Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Sigma to build debugging tools to check the configuration and metadata input by Ops and Customers. I am quite proficient in writing SQL and query data, but not everyone is. It's really handy and let people use the tools so that they can figure out the issue on their own, instead of leveraging engineers time.

I like the conditional highlight feature.
I like the flexibility I can change the width and height of the widget.
I constantly update the dashboard so I'd like to see version somewhere in the view.
The query is a bit slow but I don't know if that's Sigma's issue or the query engine we are leveraging on.

Pros and Cons

flexibility change the UI layout
clear permission level

a bit slow (updating the permission view, query, changing the tabs)

Return on Investment

save time for my team

Likelihood to Recommend

well suited:
- building tools and be available for non-engineers

less appropriate
- just for analysis purpose. Jupyter is probably better tool. The main reason is Sigma takes quite a few steps to add a UI module. There is a learning curve for beginner in my opinion.
- i don't see a lot of charts support compared to similar products
