for them.
We use Sigma Computing as a data analysis and visualization tool for performance marketing and website analytics data stored in a cloud data warehouse. We needed a user friendly interface to generate analyses of large streams of client paid media data, that allowed for distribution of visualizations internally and externally that allowed for access control.
