Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

I use Sigma Computing to measure delivery quality and volume on a daily basis with a huge number of metrics day over day and week over week.
  • Similar functions to Google Sheets/Excel
  • I like conditional formatting options
  • quick and easy chat support
  • Data loading can take way too long with large quants of data
  • Permissions issues when scheduling exports can cause problems and headaches for unknown reasons.
  • Improved shareability of data
  • Improved understanding of our own business

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

Not sure

Would you buy Sigma Computing again?

Yes

Sigma Computing is incredibly helpful, as I outlined in my prior question. As long as the dashboards are built well, they're easy to view and use for informed decisions.
I don't recommend Sigma Computing for this. It takes too long to sort thru data and the drill-down features include more datapoints than just want you wanted to drill down on, in my opinion.
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.
