I'm using Sigma Computing primarily to capture and track all KPIs related to customer service. In addition to that, our organization is using Sigma to track all KPIs across multiple different systems. Sigma allows our business users to be able to create, view, and manipulate data how they feel like it is needed.

We use it to embed onto our website for client-facing reporting and internal reporting for our teams that need to see our Sigma data but don't have access to our database. The client-facing reporting is being used to show customers specific data they want to see, but we don't want to give them Sigma access.

Used for KPI dashboards, monthly/quarterly financial reporting, tracking data sets, and manipulating data. I have used Sigma to make dashboards interactive, creating input tables for different teams to adjust scenarios on the fly. I have also created many datasets in the background to improve the calculation and loading speeds of common Excel dashboards.

Sigma Computing is used to monitor and display data used in our organization. We are also using Sigma Computing as a product alternative. Our business is an alternative data provider, and Sigma does a great job at allowing us to easily visualize and connect to live data in the Cloud Data Warehouse.

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 use it to create reports for other teams to provide a more complete view of the company. We are able to create workbooks that report on a global level (not just D2C, E-commerce, etc) and be able to connect different sources of data that would've been separate otherwise.

I create analytics reporting for many stakeholders. I make customer data available on a variety of dashboards to our account managers, I create internal reporting of platform usage data for custom partner billing arrangements, and I complete custom data requests for anyone from customer experience reps needing custom data exports to product managers seeking to learn more about our platform features.

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.

Key sales KPIs, stack-ranking sales people on activity and conversion. We also use it for executive reporting, distilling the health of the sales engine into digestible visuals, graphs, and charts.

I also use it to dissect specific problems. For example if we are seeing an issue during a specific point in the sales funnel, I’ll use sigma to dissect the problem and reach a solution.

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.

We use Sigma to create dashboard and reporting: Data Analysts take care of this creation of dashboards, and they perform Market Analaysis, as well as Product Data analysis, to analyse the usage of some features, some AB tests results...
One of the business problem addressed could be the usage of the Marketplace, reorder rate, churn rate, along with segmentation of our users.

Sigma allows us to preview and visualize data. All data visible in Sigma comes from our data warehouse, SnowFlake, which is our one and only source of truth for all data. Having Sigma helped us address discrepancies that we faced before, when teams were reporting out of different tools.

We have all kinds of data ranging from trades, transactions, accounts and static data that is all over the place. We primarily use sigma to create reports and dashboards for non technical users to make sense of all that data and efficiently perform their daily tasks.

I use sigma to bring real-time analysis to my sales and marketing teams. I create dashboards that influence business decisions and allow my stakeholders to move our business in the appropriate direction. We track sales pipeline, sale performance, win-rates, and deal cycle times only with Sigma. We join desperate tables and datasources together to paint a clear picture of the metrics with a wholistic view.
