Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

Sigma is our primary delivery method for data and dashboards built on top of Snowflake data. We originally purchased Sigma as a supplement to Tableau's lack of ability to generate quality non-visual reports (Excel style reports). Sigma excelled at that. As Sigma has grown over the last couple of years, it has rapidly replaced Tableau as a visualization tools for us as well. Now, almost all of our dashboards and reporting for business intelligence run through Sigma. The product just keeps expanding and getting even better.

Pros

  • Built-in data transformation and formulas.
  • Intuitive interface.
  • Embedding in web pages and portals.

Cons

  • Visualization has great growth, but expansion is needed in chart/graph customization.
  • More rapid deployment of dashboards.
  • The expanded base of people who can create dashboards.
  • Greater use of our data warehouse data across campus.

Sigma beats them all in terms of ease of use and interface. Tableau is more customizable than Sigma, particularly with custom graphics. Sigma is far more feature-rich than Metabase as a basic reporting tool. Sigma makes PowerBI look like a 1980s desktop tool. Dataiku is more focused on data science and predictive analytics. It is stronger in that area than Sigma, although Sigma is working on extending their data science functionality.
Sigma provides an easy solution for the rapid deployment of reporting and visualizations built on Snowflake Data Warehouse. Compared to other products I have used, it is very easy to learn and does not require much training. They provide rapid support, solicit feedback from their clients, and are consistently making improvements. I am impressed with the product and the company and would highly recommend them. If there are strict visual design requirements that cannot be accommodated by Sigma's built-in capabilities, then it may not be well suited for you. It's not a visually customizable as some other tools.
