Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

My team uses Sigma to gain better access to our firm's internal datasets and to be less reliant on data engineers to produce reports and analyses for us. These reports have given the finance team faster and more flexible access to data that drives our external financial reporting, internal FP&A functions, regulatory reporting and responses, and in some cases have replaced manual processes that existed to facilitate operations.

Pros

  • Reduced learning curve compared to other products
  • User friendly interface
  • Very responsive support chat

Cons

  • Communicating errors and why they happen
  • Preventing users from performing functions that commonly cause errors
  • East coast support times
  • Saved time
  • Improved documentation
  • improved self-service

Do you think Sigma Computing delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Sigma Computing's feature set?

Yes

Did Sigma Computing live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Sigma Computing go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Sigma Computing again?

Yes

We considered Looker when purchasing a BI tool, Looker seemed like it was less user friendly and support wouldn't be as responsive as Sigma.
Sigma has been very easy to pick up and share with others, people catch on quickly because the calculated fields tool is very similar to Excel. I also have the ability to schedule exports to excel for those who do not want to use the platform.

Moving date filters have been tough for Sigma to handle with the nature of our datasets. We have daily ledgers that are only useful one day at a time (and bank dates only), but the preset dates filters are better suited for date ranges (i.e. the "last month" filter is 7/1/2022 to 7/31/2022, while we would just want 7/31/2022). We tend to need to get creative with our functions to get moving dates to work.
