Overall Satisfaction with Sigma Computing

Just like any other BI tool.
Addresses the issue of allowing unlimited users so all people in the org can access data.
We use it for KPIs and reports
  • Excel Like feel
  • access snowflake data (if is table and not view)
  • customer support
  • Cross filtering
  • Data Drill through
  • User Attribution assignable to user level
  • Still too soon to note ROI

Yes

the unlimited users allows for all users to access the data.
It would be nice though if there was the ability to add a meta user id to each user in sigma so that we could easier link them to our other softwares
i dont do ad hoc analyses in sigma (thats what using python or R is for).
But sigma is better than Power BI in the sense of quickly collaborating on a worksheet
sorta in the middle.
One thing that differs than Domo or power bi, is that those softwares bring in the data into the platform, instead of how sigma runs a query against our data warehouse each time a user interacts with the dashboard (there is some small caching, so not always)
Well suited for a midsize company, who currently needs to start implementing an official BI platform for their organization.

If too small, not worth it yet. The cost structure just isn't worth it for sub 150-200 users.
If too large of a company might need even more functionality, and should possibly consider Looker or Tableua
