Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

- We use it a lot to share spreadsheet-like data with "power users" - Use it to distribute hourly, daily metrics through Slack based on workbooks built in Sigma Computing- Use it to create dashboards to distribute analytics tools with business users for their own analysis and data exploration - It's starting to be an alternative to Tableau for analytics tools since it can run custom SQL in the existing connections.

Pros

  • Easy visualization creation
  • Customizable charts
  • Relationships between dataset fields

Cons

  • Cross database datasets
  • Filtering using the charts (Like Actions in Tableau)
  • Usage of containers within Workbooks / Dashboards to organize content
  • Improved self-service for business users
  • Improved work times for analysts sharing information through Slack
  • Improved distribution of content for viewers and easy exploration
