Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

We use Sigma Computing as a secondary business intelligence tool. Our primary reporting is in Looker, but we use Sigma Computing as a quick way to prototype reports and perform ad hoc analyses. It fits into our tech stack as more powerful than Google Sheets but quicker to implement than Looker. So we often do metric reporting and analysis of product usage in Sigma Computing.

Pros

  • Data visualization
  • Integration with SQL
  • Workbook functionality

Cons

  • Concept of data levels is confusing
  • Dashboards are hard to create
  • High learning curve
  • Improved visibility to user behavior data
  • Improved access to metrics and reporting
  • Improved understanding of feature analysis

Did Sigma Computing live up to sales and marketing promises?

Did implementation of Sigma Computing go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Sigma Computing again?

No

I prefer Google Sheets, Looker, and Tableau over Sigma Computing. I was not involved in the purchasing decision but if it were up to me, we would use a different tool.
Sigma Computing works well as a secondary business intelligence tool, but I don’t think it is in the same league as Looker or Tableau. Many of the use cases can be captured with Google Sheets. I like the workbook capability but think the UI can really be improved. There’s still a learning curve to it.
