Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

In our organization, we use Sigma for external users, we create and embed dashboards in our application.

We try to replace all our existing tabular reporting with Sigma's new good-looking workbooks. For this we have set up a new warehouse, which is directly used by Sigma for presenting production data.

Pros

  • Support
  • Ease of use
  • Embedding

Cons

  • Visualizations
  • Tabular reports
  • Customization
  • Increased customer satisfaction
  • Improved self-service for business users
  • Overall Increased Costs (Sigma, additional Warehouse, etc)
  • Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer (discontinued)
I think overall Sigma Computing is much better tool for Oracle Business Intelligence. It has newer feel and look, it is lighter and easier to use. There might be some complex areas where OBI does a better job, but overall I prefer using Sigma Computing. Especially for small sized companies.

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

Yes

Are you happy with Sigma Computing's feature set?

No

Did Sigma Computing live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Sigma Computing go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Sigma Computing again?

Yes

Sigma is quite good BI Tool.

Main disadvantage is that as it is a new product, and has no long history, there are plenty of features that are missing(Linking objects, customization of tabular reports).
In my experience, business user are constantly asking things that can not be done by Sigma.
Also I am facing bugs quite often.

However, Sigma is improving quite fast and they are working on new features. Support is very quick and quite helpful, they have live chat which really is a good way to have answers on your questions. Also I think they have reasonable pricing, especially if you want to use it for application embedding. You should really check your requirements, before choosing them, but I have a feeling that Sigma will be better and better time to time.
