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 Computing Review
We use the draft and explore functions a ton - even users who don't have edit licenses are able to play around with our internal data and give input to business problems

Great tool with some weird kinks
Because there is still a learning curve, there are not that many people in our organization that can utilize Sigma to build out their own reporting. We still have many different blockers regarding ad hoc analyses or why something happened in order to make decisions.
We are currently only at a point where we can at a high level determine success or not. We are not able to currently dive a little deeper to understand where those opportunities are.

Sigma Recommended.
We haven't had a lot of use of their ad hoc analyses. It does help to explore and gives me a broader way of looking at how the data is set up.

Sigma Rolling Out.
The live reports helps us see and address any changes that occur. Be it new inventory or why a unit may not be moving. We are able to see it and be reactive or proactive and plan ahead.

My Sigma Review
This has helped me dig into my Snowflake data sets to identify problems in how our data has been pushed, or problems in our pipeline between table creation. We have data coming from many sources that is connected in Snowflake, and it is easier to comb through tables in Sigma rather than write a lot of queries in Snowflake to find answers.

Sigma Review
Control filters have allowed me to analyzebig chunks of data and find hidden patterns within it. I am
able to turn a filter on and off to compare different results based on different categories. This has been immensely helpful when comparing different products and their analyzing their efficiency. I also leverage control filters to group certain groups of users together and compare and contrast their behaviors.

Nearly perfect, missing some nice to have features
We are able to go into Sigma and pull data quickly to make informed decisions.

I tell everyone about Sigma!
Sigma's table and dataset creation capabilities make it easy to create time-series based reporting to understand not only why something happened, but the history behind when it happened. We use this functionality in many of our reports. Having the ability to join tables created in Sigma, back to warehouse tables, or other Sigma components, makes this very fluid and easy to understand what is happening in the data.

Great BI tool loved by many business stakeholders
Personally, my role does more building out the reports for stakeholders to use and to create data pipelines to make it feasible to make that happen. However, sometimes more for personal edification of better understanding certain trends in the business I look into the data.

A data analysis tool that is easy implement and easy to learn.
Sigma allows for datasets to be quickly and easily ported from our database management software, Snowflake. In other words, a sample dataset can easily be published in Snowflake and copied to Sigma for small scale, adhoc analysis that needs to be performed quickly. Alternatively, our team can also choose to more thoroughly vet and automate a dataset to refresh in Sigma on whatever cadence we choose if we know ongoing analysis and monitoring is required. In other words, Sigma allows us to handle all relevant use cases for data analysis that we typically encounter.

Love Sigma
High impact here. I use Sigma all the time for ad hoc drill down into data and explore new data.

Getting data into your users' hands quickly and easily
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Since creating Sigma content is quite quick and easy, our analysts can create Sigma content to answer ad-hoc questions, if the user thinks they'll need the data more than once. We can easily revert back to earlier versions of dashboards to see what the state of the data would have been in a previous iteration.

Excellent Tool for Business Analysis
This is our company's main use case for Sigma, to quickly spin up ad-hoc reporting and analysis
September 14, 2023
Actionable and fun data analytics
Sigma has helped us by getting intertwined deeply in our weekly processes so that we are able to continuously visualize business behavior by looking at the data. It helps us understand and identify trends early and react to potential impacts, it lets us prepare for a negative outcome and come out stronger than if we didn’t have it.

Sales Ops Usage
I pull data from sigma into gSheets still. Sigma is helpful for structuring the data into a table and making it easily accessible. However, I’m not quick enough in sigma to do the actual analysis and look for correlations all the time so i still will do a lot of the analysis in gSheets

Best computing program in the market!
Sigma Computing is easier to use and help our team to streamline our analysis on pricing gap from our third party pricing vendors. Also, we can quickly identify where and what exactly had gaps in the pricing coverage. We can also use graphs to quickly show case our result to senior management to reach conclusions.
With it's easy to use interface it's easy to change the display of data and drill into a specific piece of data. This is dependent on how your data is structured before going into Sigma.

Extremely powerful tool for reporting
Positively.

Life saver for our firm
Sigma has all the tools you need to display and manipulate data any way you want to

Sigma isn't that bad
i dont do ad hoc analyses in sigma (thats what using python or R is for).
But sigma is better than Power BI in the sense of quickly collaborating on a worksheet

Spreadsheets on Steroids
Because Sigma is so easy to use it's really easy to create quick reports on questions I may have about my data and get answers into the hands of stakeholders via easy sharing. Because of it's spreadsheet like interface it's really easy to drill down into charts to see the underlaying data and understand what may be pulling a metric one way or another.

Sigma Computing is an amazing BI solution if you want to build self-serve data product
the load time for dashboard helped user to utilize dashboards more often and improved user experience compare to Tableau. The easy way to export underlying data to google sheet allow business user to do more in-depth Analysis without reaching out to data team
for some more technical user, we can just give them prepared dataset, and they can explore by themselves.

Great for dashboarding and tracking metrics

We typically don't use Sigma for ad hoc analysis; it's primarily used for tracking metrics and keeping an eye on trends over time. We use a combo of SQL and Excel to conduct ad hoc analyses.
