Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used across the whole organization to dive into and compile the data that we had to source individually before. We are able to do many things with it depending on the department but my biggest use of it is to get a full-picture of each of our partnerships and gauge how successful they are.

Pros and Cons

The different options to display data, whether it's a chart, just numbers or a combination of both.
The ability to expand deep into the numbers with a simple click

Sometimes it takes a while for data to load depending on size of the database
Had some issues with errors coming out or database not loading properly

Return on Investment

Positive impact in that I've been able to evaluate partnerships based on the data that I've been able to extract using Sigma

Usability

It takes a bit of time to get used to it, but once you figure out and test it for a few days it's pretty intuitive and easy to use

Support Rating

The only time I've had an issue, Sigma was fast to respond. I believe our Data team has a Slack channel with the Sigma team so that seems very helpful.

Sigma Computing SQL Knowledge

When presenting the data to upper management, it's easy for them to be able to access the report and mess around with it without having to know how to write SQL queries. It also helps when introducing Sigma to new employees who need the data and want to play around with it.

Sigma Collaboration

We have greatly benefitted from this capability. Our data team is able to create reports based on the different teams within the organization as well as the different users using Sigma, making it easy to access and share data.

Sigma Access Speed

I can't really speak to that as it's something our Data team handles and I haven't had to make use of this feature

Likelihood to Recommend

For an organization that has multiple data points but isn't able to display them in one document, Sigma is the perfect tool to be able to view all that data in one document/report. The different charts and displays help create a top-level view with the opportunity to dive deep into the data, which makes it helpful during meetings and the creation of reports.

Why did it take us so long to get Sigma?
