Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

Sigma Computing is being used to analyze data reported by a network of android-based devices in the field, and the manufacturing info for those devices. In particular, my team uses it to track errors or issues that are reported. Sigma allows us to see trends for issues as they arise and predict future failure rates.

Pros

  • Aggregating large data sets.
  • Charting the data.
  • Performing quick queries.
  • Saving queries by user and allowing users to share queries.

Cons

  • The user interface had at least one big change in the past two years, which was confusing.
  • I would like to be able to create and run report on the fly, instead of having to schedule them.
  • Better navigation using tabs and menus.
  • Positive - identified emerging issues quickly so they can be tracked and worked on.
  • Positive - ability to drill down into data sets quickly allows us to identify suspect populations if we have defective components.
It has a clean and modern interface. However, it is not completely intuitive. I think it would be better and easier to navigate with more Windows style drop down menus and/or tabls. There is a significant learning curve, but that may be due in part to the technical nature of this type of software tool.
My support has been primarily through our internal company data team, so I have not had to use any support directly from Sigma Computing.
I was not part of the evaluation process in selecting Sigma. I do know that our team did look at some other products, and one of the big drawbacks about one of them was that it was very difficult to export the results from reports or queries in a format that was usable in Excel. For my work, that would be a deal breaker, so I am glad to see how easy exporting is in Sigma.
It is well suited for analyzing large data sets, or bringing together several data sets in one place for analysis. The tools provided are very powerful. It is not good for people who want to start using it quickly with little experience. It is great when you need to be able to quickly export reports or data sets.
