Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

We are using Sigma [Computing] to provide embedded dashboards to our customers in our product. Sigma [Computing] is also being used internally within our company by different departments to run day-to-day operations.
  • Sigma makes it extremely easy to embed dashboards in a secure manner within an application.
  • Sigma leverages the computing power and scalability of the underlying cloud data warehouse allowing it to process any amount of data with ease.
  • Sigma makes it extremely easy for non technical users to analyze data.
  • We would like to see Sigma be able to integrate with a source code control system, so that all our workbooks and dataset definitions can be checked in.
  • Adding to the first point, we would like to see Sigma use a typical source code branching methodology to allow development work to be promoted to production.
  • Sigma should be able to support language labels so that elements such as axis titles, report titles can be displayed in different languages based on the user.
  • Reduced time to develop and rollout pre-built dashboards for end users.
  • Rapid introduction of embedded analytics for our customers.
  • Significantly improved self-exploration capabilities for users.

The following key factors led to the selection of Sigma:
  • Ease of implementing row-level security in embedded dashboards.
  • Ease of embedding; embedded explorations.
