Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

We use Sigma to deliver reports and dashboards to the entire company — especially executives, department leads, and functional leads. We provide insights and metrics for financial reporting, operations, and product usage.
  • Sigma is particularly well integrated with Snowflake, and developing reports on top of Snowflake data is very straightforward.
  • Sigma has improved our productivity. The authoring features for creating new charts and dashboards are intuitive and simple but still rich enough to handle the majority of visualizations that we need to produce.
  • Sigma guides our development priorities. By providing usage data out of the box, it lets me see who is most engaged, which reports are most popular and which are failing to gain an audience.
  • Versioning and branching could be easier.
  • More productivity tools, e.g., improving the templating capabilities, allowing graph reuse, copy-pasting between dashboards, etc.
  • Users who want to explore the reports need a more expensive license. This seems just a little more restrictive than we would like.
  • Reduced the time to deliver insights — less data scientist time on report development.
  • Increased the visibility of data and insights — improved efficiency.
  • Simplified access to Snowflake data — reduced cloud costs.

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

Over half the employees at Astronomer interact with our reports on a weekly basis.
Sigma is great at publishing standard reports and pretty good at iterative, ad hoc reporting.
Ideal scenario: Basic interaction with corporate and departmental dashboards, using Snowflake data. Less ideal: Highly interactive exploration of structured and unstructured data from multiple sources.
