Key Insights

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

Not sure

Are you happy with Sigma Computing's feature set?

Yes

Did Sigma Computing live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Alternatives Considered

Mode and Tableau Desktop

Tableau too expensive
Mode also too expensive and kind of shitty

Sigma Computing is good for building dashboards for regular viewers and explorers and is pretty easy to learn without needing to be a data scientist. It's pretty bad, in my opinion, for explorations that require you to quickly sort through a lot of data. I find it's usually easier to just dump to a Google Sheet and run pivots etc.
