I would say the only thing that can be annoying, is the load speed. Sometimes my tables and dashboards time out.

Incredibly Useful Tool for data analysis and workflow
Aspetti positivi:
The speed with which I'm able to pull together disparate data and generate some useful insights. The Dashboard functionality has been particularly useful in creating reporting our teams can use with customers and prospects.
Aspetti negativi:
Version management and permissions. It's hard to keep everyone looking at the same version of a document, to view data, a document is created and generically named, so our folder system is getting very full and hard to navigate. Additionally, there's no way to tell if another user will be able to see a given document without asking them to try viewing it, and there's no way for them to request view access to that document.

Quick route to collaborative BI (especially for Excel users)
Commenti: Sigma got my business to the point of insightful, collaborative BI in a couple of weeks, and it instantly was our most critical performance monitoring tool.
Aspetti positivi:
Love the dataset -> spreadsheet -> dashboard usage model Seamless integration with Snowflake
Aspetti negativi:
User admin/roles functionality is not as easy and consistent to administer as it should be
Decent features, need to cater to code-less users
Aspetti positivi:
the customer service chat button was nice
Aspetti negativi:
the way of drag and drop report building is not intuitive
Two month review
Commenti: So far, I have loved it. For a month of experience, I feel very empowered to create the reports necessary to drive the business.
Aspetti positivi:
Love the simplicity of creating reoccurring reports and setting them up for automated delivery.
Aspetti negativi:
Some of the more complex formulas can be difficult to create, however the support has helped immensely. Only other con would be some of the output formats. one of the largest issues I still have is to output to a format that includes the entire list of (pick a column)
Sigma shaved 5 hours off my monthly reporting
Commenti:
While Sigma could be great for a lot of use cases, there is one in particular that I use it for. Every month I have a summary report that I have to put together. I used to run multiple database queries, dump the data out into Excel, do some manual sorting and manipulation of the data, and then build out pivot tables so that I could see trends month over month. Sigma takes care of all of the data fetching, formatting, and styling for me (and lets me do it in a way that turns out better than I had in Excel).
Doing the reports this way, now saves me about 5 hours a month off of that monthly report that I was doing, which means that I have more time for data exploration, and spend less time with data garbage collection.
Aspetti positivi:
I love the ability to build out extra columns in my data visually, which lets me build pivot tables that I cannot even replicate in Excel. Having built out tables once, I can reuse them again and again with fresh data without having to pull and manually re-translate everything like I used to do. Having the ability to change the type of data in a column to a new structure saves me a lot of time. Extracting JSON from my tables is a snap!
Aspetti negativi:
While the documentation is good, I wish there was a little better messaging around error handling. Sigma formatting is slightly different from the PostgreSQL that I am used to. I wish that there was a little more visual punch to the charts I can make.
Excel for your data warehouse
Commenti: I help B2B SaaS startup founders and CMOs with their customer data platforms and reporting. The ability to create additional columns on your data containing custom formulas and the ability to sort and filter on multiple columns is great. One of my clients uses Sigma and I’ve been extremely impressed at how easy and quickly it is to build reports on multiple tables of data without writing any complex SQL. For example, sessionization of page view and event time series data is a complex SQL query which can be performed within a few minutes in Sigma without any knowledge of SQL. It’s a great tool for business users.
Aspetti positivi:
I’ m very impressed at Sigma’s ease of use for building reports from my clients data warehouse running on Snowflake. If you can use Excel, and understand the data in your database you can be up and running extremely quickly without having to write SQL queries or any code to describe your database. The ability to create additional columns on your data containing custom formulas and the ability to sort and filter on multiple columns is great.
Aspetti negativi:
As with any tool there is a learning curve to the interface, but since it’s similar to a spreadsheet, it’s quick to learn. Theres no feature yet to save custom formulas to be used across worksheets so you’ll have to copy and paste them for now.
Good product, becoming better every quarter
Commenti: I was using Sigma increasingly over the last year or so. One thing that I am most pleased with is how in the new releases I can see the issues raised by me and my coworkers addressed and solved. It is becoming more and more usable with time.
Aspetti positivi:
Sigma is a quick and easy way to map from a SQL query through intermediate exploration to customer-ready visualization
Aspetti negativi:
No way to save the complete project as code, which can be edited, version-controlled, ported, etc
Good software to organize your KPIs
Commenti: Good enough to push SIGMA as an organizational tool. We are currently active using it, and it has helped give our [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] enough visibility on where our challenges are.
Aspetti positivi:
I like the flexibility on displaying the information that makes sense the most on our organization.
Aspetti negativi:
There were some restrictions when showing text alongside graphs, and the toolbars didn’t allow for enough flexibility to our liking. Other than that, pretty good experience overall
Sigma is a powerful tool
Commenti: I have been able to expand my personal skillset with sigma and work towards better data insights.
Aspetti positivi:
Sigma offers a great way for me to explore tables in our database and visualize those insights. Building worksheets and converting those sheets into dashboards have been very valuable for me.
Aspetti negativi:
There is a learning curve here. It may take a while to get completely comfortable using the product. Once you do, the possibilities for data analytics expand.
A useful tool for specific problems
Commenti: Monthly compliance reporting handoff to non-technical individuals.
Aspetti positivi:
For someone who is not particularly tech savvy, Sigma is a great way to take SQL queries written by someone who is, and then be able to modify the data in real time using the sort of functionality we're all used to via Excel. Sigma also is easy to export data from, and the scheduling functionality is quite useful for recurring reports.
Aspetti negativi:
Because Sigma has to re-pull data every time you open a sheet, it is incredibly slow. Certain reports can take multiple minutes to load, and once any filters are applies, it has to re-pull the report, causing those minutes to be lost again. Because of this, it's often easier to just download all the data and then do the filtering/etc in excel/google sheets.
