Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

We see Sigma being used as a complement to Tableau or PowerBI for the power users. They are using Sigma to rapidly gain access to data, even in its raw form, to assist with curation, and create a proof of concept insights. Traditionally, this process took weeks or months--now it's hours.

Pros

  • Rapid access to data for business users
  • Excel-like functionality that is familiar to most business users
  • Unique features such as being able to upload an Excel file into Snowflake
  • Ability to rapidly process massive amounts of data
  • Ease to learn interface

Cons

  • We liked the previous pricing of low cost of entry and the ability to show value
  • Promotion of Worksheets and more granular security on Workspaces and folders
  • More configuration of the interface, as it can be overwhelming
  • More training
  • Saved time in curation of data consolidated from multiple sources
  • Accelerated access for the business to critical business data
There is a lot on the interface that interferes with the discovery of the data.
Love the instant chat feature and quick assistance.
Sigma Computing offers an Excel-like interface that is familiar to business users, a low-cost entry point, and
rapid setup and access to data.
Sigma Computing is great for power users that are used to Excel. It's great to get rapid access to the data.
