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
Yes, and the data is made digestible so that all business users can access and analyze the data. The tutorials make it easy for any users to ramp up using the platform, and the collaboration functions allow everyone to be on the same page when making business decisions

Great tool with some weird kinks
Sigma allows us to use all our data sources together which has been impossible before. Allowing our customer service operations to be able to access the data on a regular basis along with removing the need for manual agent reporting has been a game-changer. In a high paced environment of customer phone calls, actively pushing out reporting to Slack on an hourly basis allows us to be more agile. Using the tool also has encouraged business users to learn how to build their own charts especially without the SQL learning curve.

Sigma Recommended.
It has made it easier to keep access to our reporting in a singular place and organized and allowed us to share our reporting in a much easier and safer way so that other people not from our organization can see what we see.

Sigma Rolling Out.
Access to multiple reports to see the status of multiple locations. Being able to dig even deeper in the report to find root causes and plan.

My Sigma Review
It has helped users enter their own scenarios and thresholds on the fly to see different results. It has helped our teams have a more up-to-date financial analysis of the companies we are invested in. This allows quicker decision-making on investment performance. The team loves the input tables

Sigma Review
Sigma Computing has allowed me to expand my data knowledge with new tools like input tables and control filters. For those with a non technical background, they can click on visualizations and see where the data is coming from and and review the overall structure of how these visualizations are built.

Nearly perfect, missing some nice to have features
Sigma has allowed our non-technical users to interact and see data without having to create anything themselves.
February 08, 2024
I tell everyone about Sigma!
In the past, non-technical users did not have a way to access our organization's data without manual intervention from the Business Intelligence team.
Now, Sigma is the go to location for data access. The UI is clear enough that users can immediately start using data once they start using Sigma via consuming pre-built reports.
Several teams in our organization utilize Sigma daily for operational reporting and tracking of initiatives.

Great BI tool loved by many business stakeholders
Many of our business stakeholders use Sigma regularly. Mostly viewing reports but some savvy users use the explore functions to go deeper into the data to get a better understanding of what is happening currently in the business.

A data analysis tool that is easy implement and easy to learn.
Sigma has allowed me to quickly spin up accurate and detailed dashboards. These dashboards are intuitive and allow non-technical end users to easily digest and manipulate complex datasets. Prior to Sigma, the turn around time between conception and publication took upwards of 2 months but with Sigma it has gone down to upwards of 2 weeks without compromising the flexibility or detail held within a dashboard. Furthermore, Sigma allows for much larger datasets to be utilized without having extensive load times.

Getting data into your users' hands quickly and easily

Since we're still in the midst of our rollout, this is a bit of "yet to be seen". We intend on rolling viewer access out to the whole company, so every person will have read-only access to certain company wide content, such as dashboards showing our level 1 metrics. For power users, they will have all of the available data marts from Snowflake to query.

Excellent Tool for Business Analysis
Sigma has allowed us to create reporting on much larger sets of data and make much more complex manipulations of that data with no impact to performance

Actionable and fun data analytics
Sigma has enabled our employees to access and explore critical business data, relevant to their processes. It allows for faster, more efficient and accurate decision making by providing data within valuable context in a timely and friendly manner. Managers and Directors are now aware of their metrics and their team’s performance as well as having it in context of other areas’ information.

Sales Ops Usage
Anyone with SQL skill set has very easily adopted sigma and saved time for the data team. It has allowed biz users a new degree of independence and speed for answering their own questions. And initiated a culture where finding your own answers is expected and importantly cheered on, which is great

Best computing program in the market!
This year, our team incorporated Sigma Computing in our deep dive analysis for coverage and any Adhoc analysis. It's much easier to spot data issues and pricing gaps in our user case analysis by using Sigma Computing. For example, we can identify whether our third-party pricing vendors are accurately providing prices to our pricing universe which includes over 2 million securities daily. Using Sigma Computing to power query our Snowflake database have efficiently reduced hours of manual work and reduced human errors.
By having the data available to the leadership team in an easy to understand way, it's changed the context of meeting from "what happened" to "why did this happen"? Which leads to much more time focused on solutions than problems.

Nice usage of Sigma
When people got used to it, the materialization tables and datasets, it helped a lot.
The non-technical users can access the data, but the rights sharing could be improved.

Extremely powerful tool for reporting
Sigma brought transparency to the company. Everyone has access to numbers and data they need and we stopped dealing with discrepancies compared to before when users were reporting in multiple tools.

Life saver for our firm
We did not have any solutions for data self service without knowing sql and Sigma totally solved this problem plus some.
August 07, 2023
Sigma isn't that bad
the unlimited users allows for all users to access the data.
It would be nice though if there was the ability to add a meta user id to each user in sigma so that we could easier link them to our other softwares

Spreadsheets on Steroids
Sigma is very easy to use for non-technical users. If they have any experience working with spreadsheets at all Sigma will come very easily to them. I've found that to be Sigma's strongest feature when compared to other platforms. I don't feel like I need to learn something entirely new, it's very intuitive and their support pages are very easy to access and follow.

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