Sigma helps you analyze your numbers and visualize them to your team!
Commenti: Overall, Sigma is a great product with plenty of options for viewing your data and presenting it. I cannot remember a time where it was this easy to show someone results in data form with accompanying graphs to help visualize the data in a palatable way.
Aspetti positivi:
Sigma is mostly easy to use, and has a very clean and simple presentation. The data is almost always accurate, and has little downtime for updates. My teams have no problems finding the info they need after I showed them where to look!
Aspetti negativi:
The dashboard/site could use with some personality and flair. The drab black/white can be somewhat monotonous. Offering classes/tutorials for how to find certain data sets, and analyze your results would be a huge bonus.
Unintuitive
Commenti: I can easily see high-level insights, like how many users of a certain type are utilizing our software, some usage trends, etc. However, when trying to do a deep dive to understand user health aspects over time, I don't have the skill or patience to create a report to track this type of usage in Sigma.
Aspetti positivi:
Some of the charts are nice for visuals and I can create high-level reports.
Aspetti negativi:
I dislike the process in trying to to create reports. I have some development experience and I much prefer running searches with SQL - I find it much more intuitive than Sigma's interface. Due to this and my limited time, I haven't taken much time to learn Sigma and get comfortable with it, especially when I'm familiar with SQL. It creates a bit of a bottleneck for our company in that our data analysts are the only ones who seem to really be able to create reports with Sigma. I want a tool where I can easily create a report as well.
It works!
Commenti: I use Sigma to manage inventory company wide across the country and it's easy to see where things are and when.
Aspetti positivi:
easy to see all info in one place, for multiple needs
Aspetti negativi:
I have no complaints about anything sigma. but we also have someone who was able to walk me through how to create different reports at my workplace
Good BI for basic data visualization
Aspetti positivi:
1. excel like so it's easy to pick up 2. can connect to the live database and without writing SQL query 3. can share the worksheet and schedule to send out the worksheet via email
Aspetti negativi:
1. it's not easy to use if you want to do a complicated report: once you aggregate multiple worksheets / refer other worksheet and apply multiple filters, it's hard to verify your result and make it in the correct format. 2. the articles to discuss the Sigma features or best practice are not comprehensive.
Great software that's easy to use and visualizes data in an easy-to-digest way
Aspetti positivi:
Visualizations, charts, tables, filters for columns
Aspetti negativi:
Understanding how to add certain columns, the different layers within the data
Great tool for non-IT users
Aspetti positivi:
Sigma makes non-IT users' access and manipulation of big data super convenient and intuitive. Works great.
Aspetti negativi:
I think some of the self-learning features of the tool can be improved. I had to relay on in-house experts for learning some of the features of the tool.
Sigma for Usage Reports
Commenti: We are using sigma to pull usage data from our customer base. We rely heavily on this data in order to measure the value that the customers are getting from Yesware, identify churn risks and areas for adoption. Without Sigma, I would not be able to do my job to the best of my ability.
Aspetti positivi:
Access directly from the browser, quickly pulls the results I need
Aspetti negativi:
Sometimes it is difficult to sift through the different dashboards - this could be an internal issue
Great tool without sql requirements
Commenti: We use this tool to send dashboards and reports to external clients.
Aspetti positivi:
This tool is very easy to set up and very intuitive for end users. Sql knowledge is not necessary, but Sigma offers the option of writing SQL statement to generate data set. The queries is sent back to cloud to execute which make Sigma allow you to quickly query vast amounts of data. The row level data security allows us to distribute the same dashboards to different clients and each client only can see their own data.
Aspetti negativi:
I only use this product in a short time period and have not found anything I dislike.
A vast improvement over our previous product
Commenti: Using Sigma as a tool to prioritize asset service and inspection has been a game changer. Much better visualization tools than the competitor's product we previously used.
Aspetti positivi:
It is much faster and easier to read than our old reporting software
Aspetti negativi:
I would like the ability to modify the sort on the fly. Currently an admin has to adjust it, if it is needed
Sigma Computing Review
Commenti: it's been ok, better than the system i was using before but certainly not the best i have used.
Aspetti positivi:
The options are nice to have. We also have been able to compute what we need from the report.
Aspetti negativi:
It is the slowest thing on the face of the earth
Basic Reporting Tool
Aspetti positivi:
I like that I can pull my customer's usage with ease
Aspetti negativi:
I think this is mostly how our account is set up - like we haven't invested that much time to set it up but wish there were graphics pulling the data together.
Very Convenient Software to Use but have found less use for it as we've matured as a company
Commenti: I used Sigma very often when I joined Lime in October through early 2019. However, I learned how to use SQL and was more flexibly able to use Snowflake. Going to Snowflake gave me more flexibility. So I moved away from Sigma
Aspetti positivi:
The software is very powerful allowing me to do things I couldn't have given my previous lack of SQL It made sharing queries in a useable way easy
Aspetti negativi:
Given that we constantly updated underlying queries, version control of various worksheets was hard. Also, sometimes Sigma was slow as I think the query ran everytime a manipulation happened
solid product
Aspetti positivi:
constant update and improve; great online support and customer service.
Aspetti negativi:
the navigation bar needs improvement, too many clicks every time.
Good product
Aspetti positivi:
Ability to connect to multiply databases
Aspetti negativi:
Not enough flexibility to edit tables like excel
As a non-data team member, I find Sigma navigable and intuitive
Commenti: Great for a non-data team member accessing and pulling reports.
Aspetti positivi:
Pulling reports is easy, there are plenty of filters, and I can usually find what I need pretty quickly.
Aspetti negativi:
Haven't looked around enough to find challenges, but maybe more learning opps in app would help that.
