Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

It is our main business intelligence tool, and is used in tandem with Google BigQuery to be a connection point where teams and stakeholders can draw analysis and create reporting from our multiple data sources. The business problems this address includes ranges from internal analysis (such as providing cohesive reporting for our finance teams) to external problem solving (product, customer success, sales, and marketing).
  • Disseminate workbooks and information through user profiles and features with a relatively low learning curve.
  • Customization tools for colors/branding.
  • Limitation in visualizations that lead to long workarounds to get features we want, or to be able to display data in the way we like it.
  • Limit choices in customization when it comes to fonts, text size, and element sizing.
  • Difficulty in handling complicated dashboard designs that require multi-element/section movement and a higher number of elements.
  • Improved decision making and how intelligence is shared.

Sigma Computing has enabled a wide spread of teams to be able to view the same data/views since user management is easy with Sigma Computing. In our team, the data team is the one who creates the views/dashboards while the non-technical users remain as viewers. So far, the results have been positive.
Sigma Computing has enabled us, along with BigQuery, to view our data from multiple sources in a cohesive manner. This has proved to be very useful in decision-making.
Sigma Computing is well suited for an organization where the data practice is not as mature, or there are a lot of non-technical workers that may not be handle the complexity of other tools such as Tableau. However, for data teams that would like to be more hands-on, and want to create their own complex visualizations and dashboards, the current limitations of Sigma Computing may be frustrating.
