Likelihood to Recommend

We use Sigma Computing as our go-to tool for ad-hoc analysis. Its user-friendly interface allows colleagues to perform their analyses instead of relying on others saving my team to respond to simple questions and allowing us to focus on more deep-dive analyses. What we love the most is their helpful Live Chat feature that connects me with a Sigma associate to achieve more complex analysis.

The necessary last part of the Data stack!
